When kids have the phonological process of liquid gliding, they substitute glide sounds ( W and Y) for liquid sounds (R and L). So you might hear them say Wed instead of Red. Using minimal pairs is a great way to work on this.

Minimal pairs are sets of words that vary by only one sound. So, Wed and Red, Wink and Rink, etc. The endings are the same but one sound is different at the beginning.
