Articulate R was created by an ASHA certified speech-language pathologist. It is intended for anyone who needs practice using the R sound, also known as rhotic, liquid phoneme /r/. The app is suitable for those who omit, distort or substitute other sounds for R. It is also helpful for children who vowelize the /r/ or use the phonological process of liquid gliding. Words have been chosen which give the user practice in R production in various phonetic contexts, including:

• initial /r/ 1 syllable • initial /r/ multisyllabic • inter-syllabic /r/ 2 syllables • inter-syllabic /r/ 3+ syllables • initial /br/ • initial /pr/ • initial /kr/ • initial /gr/ • initial /dr/ • initial /tr/ • initial /fr/ • vocalic /r/ (ar)
• vocalic /r/ (air) • vocalic /r/ (er) • vocalic /r/ (ear) • vocalic /r/ (ire)
• vocalic /r/ (or)
