Here's a great book for a reader who is working on his/her /r/ at the sentence level. The /r/ occurs in all positions of words, but especially in the initial position - great alliteration!

Articulation /p/
I read this book today:
Princess Prunella and the Purple Peanut by Margaret Atwood
The book is full of wonderful /p/ alliteration! The story is about a pretty pill of a princess who has to do three positive deeds before the purple peanut on her otherwise perfect nose disappears. The /p/ is targeted mainly in the initial position of words, but is also very prevalent in the medial and final positions.
More Ideas
Language
There are many vocabulary words that can be targeted
parsley
porridge
paprika
peonies
etc
Social
The clinician can talk about the princess's behavior, the feelings of others toward the princess, and how the princess' change in attitudes and actions help her become more likable.

New Speech and Language Therapy Blog
I'm about to start my CFY/California RP Experience. I've decided use this blog as a place to write down therapy ideas I've collected and will collect through this experience. Hopefully someone else will find this information helpful as well!
I graduated over three years ago with my master's in Communication Disorders and Sciences from California State University, Northridge. I worked both full and part time during the last six years as a Speech and Language Therapist in schools. I delayed getting my license and certification because I wanted to stay home with my three children. But, I've decided that I need to go back to finish up this last step of the process, so that I don't have to retake the Praxis!
I'm excited to brush up on my old skills and use them to help my children and others.
