Ep 32: The many faces of /r/

Deb and Maria drank Cinzano Prosecco and paired it with goat milk Feta. Maria voted "sink it" and Deb voted "sink it" because the wine was super sweet.

Next they played a game called "what aRe you talking about?" Maria stated different /r/ words in the initial position to answer the questions.

Later they discussed how they treat the /r/ phoneme in therapy sessions. Deb and Maria agreed that perception is very important to target prior to expression. Deb likes to use minimal pairs, drills and eventually poems. Maria likes to also incorporate those techniques but use books to promote carryover and target literacy.

They are also still selling pink and white blah blah blah blah shirts.

After their halfway point Deb and Maria shared their "R poems". The poems can be found on their Patreon page.

For their Tips and Tricks segment, Maria recommended assessing the surrounding sounds with /r/. For instance, if a student has difficulty with /or/ start with easier sounds and then introduce more difficult sounds. Deb recommended pairing a visual with a "r" face and a "w" face. Their Quote was “if you get tired learn to rest, not quit". - Thessalonians 3:13
