Boost Your Child’s “R” Sound Success with This Free Speech Therapy Game: Minute to Win It!

If your child has been working hard on mastering the R sound in speech therapy—but those clear, confident “R”s still disappear in casual conversation—you’re not alone.

For many kids, correctly pronouncing tricky sounds like R during structured practice is just the beginning. The real challenge? Getting those correct sounds to stick in everyday life.

That’s where “automaticity” comes in—and Peggy’s Minute to Win It R Challenge is here to help.

🎯 What Is Automaticity in Speech?

Automaticity is the ability to say speech sounds correctly without having to stop, think, or overanalyze each word. It’s when clear speech becomes second nature—whether your child is telling a story, laughing with friends, or reading aloud.

Without automaticity, kids often regress in fast-paced or exciting conversations, even if they’ve nailed the sounds in therapy. I’ve created a FREE worksheet and activity to practice automaticity at home for parents, SLPs, and assistant SLPs, the Minute to Win It R Challenge.

🚀 From Practice to Progress: Why This Free “R” Sound Challenge Works

This at-home speech therapy game helps bridge the gap between structured speech and spontaneous use. It supports carryover—so the R sound sticks when it matters most.

⏱️ How the Minute to Win it "R" Sound Activity Works

• Start the Timer: Set a timer for one minute.

• Choose a Word List: Select from R-initial, R-medial, or R-final word charts.

• Race the Clock: Your child repeats the list of words—again and again—until the timer stops.

• Track Success: Count how many words they said correctly. The goal? 100 in a minute!

Each round boosts confidence, muscle memory, and automaticity—without overwhelming your child.
