R Cluster Help Sheets for Speech Therapy

Description

Are you struggling to teach /ɹ/ clusters? Do you find that your student continues to delete either the first or second part of their cluster and you’re stuck with cues that can help?! If you have tried all the tricks you know, perhaps you just need a fresh strategy that SLPs all over the world have found useful.

The ‘R’ Clusters Help Sheets resource uses different multisensory cues that break down how to say /ɹ/ clusters using metaphors, visual cues, forward and backward chaining to help students be successful using consonant clusters.

DOWNLOAD THIS RESOURCE IF YOU WANT:
➊–Cues to break down a complex word (/ɹ/ cluster) into smaller, manageable parts.
❷–To try different types of cues, and nothing has helped “click”.
❸–Additional cues while using the complexity approach, minimal pairs, or cycles approach, to teach the cluster.
❹–To support students with motor planning challenges (e.g., CAS) that require specific cueing, coarticulation, and support to sequence clusters.

THREE DIFFERENT MATERIALS FOR EACH /I/ CLUSTER:
1. Forward chaining (e.g., t-rain, train)
2. Backward chaining (e.g., rain, rain, rain, train)
3. Flashcards with visual cues on the top of the card

MULTISENSORY CUEING:
We know that children learn differently, and these ‘L’ Clusters Help Sheets give you multiple options for teaching /ɹ/ clusters. Teach your child that they have to use their /b/ sound when they see the bouncing ball visual or a /f/ sound when they see a bunny teeth picture. You might like to tap or trace with your finger to reinforce the continual airflow and need to join the first sound to the rest of the word. This helps the child break down the word into smaller, manageable speech units to help the child to “hear” the individual sounds or syllables of the /ɹ/ cluster word.
