Letter R Games for Preschoolers

Let's begin with some simple R words: cry, park, ring, ram, red. Can you notice a pattern in the R Sound? No, because the R sound does not have any pattern. R is a unique letter in itself because the sound of R changes every time. The vowel in the word controls the sound of R. It changes with every vowel and word.

Ringing in Letter R Games for Preschoolers

R is one of the third most frequently used words in the English alphabet. Only N and I are used more than R, so it is imperative for kids to practice the R sound. Most preschoolers cannot say the R sound clearly, but no worries - give them some time. Rather than correcting your child every time, why not say yes you are correct and let it rest for some time. Usually, kids within the 5-7 age group are able to say the R sound clearly.

R is slightly tricky to write as well. R involves a small curve and then a slanting line and another vertical line to support both of these. Make sure to have some rounds of practice while writing the uppercase R. Even the lowercase and uppercase R is quite different. SplashLearn's online uppercase and lowercase games can prove to be helpful in quick identification and memory retention.

Take It Slow with Letter R Games for Preschoolers

Hearing your little ones speak is one of the greatest gifts of life. And when they begin with their first steps of learning, then there is nothing like that.

But it is equally important to be patient. Taking it slow yet steady will help save frustration on both sides.

One of the most important things that many parents ignore is not to point at a child's mistake every time. They will feel discouraged and frustrated. Make it a point to laugh at their mistakes along with them. Take the errors lightly and teach them that they are just one step away from perfection.

For the preschool grade, fun is one of the most important things. So, when you teach them with fun in their learning, the entire process will be a complete joyride. Reward the child every time they say a correct R-word. Rewards will keep them boosted and interested at the same time.
