Rabbit Flashcard — Letter R for Preschoolers
Rr beside a grey rabbit with long ears — /r/ curls the tongue and never touches it, which makes rabbit the r-word children say best and the sound grown-ups explain worst.
How this card helps
Rr beside the rabbit anchors the curling sound — and because r is invisible in a mirror, the growl-trick and the rabbit do the visible work.
How to use this card
Hop and say: bunny-hop three hops per r-word — rabbit, run, red, rain. Ears up with two fingers on the head; the ears make the r better.
What kids learn from it
That Rr is the curling sound of rabbit and run — and that some sounds live where the eye cannot see, which is why listening games matter.
Print it like this
Print landscape on A4 or Letter at 100%; the Rr card keeps its full 2000×1414 frame and the soft grey prints gently at any quality.
How to teach with this card
Never say “roll your r” — English r does not roll. Growl softly instead: the growl places the tongue better than any instruction.
Letter sound
R makes the /r/ sound — tongue curled toward the roof of the mouth without touching: rabbit, run, rain, red.
