This is the WOW Resource for /r/ you've always wanted!

The Entire World of R™ Book of Elicitation Techniques contains a wealth of tips, tricks and techniques to elicit and remediate the difficult /r/ phoneme.

Expands on the concepts of the popular The Entire World of R™ Instructional Workbook with more detailed therapy methods, /r/ probe word lists, and step-by-step instructions on how to elicit each sound (including oral movement exercises). A number of treatment methods such as co-articulation, whisper, using cognates, single versus multiple syllable, and using nonsense words are covered in-depth with clear, easy to follow examples.

Includes a sample copy only of the Advanced Screening for /r/ screening form (instructor copy*) which assesses all 21 vocalic /r/’s and 11 /r/ blends--32 different /r/'s!

The Advanced Screening greatly simplifies the task of selecting intervention targets and tracking /r/ progress through empirical data collection and analysis. This method, research tested and evidence based, provides you with exact detail to determine your students’ present levels of performance. Each of 21 vocalic /r/’s and 11 /r/ blends are screening by word position and by single word, phrase and sentence contexts for exceptionally precise evaluations. 

Also included is the instructor copy(sample only)* of the extremely targeted Elicitation Probe, which assesses /r/ production ability with all contexts of /r/ with all English phonemes. This tells you precisely which consonantal/vowel /r/ combinations a student can and cannot say. This is the most definitive assessment for /r/ available.
