R Intensive was developed as a result of "intensive" requests made by speech-language pathologists. Smarty Ears is aware of the high incidence of students seen for difficulties with the /r/ phoneme, and we have created the ultimate tool to address it. Fully redesigned with a breathtaking new user interface, R Intensive is the most engaging, comprehensive, and user-friendly go-to application for children practicing the production of the English /r/ at the word, phrase, and sentence levels. R Intensive contains 3 exciting, highly interactive activities: Flashcards: Allows focused practice of the /r/ sound at the word, phrase, and sentence levels. Multiplayer mode seamlessly supports 1 to 4 players, tracking individual targets and rewards for each student as you swipe. Matching Game: Beautifully designed 4x5 grids of premium game cards make working on your target /r/ a skill of memory and articulation. Supports 1 to 4 players per game. Guess What Game: Students will have fun guessing which /r/ word is being described while practicing their articulation. If the description clue is ever too difficult, simply tap the card to reveal the hidden answer. Supports 1 to 4 players. R Intensive uses a phonetic approach to teaching the "r" sound by creating targeted subgroups that will make your students more successful in therapy. We have divided the /r/ phoneme at the word level as follows: Pre-Vocalic /r/ Clusters ar air ear er ire or rl R Intensive is the most comprehensive tool on the market that allows you to not only practice the production of the /r/ phoneme but also accurately tally the percentage of accuracy directly on your iPad or iPhone. Features that make this app an essential therapy tool: Over 415 target words featuring stellar, high-quality images and crisp audio. Built-in voice recording and playback to provide instant auditory feedback to students. An animated star-based reward system to keep students highly motivated. Store, review, and email detailed "report cards" from individual sessions. Print reports directly from the app. Student report cards feature easy-to-read graphs for the Flashcards activity, making analyzing results and progress simple and clear. Import a student photo, or choose from one of 50 high-quality avatars to represent the player. Quick Play feature allows those unconcerned with data tracking to jump straight into a session. Multiplayer capability across all three activities supports up to four players simultaneously. Intuitive, distraction-free user interface designed specifically for clinical and educational settings. Whether you are working in a school, clinic, or at home, R Intensive is the ultimate resource for mastering this complex phoneme.

I love using this app with my upper elementary and middle school students. It has a lot of words and I’m able to select what type of vocalic art I want to use with my students. I enjoy how it’s multiplayer, it keeps track of data, and I can choose the different levels of the target word.

I love to use this app as a companion to a game or other activity in therapy. I love that it groups the various /r/ sounds and doesn't lump them all together as a lot of activities do. The kids love using the iPad and will work to be able to use any of these apps. Thanks again smarty ears!

One of the toughest parts of preparing for speech therapy is coming up with stimulus words to target. This app takes all the hard work away. The app is great and easy to use. I’ve never had an issue with the functionality.
