I recommend you print on cardstock and laminate for durability.

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 final /z/ at a one-syllable level. No blends or vocalic /r/ sounds are included in this set. The set pairs the final /z/ with as many different vowel sounds as possible to maximize co-articulation variety.

Key Features

This set includes 20 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 VC or CVC in syllable shape.
The words are easily understood by or easily taught to young children.
Combines the target sound with all possible vowel sounds at least once.
Words are sorted by difficulty level for an easy progression from easy to hard.
