Sounds: Review of /l/ and /r/

What part of your body holds the key to creating

the correct /l/ and /r/ sounds?

The tip of your tongue.

The key to creating the correct sounds is the tip of your tongue.

To create the [l] sound, the tip of your tongue should make contact with the top of your mouth, just behind your teeth.

The key to creating the correct sounds is the tip of your tongue.

To create the [l] sound, the tip of your tongue should make contact with the top of your mouth, just behind your teeth.

To create the [r] sound, the tip of your tongue must NOT make contact with any part of your mouth. It curves slightly upward. Your lips are somewhat “pursed” or rounded. The sides of your tongue may touch your teeth. But the tip of your tongue should be in the middle of your mouth, without touching anything.
