In our speech therapy sessions, we like to choose books that help our students work toward their language goals. So we’re continuing our “favorites” series with another round of picture books that helps with a popular articulation problem. With a lot of kids struggling with the R sound or R-blend words, we’ve compiled our favorite R picture books to share with you all!
For each of the R picture books we chose, we include a brief summary, its targeted audience, literacy skills to practice with your students, and the many benefits it offers your students. Along with working on a student’s goals, all the R picture books we share have high-frequency words throughout the story to ensure that your students have multiple opportunities to practice these word sounds. Make sure to check out our list for an academic and engaging reading during your literacy-based speech therapy sessions!
Topics Discussed:
- A list of fun and engaging R picture books that help your students
- A brief summary, literacy skills, and relatable concepts to discuss during your sessions
- Tips and activities to engage your students with
- A bonus literacy text to use with your students that most people forget about
