Repetition meets results with this powerful /ɹ/ articulation tool!

The Speech Corner Photo Cards for Prevocalic & Vocalic R are designed to deliver focused, high-intensity articulation practice in a way that’s realistic, age-appropriate, and—most importantly—effective. These cards are ideal for SLPs working with clients who need meaningful /ɹ/ practice across a variety of contexts.

Practice made practical—and powerful!
