Description: This spring-themed, no-prep R coarticulation activity is the perfect tool to help students develop vocalic R after they have already established prevocalic / initial R. With these webs, you will use coarticulation to build on a child's strengths with prevocalic R / initial R, and use this to produce vocalic R. Full instructions are included in the product, but the general idea is to have them say a vocalic R word, immediately followed by a prevocalic R word, then to slowly fade out the production of the prevocalic R. I find this technique to be very effective and am typically able to fade out the facilitating word very quickly. This set of webs includes two slides for each vocalic R sound (ar, or, er, ire, ear, air) for a total of 12 words for each sound.
