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've got ever expanding numbers of kids in my articulation groups going into the end of the year as all the last minute referrals qualify, so I've been thinking through different kinds of articulation stations. So when I saw the roll a letter letter labeling game on pinterest I knew I had to modify it for articulation! The premise is that each student rolls one, or two dice depending on how many words you want them to practice on each turn. After they practice their words the first student two finish a column wins! If one student finishes a column with a could lucky rolls, you can always see who can finish the most columns. I created a blank sheet that I filled out with 9 rows of words (54 words total, 27 in each word position). I used the HELP to fill out this world list as I recently created a different activity using the No Glamour Articulation word lists. I then laminated all of my sheets so students could cross off with a dry-erase marker. After I finished doing my articulation word lists for some of my current students I started thinking about other uses for these sheets! Just think of all the language things we could practice: vocabulary, adjectives, regular past tense, regular past tense, plurals, verbs ect! Get your copy on Google Docs! Also Smartappsforkids.com has a giveaway for a free iPad 2.
I love using my No Frills Articulation products. I keep them all in a binder and am able to flip through to the pages I need quickly.

Hi friends! Thank you so much for all the love and support. Here is the freebie for reaching over 200 likes on Facebook! I had a request for vocalic /r/ cards with pictures for non-readers, so I made one for you! :) You can play this three ways: 1. Use as flash cards. 2. Play like Go Fish! Print two copies of each card. Students take turns asking each other if they have the card that matches theirs. If they don't have the match, the student draws from the pile. When the student has a match, they lay the cards down. Whoever has the most matches wins! 3. Play like Memory. Print two copies of each card. Lay out the cards face down. Students take turns flipping two cards over to see if they match. Whoever has the most matches at the end wins! This pack includes a word list: It also includes 28 vocalic /r/ cards and 4 blank cards: You can download this freebie here! If you do download it, leave feedback on TpT and comment here!
