Qubee letter R

Sounds like a slightly rolling r, as in sparrow.

R is letter 22 of the 31 Qubee letters of Afaan Oromo. It is one letter with one sound, so a child learns it once and traces it as one shape.

Teaching R to a child

Say the sound first, then let the child trace it. Tap your tongue once or twice behind your teeth. Ask for one more word that starts with R — a name in the family counts — and the letter becomes a game rather than a lesson.

In the app the whole stop takes a minute or two: trace R, hear it, pick it out of four letters, then watch the hut on the road raise its flag.
