Summer R Sound Intensive in Murrieta, CA: Helping Your Child with the /R/ Sound

If your child is struggling with the /r/ sound, you’re not alone. The /r/ sound is one of the most challenging sounds for children to learn and often requires targeted, consistent practice with a speech-language pathologist.

At Virtual Speech Solutions, we are excited to offer a Summer R Sound Intensive Program in Murrieta, CA, designed to help children make faster progress in a supportive, small group setting.

Why Is the R Sound So Difficult?

The /r/ sound is unique because it requires precise tongue placement and coordination. Unlike other sounds, there are multiple ways to produce /r/, and children often need individualized support to find what works best for them.

Many children:

• Substitute /r/ with sounds like “w” (ex: “wabbit” for “rabbit”)

• Struggle with vocalic /r/ (ar, er, ir, or, ur)

• Have difficulty carrying over correct production into conversation

Without focused intervention, these patterns can persist as children get older.

What Is the Summer R Sound Intensive?

Our 4-week summer speech therapy program in Murrieta is designed to provide consistent, high-quality practice to help children improve their /r/ sound more efficiently.

Program Details:

• 4-week program (beginning in June)

• 2 sessions per week

• 60-minute sessions

• Small group setting (3–5 children)

• $45 per session

This format allows for increased repetition, structured learning, and meaningful progress in a short period of time.

What Will Your Child Learn?

During the program, children will work on:

• Correct tongue placement for /r/

• Vocalic /r/ sounds (ar, er, ir, or, ur)

• R blends (br, tr, gr, etc.)

• Practicing /r/ in words, sentences, and conversation

• Building self-awareness and self-correction skills

Each session is led by a licensed speech-language pathologist and includes engaging, play-based activities to keep children motivated.

Who Is This Program For?

This program is ideal for:

• Children ages 5 and up

• Children currently receiving speech therapy who need more intensive support

• Children who have been working on /r/ but are not generalizing skills

• Children who are close to mastering /r/ but need consistency

If your child gets frustrated being asked to repeat themselves or avoids certain words, this program can help build both skill and confidence.

Why Choose a Summer Intensive?

A summer intensive allows your child to:

• Make faster progress

• Build momentum without long gaps between sessions

• Improve carryover into everyday speech

• Start the new school year with increased confidence
