Confident R Sound Production Starts Here

The Bjorem Speech R Sound Cues – Second Edition, created in collaboration with Rock the R®, offers a playful, research-informed approach to one of the most challenging speech sounds: /ɹ/. This updated deck is thoughtfully designed to help children reframe and produce R with confidence using colorful, kid-approved visuals and intuitive auditory associations.

This edition includes:

• Prevocalic R

• Vocalic R – with two unique cues per vowelized R

• R Clusters

• Bjorem Speech® Sound Cues (vowels) to support coarticulation and generalization

With 30+ visual-auditory cue cards and inclusive illustrations, this deck empowers children to “see the sound” and retrain the brain through a fresh, functional lens. These cues aren’t just helpful—they’re memorable, engaging, and FUNctional.

Why It Works:

• Cognitive Reframing: Turns tricky R sounds into new sounds to bypass old patterns

• Multi-Context Coverage: Support for initial, medial, final, and cluster positions

• Visual & Auditory Harmony: Cues build meaningful connections for consistent carryover

Ideal For:

• Children beginning or struggling with /ɹ/

• Speech Sound Disorders and CAS

• R generalization and sound differentiation

• Play-based, literacy-linked, or structured drill therapy

What’s Included:

• Over 30 high-quality, matte-finish cue cards (no glare!)
