Say: Lets listen to some Basic Words with the /r/
sounds: nurse, word, bird, serve. The letters ur in
nurse are pronounced /r/: /rrr/, nrrrse, nurse.
Repeat with word, bird, and serve.

the Basic Word north are pronounced /r/. Model
the contrast between the /r/ sounds in nurse
and the /r/ sounds in north. Say: Lets listen to
two different vowel + /r/ sounds, the /r/ sounds in
nurse and the /r/ sounds in north. Say /r/, elongate the /r/ sounds alone and as part of the word
nurse, then say nurse. Say /r/, elongate the /r/
sounds alone and as part of north, then say north.
