CH 01 · LEARNING LAND · EPISODE L18
It's garden day on Murphy's farm! At sunrise a rooster on the fence crows, cock-a-doodle-doo, and wakes Murphy up. He grabs the rake from beside the barn and rakes neat rows in the garden, then flies along the rows dropping radish seeds and pats them in. Gray clouds roll in and a gentle rain waters the garden, and when the sun comes back, green leaves pop up. A friendly rabbit hops over, tugs on the leaves and pulls up a bright red radish for Murphy, and they each get one to crunch.
Every one of them starts with the letter R. Can your Couch Buddy name them all?
Coming soon to Spotify!
R! R! R is rockin'! R! R! Here we go! The rooster crowed at sunrise, cock-a-doodle-doo! Murphy jumped up, there was garden work to do!

R, R, rain, falling soft and light! R, R, rabbit, hopping in to say hi! R is rockin', reaching for the sky! He planted radish seeds, a row, a row, a row Then down came the rain to help the garden grow! Pitter, patter, pitter, then the clouds rolled away And green leaves popped up on a sunny day! R, R, rooster! (Rooster!) R, R, rake! (Rake!) R, R, radish, red and round and bright! R, R, rain, falling soft and light! R, R, rabbit, hopping in to say hi! R is rockin', reaching for the sky!

Yes. R is one of the last sounds many kids master, and saying “wabbit” for rabbit is very common in the preschool years. Keep modeling the sound in fun words like rooster and radish; a speech therapist can help if it still sticks around later.
Start at the middle line and go straight down to the bottom line, then go back up and make a small curve over to the right, like an arm reaching out. The Trace It game shows it with arrows.
