Summary: Excellent book, my four year old son can say the R correctly
Review: As a former teacher and stay home mom, I fully know that many speech difficulties are outgrown with time. My son was very verbal at an early age, but had great difficulty with the R and L sounds (he replaced them with a W, saying Sawa instead of Sara or Wove instead of Love). After he turned four I decided to buy the R book.We did a few of the lessons (no pressure) and I was pretty skeptical that it would even work. I must admit we didn't even complete the book, and since my son is pretty little we were more flexible than the written lesson, I just tried to make it fun. That's why I was so surprised with the change. The tongue placement exercise changed his world. We were watching the Christmas movie with Rudolph and Herbie the elf. We had done a few lessons (without any real signs of change) and during the movie he said HerrrRbie (instead of Hewbie). I couldn't believe it! Over the course of 3 months his R became stronger, we reminded him about 'making a muscle' with his tongue when he would attempt to say a word with an R. He is now able to say the R no matter where it is in the word, beginning/middle/end (That came in stages...middle came first).
Just as I was about to buy the L book he really seemed to gain so much control over his tongue. He seemed to think about where he had to put it to mimmick sounds. He is pronouncing his L correctly and I feel that is largely due to the control he gained with our R lessons. Thank you for saving us loads of time and money. I can't say enough thank you's to the author.

Summary: Excellent book, noy only for children.
Review: My husband could not pronounce the letter R, as a child and teenager. This was almost resolved with many differrent speech therapists' input and his personal efforts. Nevertheless, a slight imperfection remained, which caused significant anxiety. I helped him to correct his R with the help from this book and the results are absolutely perfect. He can even pronounce the double spanish RR, without any problems. He is now a transformed person, in terms of self esteem. I would like to emphasize the following:
1. Although the book is simple and suitable for children, it is perfectly suitable for adults as well.
2. It is imperative that the "teacher" is as motivated as the "student", and specific time is set aside for the lessons.
3. The first chapters (production of the sound R) are crucial and very well written. Please don't do them in a hurry and pay attention to details.
4. I wish we had discovered this book earlier!

Summary: Thank you for bringing this book into the world.
Review: My son couldn't pronounce his r's, they sounded like w's. Looking on the internet one evening, I came across this book. I ordered it right away. We worked together daily, using the excellent program in the book. His progress was excellent. The book was well planned, each step important, and it was also enjoyable for my son. He loved looking at the pictures and proving he could make the "r" sound. Thank you for bringing this book into the world. ...it changed my son's life.
