Vocalic -AR Reading Paragraph

When you live on a farm, your day starts early in the morning. The alarm goes off around 4 a.m. It is always dark outside when we wake up, but the stars are pretty to look at.

Some days it feels like your heart needs a jump start. My dog, Barney, helps me wake up by licking my face. Sometimes he will bark at me too. He makes a great guard dog.

Once we get our hearts going, we go downstairs and eat a big breakfast. When breakfast is over, we pick up the yard a little and head to the barn. Working in the barn is like being in the army, there are a lot of rules to stay safe. The barn is quiet in the mornings.

When morning chores are finished it is time for lunch. After lunch we work with the crops until dinner. After dinner we relax from a hard day's work. We like to look at the stars, play marbles and cards, and sometimes we take a ride in the car. Then we go to bed and get ready to do it all again in the morning.

Vocalic -AIR Reading Paragraph

Sheriff of fairview.

Gary was the Sheriff of Fairview. He had lived in Fairview his whole life. His parents and grandparents had lived in Fairview their whole lives too. Gary knew everyone. He remembered that his scariest nightmare was about living somewhere else and not knowing anyone.

Fairview was a town where Gary had experienced a lot of "firsts" in his life. It was where he shot his first arrow, ran his first marathon, saw his first bear, and bought his first parrot. He was even married in the Fairview town square.

Every year, Fairview held its annual fair. It was some of the best fun the town members had all year. They often shared their stories with each other from years before.

During last year's fair, Gary warned everyone to beware of the bear around the town. It had been looking for food and wandered into the town square right during the fair. It scared a lot of people, luckily no one got hurt.

That was the first call Gary received as the new sheriff. He was able to make enough noise and use a chair to scare the bear away after he got to the town square. It was one of the more memorable town fairs in Fairview's history.

Vocalic -ER Reading Paragraph

Favorite teacher.

My science teacher, Mr. Kerr, is my most favorite teacher in the world. Every class period we do the coolest experiments. We have made paper planes, studied what spiders eat for dinner, learned the molecular differences between dirt and butter, and looked at germs under a microscope.

At first, most of our class was nervous to do all of these crazy things, but after studying butter and dirt we were amazed at how cool science is. We told Mr. Kerr our concerns and he reassured us if we would give the experiments a chance, we wouldn't be sorry.

Mr. Kerr is dedicated too. Last year he hurt his shoulder playing basketball. He had to have surgery on it and I'm sure he was in a lot of pain. He didn't care though. He still came to school and taught our class how to make a liquid into a solid by stirring specific materials together. Then he had us climb a ladder and pour it off onto the floor.

He also likes to surprise our class with opportunities to learn. During November, we had a lesson about what has to happen to a turkey before we can eat it. The class thought it would be gross, and some of it was, but we learned a lot about the process. The girl next to me and I agree that we will miss Mr. Kerr's science class.

He had pictures of lots of weird things he had seen all along the way. During his travels he had bought souvenirs at every place he had visited. He had a two way mirror from Nepal, a special wheat cereal from Dubai, a small gladiator spear from Rome, and some pruning shears from Rio de Janeiro that never needed to be sharpened.

He had traveled for years and seen many beautiful places. At the end of his stories he would tell listeners that he only had one regret. Then he would say how he wished he wouldn't have done all of his traveling alone.

Then he would encourage his listeners to find someone special to share their experiences with. People would often cheer because they liked what they learned from him.

Vocalic -IRE Reading Paragraph

Vampire jeweler.

Megan was a vampire from Ireland. But she wasn't a typical vampire. She didn't hurt people or fight with anyone. She made sapphire jewelry. She used pliers, silver wire, and beautiful sapphires and other gems to make bracelets, rings, and earrings. Many people admired her work and she had buyers from all over the world who bought her jewelry.

Since vampires don't sleep and don't get tired, Megan had lots of time to make the jewelry. She would sit by a campfire, listen to her favorite choir, and make jewelry all night long.

One day when she was in town getting groceries, she saw a flyer posted in the store. The flyer stated that a person in her town had a fire in their bedroom and all of their belongings had been burned. It also said they had lost all of their jewelry in the fire and they wanted to hire someone to make them new jewelry.

Megan called the number on the flyer. She told the woman on the other end that she wanted to help her replace the jewelry she lost. The woman was grateful and hired Megan right over the phone.

Megan went to work making many new pieces of sapphire jewelry for the woman. Four days later, Megan visited the woman to show her all of the new jewelry.

A fireman had been to visit the woman to talk about how the fire had been started in her bedroom. The fireman told the woman that she was very lucky that the fire had not caught the rest of the house on fire. Megan went in and sat down on the woman's couch to show her the jewelry. The woman was very happy with the jewelry Megan made for her.

"Clean the jewelry one time each month, don't wear them for more than eight days without taking them off, and never put them in the dryer. That would melt the wire," said Megan, giving the woman instructions. The woman agreed, thanked Megan for her hard work, and Megan went home to finish making more jewelry.

Vocalic -OR Reading Paragraph

Storm chasing.

Jordan has a cool but dangerous job. He is a storm chaser. He never gets bored. A few times per month, he and his four person crew jump in their cars and chase tornadoes. Jordan wasn't always interested in storms though, he has an interesting story about why he became a storm chaser.

He grew up farming corn with his mom and dad. He rode horses, played sports, and was a typical kid. When he was 17 years old, a tornado touched down in the city he lived in. It traveled four miles south of town and wiped out his family's farm.

Jordan and his family hid in their storm cellar and were not hurt from the tornado, but the tornado destroyed everything his family had. His family was poor for a few years following the tornado while he and his family looked for ways to earn money. Jordan made doors, worked at the grocery store, and even sold popcorn to make money to pay for food.

It was a hard time for Jordan and his family. As a result, Jordan decided to go to college to become a meteorologist. He studied weather and weather patterns. He wanted to learn how tornadoes moved so that he could warn people when they were coming.

About one year ago, all of his hard work paid off when he received funding for his research. Many storm chasers don't make much money, but Jordan didn't care about that. He had lived without a lot of money. Jordan wanted to help people. He was excited about how the money he received would help gather enough information to help more people in the future.

You’ll also find some great ideas for making r therapy more effective with a variety of engaging games, articulation worksheets, and speech therapy activities.

Correct Production of R

There are different ways to make the R sound! These different approaches vary in tongue placement and positioning. The most common approaches are known as the bunched r and the retroflex r. The bunched r literally involves the tongue bunching and lifting up and back towards the throat. The sides of the tongue make contact with the upper posterior molars. The retroflexed tongue position involves a more flattened tongue, with the tip of the tongue pointed up towards the alveolar ridge. Read more about bunched r vs retroflex r here , plus check out some tips to teach either method!

Young children often have difficulty producing the R sound. McLeod and Crowe published this article , which reported that nearly all speech sounds are developed by age 6. A child’s speech intelligibility can be impacted by difficulty with R sound production.

r words speech therapy word lists for articulation

Common R Speech Sound Errors

R is often thought of as one of the most challenging sounds to learn! Here are some common R speech sound errors:

  • Oftentimes in younger children, the w sound is substituted for the R sound. An example might be “wabbit” for “rabbit”. This is known as the phonological process of gliding. Minimal pairs might be useful in this situation.
  • Occasionally, students might substitute l for r (for example, “light” for “right”).
  • R might also be substituted by a “y” sound (an example would be “ram” vs “yam”).
  • Other R speech sounds might lose their “R” quality and sound more like a vowel sound. “ER” might be placed by a neutral schwa, for example.

A licensed speech-language pathologist can listen carefully to distinguish which r sound errors a student might be making.

References: Bauman-Waengler, J.A.  Articulatory and Phonological Impairments: A Clinical Focus . Third ed., Pearson Education Limited, 2013. 

How To Teach the R Sound in Speech Therapy

For children who substitute w/r, minimal pairs are often very beneficial. A rounded lip shape may also be contributing to this substitution, so providing cues and reminders to keep the lips retracted while saying R in the initial position of words can be helpful. Try having the student look in a mirror while practicing this sound. Providing accurate feedback is also important.

Older students with articulation disorders often struggle with the production of vocalic r words. School slps may wish to read this article for a deep dive into elicitation techniques for vocalic r. It includes 5 effective tips for teaching the vocalic r sounds. One simple idea is to try using a tongue depressor to gently lift the tongue up and back while smiling and saying “ER”. The teeth should be slightly apart, and the smile should be held during production. This can assist with eliciting vocalic er using a bunched R tongue positioning.

Watch this youtube video to see examples of how to teach R .

R Word Lists for Articulation Therapy

Do you need a list of functional words to work on the R sound in your speech therapy session? R can occur in many different positions of a word, and specific r words may be targeted in speech therapy sessions. The following word lists contain words with r in the beginning of a word (initial R), vocalic R words (initial, medial, and final positions of words), and initial R consonant blends. These R articulation word lists allow the speech therapist to easily work on a target sound and speech goals in speech therapy at the word level. Or, have your student practice at the sentence level or conversation level by using targeted words in sentences. Quickly pull these word lists up during your speech therapy session and pair them with the  game  or activity of your choice. These word lists provide less complex syllable shapes to more complex multisyllabic words.

Comprehensive R Program for Vocalic R

If you need a systematic program that’s going to ensure great success for your R students, you’ll want to check out this R program . For students having a difficult time achieving success using a traditional articulation method, it’s beneficial to try a whole new game plan. This program is based on the extensive research of Sandra Holtzman, and is based on her R CEU course , with permission. It incorporates orofacial myology basics, which is often the piece that many failed approaches have been missing.

Jessica G., SLP, reviewed, “I’m so grateful for this resource !!!! Targeting “r” was like my worst nightmare and when students weren’t making progress I felt so discouraged and did not know what else I could do to improve accuracy. Thanks to Karen and this amazing resource, I actually get excited to treat “r” now. The approach used actually works and my students finally seem to understand tongue positioning better (and maybe I do too!). This is definitely worth buying! Thank you!”

Vocalic R Playing Card Game Companion

Do you need to review vocalic r in different word positions? Check out this card game companion , which pairs with a popular color-coded card game.

It’s fast, easy, and motivating!   Please note: The Pedi Speechie is in no way associated with the well-known card game, which is trademarked.

  • Playdough Articulation Manicure Activity

The trick to making articulation drill fun? Try doing a speech manicure ! This articulation activity, which includes r articulation and vocalic r articulation targets, will become an instant hit in your speech therapy room. It’s ideal for younger and older students because picture-supported cards and text-only cards are provided. It’s simple to use. The speech-language pathologist chooses the target sound, and the student chooses the play dough color (in other words, the “nail polish” color). After saying a target word, the student places play dough onto the “nail”, and continues to repeat the process until the manicure is complete!

P.S. Don’t have any play dough on hand? You could also try pairing this activity with a magnetic wand and chips .

Mixed Group R and R Blends Worksheets

Trying to target language AND articulation goals in a mixed group? Let’s face it, sometimes the day can get chaotic! This mixed groups resource is designed to help maintain a school SLP’s sanity during a busy day. How does it work, exactly? Articulation words are sorted by noun or verb. While one student works on articulation, another student can work on language goals- using the same target words.

Use the noun articulation pictures to work on goals such as describing, following directions, spatial concepts, and making inferences. Use the verb articulation pictures to work on goals such as verb tense and creating sentences. These activity sheets are no prep and low ink, so you truly can use these while on-the-go. Just print them out and hand one out to each student.

r articulation worksheets for speech therapy

These mixed group worksheets are also available as a bundle . The bundle includes other articulation targets, including k and g, sh, ch, j, l and l blends, and s and s blends. Lou Ann M., SLP, reviewed, “This resource was easy to use. No prep! Worked well for mixed groups. Able to target multiple goals. Definitely will be using this over and over!”

Top 90 List of Er Words to Improve Your Vocabulary

Here is our top list of er words you can add to your writing. Read our guide.

Words containing “er” are common in writing and verbal communication. It’s also one of English’s most pervasive digraphs (a pair of letters creating a sound). Familiarizing yourself with these words is necessary to understand how they’re applied in formal and informal speech and writing.

What Are Er Words?

Words with er in the initial position, words with er in the medial position, words with er in the final position, words with er: adjectives, common er words.

List of Er Words

The pair “er” is a vowel digraph, where two letters make one sound or phoneme. Some refer to it as the “r-controlled vowel” or vowels followed by the letter “r,” also known as  murmur diphthongs . 

Sometimes words are spelled with “er” but sound /ur/. For instance, “her” and “person.” There are also words spelled as “ir,” “ear,” and “ur” but have the /er/ sound. Because these can confuse learners, we prepared a list to help you get accustomed to these “er” words.

R Sound Speech Therapy {Word Search}

If your caseload is anything like mine when I was working as a speech therapist in the elementary school setting I would say about 50% of my caseload was working on articulation. About 25% of those students were working on the r sound and r blends. That was a huge part of my caseload! I frequently got bored and tired of playing the same Go Fish game. That’s why today I’m bringing to you different r sound speech therapy activities and articulation therapy techniques to try.

Correct Sound Production

In the English language, the r sound is one of the most difficult sounds as well as one of the last sounds to develop. There are two different ways a Speech Language Pathologist can teach tongue placement for r remediation. 

First, let’s review the two different variations for tongue movements for producing the correct r sound:

  • Retroflexed R

The two different tongue positions are very similar and vary in mid-tongue and tongue tip placements:

  • Teeth: The /r/ sound is made by having a slight gap between the teeth.
  • Lips: Lips should be in a neutral position and not rounded. (A rounded lip shape might lead to a w sound in place of an /r/ sound, such as “wed” for the word “red”.
  • Sides of the Tongue: Be sure to place the sides of the tongue and back of the tongue against the upper side of your teeth to allow for the passage of air to go down the center of the tongue.
  • Retroflexed Tongue Position: Have the mid-tongue somewhat tense but not bunched up. Then place the tip of the tongue pointing up to the roof of their mouth just past the alveolar ridge.
  • Bunched Tongue Position: Have the mid-tongue bunched up near the roof of the mouth. Then place the tip of the tongue pointing down or straight.
  • Air: Then blow a skinny stream of air over the center of your tongue (you do not want the air to come out the sides of the tongue).
  • Voice: The next step is that the r sound is also a voiced sound so your voice box or vocal cords should vibrate. You can tell that their voice is turned on by touching your voice box on your neck and feeling it vibrate (the upper part of the throat).

Hardest Sounds

Please keep in mind that the r sound is a later developing sound and one of the hardest aspects is teaching the complexity of speech movements. 

Teaching the right way to place the child’s tongue can be difficult and give you a hard time. 

That’s why it’s important to work closely with a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist to give you professional help when working with your child to find the right position for their tongue and to produce a great sounding r sound.

R Speech Sounds

  • Prevocalic R – is when the r sound comes before a vowel sound, such as an initial r word “red”. 
  • Vocalic R  Sound – is when the r sound comes after a vowel sound, such as: or, ar, er, ear, ire, air.

Target Word Lists

Here’s an r word list for you to use in your practice sessions or at home practice to work on your student or child’s speech.

medial-r-word-search

Word Positions of R Words

Initial position of words.

The initial r sound is at the beginning of the word. For example, the r sound at the beginning of a word would be “rock” or “race”.

Medial Position of Words

Some words have the r sound in the medial position of a word, such as “scared”, “tired”, and “fork”.

Final Positions of Words

The final word position is when the target sound is at the end of a word. For example, “tiger” or “star”.

Co-articulation and Vocalic “Er”

By Pam Marshalla

Q: My client can say “Er” in words like “flower” when we split the syllables apart: “Flow—er.” But he cannot say it in words like “Bird” or “Shirt.” What can we do?

You will notice that you have split “flower” in to syllables like this: “Flow—-Er.”

This means that although your client can say “Er,” he cannot sequence from the C to “Er.”  We don’t say, “Flow—er.”  We say, “Flah—wer.” The /r/ occurs in a CVC, and this requires better sequencing and overlapping movement.

Co-articulation

This is the essence of co-articulation (McDonald, 1964). You are teaching him to make what McDonald called “overlapping ballistic movements”–– “Articulation is a process consisting of a series of overlapping, ballistic movements” (McDonald, 1964, p. 87).

Your client can’t say “Bird” or “Shirt” because he cannot overlap the movements of the consonants and “Er.”  His problem is not on “Er.”  His problem is in the overlapping nature of the position required for “Er” and the positions required of the consonants adjacent to it.   Are you following this?  That means that you are no longer working on “Er.”  He has “Er.”  You need to work on the overlapping elements of the phoneme sequences.

The easiest way to work on this is do the following.  Let’s use “fer” and “per” as examples––

Have your client prolong “Errrrrrrr.”

As he prolongs “Errrrrr,” have him insert /f/ or /p/ in-between. He will say: “Errrrr-f-errrrrrr-f-errrrrr-f-errrrrr……” or “Errrrrr-p-errrrrr-p-errrrrr-p.”

Move on to other consonants.

In other words, have him put his tongue in position for “Er” and say “Er.”  While he continues to hold the tongue in position for “Er” (prolong “Er”), he will say /f/. You are teaching him to say /f/ and “er” at the same time.

ER Words: 1600+ Words with ER in English

Are you searching for a list of words with er? Learning new vocabulary is an exciting part of learning a new language. It can also be one of the most challenging parts. English has a large vocabulary with many words that have multiple meanings. This can make it difficult to know which meaning of a word to use when you are speaking or writing.

What Are Er Words?

Er words are words that contain the ‘er’ sound. For example, the word ‘better’ is pronounced like ‘bett-er.’ The ‘er’ sound is made by vibrating your vocal cords and pushing air out of your mouth.
