App Description
R Intensive was developed as a result of "intensive" requests made by speech-language pathologists. Smarty Ears is aware of the high incidence of students seen for difficulties with the /r/ phoneme, and we have created the ultimate tool to address it.
Fully redesigned with a breathtaking new user interface, R Intensive is the most engaging, comprehensive, and user-friendly go-to application for children practicing the production of the English /r/ at the word, phrase, and sentence levels.
R Intensive contains 3 exciting, highly interactive activities:
Flashcards: Allows focused practice of the /r/ sound at the word, phrase, and sentence levels. Multiplayer mode seamlessly supports 1 to 4 players, tracking individual targets and rewards for each student as you swipe.
Matching Game: Beautifully designed 4x5 grids of premium game cards make working on your target /r/ a skill of memory and articulation. Supports 1 to 4 players per game.
Guess What Game: Students will have fun guessing which /r/ word is being described while practicing their articulation. If the description clue is ever too difficult, simply tap the card to reveal the hidden answer. Supports 1 to 4 players.
R Intensive uses a phonetic approach to teaching the "r" sound by creating targeted subgroups that will make your students more successful in therapy. We have divided the /r/ phoneme at the word level as follows:
Pre-Vocalic /r/
Clusters
ar
air
ear
er
ire
or
rl
R Intensive is the most comprehensive tool on the market that allows you to not only practice the production of the /r/ phoneme but also accurately tally the percentage of accuracy directly on your iPad or iPhone.
