This section is for articulation practice. I've tried to include as many sounds as I could think of that each child is working on. Practice only those sounds that your child is having difficulty with. Scroll down to see practice items for the following weeks.

If you do have any questions, please e-mail me at faleym@norwalktruckers.net

Below are some videos to address some common sound errors.

Here are some pictures to practice your speech sounds. Please find the sounds your child is working on and practice those sounds.

Here is a practice sheet to use for home practice. It has 3 pages so please read all 3 pages!

Here are some following ideas to reinforce speech sounds at home in the child's environment:

1. In the Car................This is similar to the alphabet game where you take turns thinking of an animal or food that starts with each letter of the alphabet. When you are targeting your speech sounds, you can play this game in a similar manner except think of things that begin with your speech sound! You take turns going back and forth until someone is not able to think of anymore. The person left wins the game.

2. Sidewalk chalk............You could use sidewalk chalk to make your own hopscotch game with your speech sounds or make a life size game board with your speech sounds, or draw and color speech words in the driveway.

3. Picture Scavenger Hunt............Go through the house or yard and take pictures of as many things as you can that have your targeted sound. Whoever takes the most pics wins, but you have to say the words correctly in order to win.

4. In the Sand.............In the backyard sand box or at the beach, bury objects or laminated pictures for them to find. When they find the item or picture they have to say the word correctly before putting them in the sand pail.

5. Flashlight hide and seek...........Tape your practice words around the house and then turn off the lights. Give your child a flashlight and then go and find the words. Have them say each word as they find them.

6. Taking turns games.............Any type of game or toy where you have to take turns can be used to practice your sounds. Say one of your words and then take a turn putting together a puzzle, legos, board game, tossing a ball, etc.
