Ricky Really Can't Draw Stephanie Westendorf

Ricky really wants to draw like Rita. When the Yearly Art Show takes place at their school, Ricky sees his chance to impress Rita; but, it doesn't quite work out as expected. The story, written by a speech-language pathologist, provides a fun way for kids to practice the tricky "r" sound. It includes a variety of pre and post-vocalic /r/ sounds, as well as /r/ blends, across word positions perfect for a speech therapy session, the classroom, or just for fun. Includes a data collection sheet for speech pathologists to track /r/ progress.
