Not all errors in speech are due to articulation. Sound errors can follow a pattern called a phonological process - a simplification of adult speech. Learn more about these speech sound errors, and when they are expected to "go away" as a child's communication develops!
It’s fun to “feed” the jack-o-lantern! You’re not the only one who loves Halloween Candy. Jack-o-lanterns do, too! Funny enough, these candies over 700 articulation and phonological process targets on them! This is a simple but fun activity is perfect for speech therapy because it provides articulation motivation. In addition to the many sound decks (FOR EVERY PHONEME), it also includes decks for the most common phonological processses and an open ended deck which can provide positive reinforcement for ANY skill (language, fluency, voice, sight words, math facts, etc.) These cards can also be used to practice labeling pictures or describing such as with the Expanding Expression Tool (EET). What's in this download? ► TWO cute jack-o-lanterns that your students will "feed" (don't forget to make the chomping sounds!) ► 520 ARTICULATION CARDS in picture/word form for readers and non-readers - a deck for EACH of the following sounds in various positions: /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/, /f/, /v/, /l/, /l/ blends, sh, ch, j, th, /s/, /z/, /s/ blends, /r/, vocalic r, /r/ blends, /m/, /n/, /h/, /w/, "y," and -ng ⚠️ The 20 cards per sound include targets in all positions of words (a combination of initial, medial and final) UNLESS the sound doesn’t exist in a certain position. ► 180 PHONOLOGICAL PROCESS CARDS in picture/word form for readers and non-readers- a deck for each of the most common phonological processes: Final Consonant Deletion, Fronting, Backing, Blend/Cluster Reduction, Stopping, Initial Consonant Deletion, Deaffrication, Gliding, and Weak Syllable Deletion. Each deck contains 20 cards. ► 1 open ended deck which is fun as positive reinforcement for ANY task. The open ended deck simply includes candy cards that are great for reinforcing any task (sight words, math facts, artic words, word families, antonyms, synonyms, etc.). TO USE: Have students drill with the articulation cards that match their speech targets and goals. When students articulate pictures/words to your liking (1X, 3X, 5X, in a phrase, in a sentence, etc.) they get to feed the jack-o-lantern! Somehow they never tire of it! If students are working at the word level, simply ask them to say the name of the picture from their sound deck X number of times to your liking and then allow them to feed the card to the elf. If a student is working at the phrase level, give him/her a carrier phrases (Jack-o-lanterns lick _____, Jack-o-lanterns love _____, Jack-o-lanterns eat _____) prior to letting the student “feed” the jack-o-lantern. At the sentence level, ask students to repeat or make a sentence with the picture they are about to "feed" the jack-o-lanterns. Just print, cut, and use! No wasted paper! Laminating is recommended for durability. Be sure to download the preview for a close look, or to read detailed directions for prep.

This is an excerpt from Super Star Speech, which includes instruction for teaching most of the speech sounds. Many more teaching tools and practice activities may be found in the book, but I hope this will be of help to some of you! R is produced by widening and flattening the tongue. The sides of the tongue touch the upper back gums and teeth. The tongue tip is held in the center of the mouth and is curled upward. The voice is made to vibrate. Tips: 1. /r/ can be a difficult sound to teach. It is hard for the child to see the correct tongue placement since the sound is primarily made in the back of the mouth. Much trial and error may be needed. 2. Provide a visual representation of the tongue by holding your hand palm up and curling the fingers upward. Slide the hand backward to show the backward movement of the tongue. Remind him to put his tongue far back in his mouth. 3. Touch the sides of the tongue and the back teeth with a popsicle stick and instruct the child to press the sides of his tongue against his back teeth and push upward or even to “bite” the sides of the tongue with his back teeth. The tactile cues created by touching the teeth and tongue are very helpful here. 4. Have the child relax his lips. Lip rounding encourages production of /w/. 5. Start with a production of /l/ and gradually slide the tongue backward in the mouth until it approximates /r/. 6. Practice widening and narrowing the tongue and moving it forward and back in the mouth. 7. Teaching words or sound combinations of kr, and gr (creak, green, great) is sometimes helpful because /k/ and /g/ are also produced with the back of the tongue. Blends are usually more difficult to produce, but this may be an exception. 8. The vowel sounds “ee” and “i” are also produced with the tongue high and back in the mouth. Combining /r/ with “ee” or “i” may aid in attaining correct production. (“rrrreee”, ring, reach ) 9. Exaggerate the sound of RRRR to draw the child’s attention to it. R Practice—Initial R Say each word pair. Be careful! The first word starts with W. The second word starts with R. whack rack won run witch rich whip rip wore roar whale rail weep reap wick Rick weal reel wing ring west rest wise rise wound round wag rag wide ride white right wed red wind rind way ray wipe ripe Do you know.... an animal with long ears? why we carry an umbrella? a bright color? what you wear on your finger? a pretty flower? what will float on water? a small animal with a long tail? what a girl might wear in her hair?

We’ve all been there. After months of drill and practice and tongue depressors, he’s finally got his /r/ sound! He can say it in words, in phrases, even sentences and short conversations. You’re thinking he’s definitely on his way out the door with a “graduation” certificate soon. Then you see him in the hallway. He grins […]

I was flipping through a recent edition of Mailbox Magazine and saw this adorable frog template. The magazine featured a different activity for the frog, but I thought it would make a great articulation craftivity! Here's what you need: Frog Template (HERE is a cute one from DLTK kids.com if you don't get Mailbox) Small articulation (or vocabulary) pictures Red construction paper, cut into strips Scissors Crayons Glue Paper clips (optional) To create the small articulation pictures, I used Lesson Pix. If you haven't used Lesson Pix yet, head on over and try it out (you can give it a test run before subscribing, but it's well worth the $36.00/year subscription fee!) Lesson Pix has a sound finder feature, which I used to get target words for my articulation groups. I created picture cards with the 35 pictures/page option: I colored the frog and lilypad and cut the frog's mouth out. Then I attached the strip of paper to the backside of the frog and glued the pictures on his tongue. You can roll up the frog's tongue and hold it together with a paper clip. This will give it a curly shape even after you remove the paper clip. Kids can practice their words as they unroll the frog's tongue. Other Ways to Use This Craft: Open Ended - You could get some bug stickers and have kids stick the stickers on the frog's tongue for each X number of desired responses (language or artic). Patterning - Use the frog's tongue as a pattern strip (e.g., fly, beetle, fly, beetle) Concepts - Start with a bug in the center of the frog's tongue. Have students glue more bugs "above" or "below" the first. Sequencing - Find small pictures (or use your photocopier to reduce) of steps of a sequence. Have students cut out and glue to the frog's tongue in the correct order. I found some frog life cycle sequencing pictures on Enchanted Learning and Making Learning Fun. What else would you have kids glue to the frog's tongue? I'd love to hear your ideas!
Como muchos ya sabéis, estoy trabajando en la creación de un material bastante complejo para trabajar problemas articulatorios con apoyo visual, código de colores y segmentación silábica con el cual pretendo ir trabajando la adquisición de los fonemas de manera aislada para posteriormente integrarlos en sílabas, palabras y oraciones (como siempre partiendo de menos a más). Uno de los materiales que quiero usar para iniciar este sistema de trabajo son las tarjetas fonémicas, que ya tengo terminado y que os comparto aquí hoy para que vayáis teniendo acceso a lo que voy preparando. Quiero recordaros que crear todos estos materiales tan sumamente complejos lleva muchísimas horas de trabajo detrás eligiendo imágenes, sacando fotos, colocando elementos en word, editando, borrando el fondo de cada imagen, cambiando formatos etc etc etc., por lo que no puedo subir cosas a diario y necesito tiempo. Me gustaría que no fuera necesaria esta aclaración, pero desgraciadamente recibo mensajes demandando materiales y no me gusta nada que no se valore el esfuerzo que hay detrás (sin contar con que todo lo que comparto lo hago libremente porque yo quiero, que podría no hacerlo...). Pensé ponerle un precio simbólico a los materiales más laboriosos y donar el dinero recaudado a algún fin benéfico, pero no me parece ético usar imágenes de otros (ARASAAC, internet etc.) y cobrar por ello. Por favor os pido que valoréis lo que supone la creación de todo lo que os traigo por aquí, y de todo lo que mis compañeras comparten en distintos blogs. Sin más, espero que os guste y que os animéis a comentar. ¡Un abrazo!
