R / W Tongue Twisters

r w tongue twisters

Introduction

When learning the ‘R’ sound, it is common for some to accidentally make the ‘W’ sound instead. If you’re not careful then you can end up sounding like Elmer Fudd! Before you start, here is a more in-depth guide for making the ‘R’ sound. These r and w tongue twisters are designed to increase flexibility when going between the ‘R’ & ‘W’ sounds and help build the distinction between the two. Make sure when making the ‘R’ sound that you pull your tongue back otherwise it might sound like a ‘W’. Start slow and gradually speed up as you become more confident!
