Step Up to R-E-Book

Ages: 6-17
Grades: 1-12

This vibrant program for the remediation of /r/, /r/ blends, and vocalic /r/ gets results with motivating, systematic lessons; easy measures of progress; hefty amounts of practice materials; and time-saving assessment tools.

The programmed approach combines the best features from the Modified Cycles Approach (Hodson & Paden, 1990), the Sensory Motor Approach (McDonald, 1964), and Motor Learning Theory (Skelton, 2004) to help students master all the variants of /r/ and vocalic /r/ production. Use it for pull out sessions and to meet the needs of groups with varying levels of competency.

The program includes:

• Four assessment tools for initial /r/, initial /r/ blends, vocalic /r/ at word level, and a reading assessment
• step-by-step instructions and prompts
• illustrated elicitation techniques
• full-color picture grids
• color-coded reading materials
• sample long- and short-term goals
• how to address weak or incorrect articulation attempts
• take-home carryover sheets
• easy-to-use scoring tools and sound inventory sheets
• award certificates
• generalization activities

The lessons address every level of remediation:

• discrimination
• establishment
• word level
• sentence completion
• sentence reading and sentence imitation
• sentence production using carrier phrases
• elicited phrases/sentences
• carryover and generalization activities

Every lesson uses these evidence-based learning methods:

• consistent self-monitoring and self-evaluation
• early mastery of high frequency and high density words
• support fades as the task complexity increases
• anchor words to recalibrate correct productions
• skills broken down into achievable steps
• parental involvement using motivational home practice sheets
