Initial SK and SW Card Set

To download click on the image to open it full size. Then right click on the image, choose "save as" and save the page to your computer.

I recommend you print on cardstock and laminate for durability.

I also have a speech articulation card set featuring /sl/, /sm/, /sn/, /sp/, and /st/.

Description

This articulation picture card set is designed to be more comprehensive than the typical sets you might find elsewhere. The target audience for this set is young children or children with more severe speech delays that need intensive practice with sounds at a one-syllable level. No blends (other than the targeted initial blend) or vocalic /r/ sounds are included in this set. All syllable shapes are kept as simple as possible to allow the child to focus as much as possible on producing the initial blend. Syllable shapes are CCV or CCVC only.

Key Features

This set includes 15 therapy cards with the target word and picture on the front, and the difficulty level and a carrier phrase on the back.
The words are all CCV or CCVC in syllable shape.
The words are simple and are easily understood by or easily taught to young children.
Combines the target sound with a wide variety of vowel sounds for variation in coarticulation practice.
Words are sorted by difficulty level for an easy progression from simpler to harder.
