🔤 The 6 Problematic Sounds (L R P T C K)
L — Left
Chorus Sing Drill

R — Right
Tongue Curl Drill
Common Error: Rolling R or touching palate with tongue tip.
Tongue Fix: Curl tongue back without touching anywhere. Say: "Red River runs really rapidly" 5 times fast.
P — Push
Paper Puff Test
Common Error: Soft un-aspirated P sounding like B.
Action Fix: Hold paper strip in front of lips. Say "Peter Pepper Picked" — paper MUST fly forward!
T — Tap
Alveolar Tap
Common Error: Heavy dental T (touching front teeth).
Tap Fix: Tap ridge behind top teeth sharply. Chant: "Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Top of the Tower".
C / K — Catch & Kick
Velar Release

Release Fix: Press back of tongue to soft palate and burst air out. Say: "Kick the Can, Catch the Kite!"
