Struggling to help your child or student pronounce the R sound? You're not alone. The R sound is one of the most difficult and persistent speech sounds to master in the English language—and it’s also one of the most frequently used. Whether you’re a parent trying to support your child at home or a speech-language professional looking for a powerful, proven method, the Home Run Speech™ – R Program is your game-changing solution.
Why Is the R Sound So Hard to Fix?
R is unlike any other sound in the English language. It requires a unique combination of:
Tongue tension and lift
Lip rounding
Motor coordination
Muscle endurance
And... a whole lot of patience!
The R sound doesn’t follow the rules of most other consonants. It’s a shapeshifter, showing up at the beginning, middle, and end of words, and blending with other sounds in seemingly unpredictable ways. To top it off, most kids develop deeply ingrained speech habits that make "almost-Rs" sound close—but not correct.
That’s Where My Home Run Speech™ R Program Steps In.
Created by Peggy Steiniger (me!), a seasoned Speech-Language Pathologist with over 40 years of experience, this program is the result of decades spent helping kids, teens, and even adults finally get their R right.
Peggy’s method is grounded in science, proven in practice, and designed to do one thing: Turn R confusion into R confidence.
