"The Pirate Who Couldn't Say Arrr!"
All pirates say “ARRR!” All of them, it seems… but one. Join the journey of how one pirate learned to say “arrr” as you travel with him on an adventure across the seas to roar this most famous of pirate expressions! Go to the "Video" tab to watch a short clip of the story being read!
The Pirate Who Couldn't Say Arrr was written by a Speech-Language Pathologist who was inspired by her students. For almost every student who said "wabbit" for "rabbit", they were able to answer the question, "what does a pirate say?" with a ferocious and nearly perfect "arrr!". Figuring there must be a magical connection between pirates and "arrr's" (r's), the author captured exactly what the mouth must do to make a perfect /r/ sound and wrote it into a story. The story is written as a limerick so that there is heavy repetition of rhyme and syllables to support the development of phonological awareness which lays the foundation for early reading skills. The book has become a favorite among children who love pirates, those who love to roar a ferocious "arrr" from time to time as well as for those children who struggle with speech difficulties.
