Pronunciation Tree L and R

A pronunciation tree warm up activity that lets students practice difficult sounds.

The teacher starts at the top, pronouncing one of the two words in each line, moving down until reaching the bottom and arriving at a specific number. The students listen and try to choose each correct word as pronounced by the teacher until they end on the correct number at the bottom.
