Introduction to the World of ‘R’

The letter R is essential in the English language. It has its own distinct sound and has the power to change the way vowels sound too! The letter ‘R’ in the alphabet is important because so many English words rely on its presence for meaning and sound!

Helping your child familiarize themselves with the letter ‘R’ with Splashlearn’s letter R games for kindergarteners will help them learn its sounds playfully and easily.

Fun Ways to Make Friends With R

The letter ‘R’ can have a nice rolling sound when it appears in words like ‘rich’ and ‘rat.’ Sometimes ‘R’ hides itself and tricks the vowels into becoming long sounds. Look at the word ‘cart.’ You can’t hear the ‘R’ sound, but check out how the ‘a’ just got so long!

You can learn ‘R’ with some fantastic games that can make learning and reading super fun! Make sure you try all of these:

The ‘R’ Search: Learning the letter is step 1. Simple online games can help you spot the letters - both capital and small - and sort them out from among the rest.
Sound the ‘R’: It is important to understand the sound of ‘R’ and how it combines with vowels to make words. Begin with simple games that make you identify the ‘R’ in a word and sound it out as well.
The R-Word: It is essential to combine sight and sound. Show your child words with ‘R’ and help them build the sounds to form the word. You can try this out with pictures too!

Making the R Work for You

As we said before, the letter R sounds different at the beginning of words when found after vowels and combined with other consonants. It is crucial, therefore, that your child begins with the basics and builds their concepts upwards:

Begin with letter recognition. This is when your child learns to identify the letter ‘R’ in capital and lowercase when jumbled with other letters or when found in words.
It is useful to keep repeating the ‘R’ sound each time you practice the letter with SplashLearn. This will help clarify the sound concerning the letter.
Help your child build a solid letter-word relationship. This can be done using pictures and sounds. The stronger the relationship formed, the faster your child can begin their reading journey.
For kids who learn quickly and grasp well, you can go a step further and show them simple words to help them read out the sounds and try to find letter-sound patterns in them.

Enabling Your Kindergartner With the Letter ‘R’

Letter learning may be the basis for all reading and comprehension, but it is perhaps the one stage that takes the longest time. Learning letter names and sounds with complete clarity and accuracy requires practice and active engagement. To let the kids turn into good readers, ensure that you:

Take it slow, and modify the pace of learning to your child’s grasping pace and not their grade levels.
Mix up the medium – ensure you cover visual imagery, auditory sounds, and allow plenty of movement using games
Revisit concepts frequently to build active recall
