Minimal Pair R-W pictures

These worksheets are to help your child identify and produce
their target sounds correctly.
 
The goal of these worksheets is to help them realize that
changing or leaving out a sound gives the word a completely
different meaning.
 
There are many vocabulary words that your child might not
know. It would be good to explain the meaning of the words
before doing the exercises.
 
First, read all the words as pairs. Then say a word
and have them point to the picture that matches the word. This
is to see if they can hear the difference between their Target
sound and other sounds.
 
Next, have them say a word from the same page and have you
point at the picture. If they say you did not point to the correct
one they were trying to say, help them practice the word
correctly.
 
I call “R” the fire engine sound: Air, Ear, Ire, Ore, Are, Er,
You’re. And have students practice R in syllables (as a warm-
up) before working on them in words. This also works with
initial R: Ray, Ree, Rye, Row, Roo.
