R Sound Episode - Learn to Talk & Pronounce R - with Teacher Jen - Toddler and Child learning video

The R sound is one of the trickiest sounds in English! It is commonly mixed up with the W sound and sometimes the L sound. Follow along with Teacher Jen to get the hang of this sound! We start off with a close up of how to say the letter R. Open your mouth wide, lift your tongue to the back of your mouth, and close your teeth! This will naturally make the sound so it's a good place to start. To help, Teacher Jen shows this up close! Next, lets practice our growls! Because the G sound is similar in placement to R, it's sometimes easier to make the R sound in combination with G. So, for a fun activity, let's say "GRRRR" with lions, tigers and bears, oh my! Building on that, Teacher Jen practices words that start with Gr-, giving time for the viewer to fill in the blank. After that, we explore some rhymes and songs featuring the R song, because what is learning without music and fun? Enjoy learning along with Teacher Jen!
