/R/ Articulation Carryover Games – A Practical Resource for Real-Life Speech
Supporting /r/ articulation doesn’t stop at the therapy table - carryover is where real progress happens.
This /r/ articulation carryover games booklet is designed to help children practise their /r/ sound in meaningful, natural conversations, so skills transfer into everyday speech.
Created by a South African Paediatric Speech-Language Therapist, this resource offers three ready-to-use, low-prep games that balance structured practice with genuine interaction. The activities are engaging, flexible, and easy to adapt across ages, therapy settings, and learning profiles.
