Marcel is motivated to improve his sounds. To keep it fun and motivating, we've been using text from books he is reading or song lyrics from entertaining songs. Using song lyrics, Marcel was able to slow his pace of speech, pause to get his tongue in position for all R sounds in all positions with 50% accuracy. That is actually a huge accomplishment for being new to speech therapy. He has great self awareness and is already self correcting when he does not produce a strong R. Marcel has created a list of challenging words and asked that we prioritize that list rather than breaking our practice into focussed sounds. He is responding well to this approach. For motivation, videos of the poet Amanda Gorman were shared of her two years ago (while still in speech therapy) to present day when she performed at the presidential inauguration.
