Hi boys and girls. Below are some target words and sentences that you can practice during the week. Remember to retract your lips (smile), place a small space between your upper and lower front teeth, and bring the back of your tongue up and back (like the long /e/ sound) to get your mouth ready for the /r/ production. Let me know if you have any questions.
