Variations of the /R/ Sound
“R” is a very challenging sound. This has to do, in part, with the fact that there are so many different ways in which it can be pronounced. It all depends on the letters with which it’s combined.
There are actually 32 different /r/ allophones (sounds) and 21 different /r/ phonemes (collections of sounds).
Clearly, there’s a lot of room for error.
The good news, though, is that your child likely doesn’t have a problem pronouncing all of these different variations of the /r/ sound.
They might be fine with consonant blends (words like free or cream), but struggle with vocalic /r/ sounds (words like are or air).
Before you start using speech therapy exercises that will help them with their pronunciation, it’s important to do some diagnostic testing to figure out which /r/ variations are difficult for them.
You can test how your child pronounces the basic /r/ vocalizations by having them pronounce the following types of /r/ sounds:
/ar/
/air/
/ear/
/ire/
/or/
/er/
/rl/
the letter /r/ by itself
You can also schedule an evaluation with a speech therapist for a full assessment to figure out which sounds your child needs help with.

If you are the parent of a preschooler who’s looking to have a future school superstar with a happy and successful life ahead of them - this is for you 🤍
Most likely, you have already done some work to prepare your child for school on your own. Did you get the results you were hoping for?
Maybe your child still struggles with spelling and has difficulty reading.
Maybe your child is challenged by math and continues to find tasks easily mastered by other children of the same age extremely difficult.
The chances are good that you’ve been told your child is behind their peers in some area or another as you prepare for preschool.
How did this happen? Why do standard approaches and individual tuition in new technologies fail to produce results, even when you’re sure you did everything right?

As you know, classes with a speech therapist can be individual or in a group.
We at Bubulearn offer only individual classes, because it is more effective and convenient!
1. The whole lesson is built around your child – the lesson is designed according to their needs.
2. Class times are flexible making it is easier to fit classes into your schedule.
3. It is easier to establish a relationship between your child and the speech therapist.
4. Classes are more effective – you get high-quality results quickly.
Yes, individual classes are usually more expensive than group classes, but online lessons with a Bubulearn speech therapist cost the same as in person group lessons!
Individual online classes are just as effective as in person, and not only do you do it at a convenient time and in a convenient place, but you can also choose the speech therapist (from among our specialists) that best suits YOUR request and will appeal to YOUR child.
