How to make that hard /r/ sound... [SUGGESTIONS FOR HOME PRACTICE]

 I just found a post that has some great ideas for practicing the /r/ sound at home.  North Shore Pediatric Therapy has some great suggestions for producing the /r/, including using animal sounds, shaping /r/ from other sounds, and eliminating the /w/.  Here's where you can find the post:  https://www.nspt4kids.com/speech-and-language/tackling-trouble-with-r-exercises-to-practice-%E2%80%9Cr%E2%80%9D-pronunciation-with-your-child/.  Also, https://www.superduperinc.com/handouts/pdf/102_RforParents.pdf also has some great ideas.

An amazing author... remembering!

  Like so many, I was saddened to hear about Eric Carle's passing last week. Here's just one of many links that talks about tieing "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" into a speech/language session. What are some of your favorite Eric Carle speech/language tie-ins? https://thedabblingspeechie.com/2018/07/the-very-hungry-caterpillar-in-speech-therapy/
