Initial SH: Free Speech Therapy Articulation Picture Cards

Description

These articulation picture card sets are designed to be more comprehensive than the typical sets you might find elsewhere. The target audience for these sets are young children or children with more severe speech delays that need intensive practice with sounds at a one-syllable level. No blends or vocalic /r/ sounds are included in these sets. (Scroll down to preview set.)

Key Features

  • This set includes 24 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 CV or CVC in syllable shape.
  • The words are simple and 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.

  1. I just wanted to say I think your cards are awesome and so helpful. My son has been kicked out of speech for doing too well and I am continuing at home and cannot afford to buy the artic cards or anything, so this has been great! I was wondering if you considered making an "S" set? He used to have "s" down, but has started to do more of an "sh" instead, so I was going to try to reinforce his "s" a bit. He only does it at the beginning of words. :) Just curious, it would be awesome if you did!! Thank you for all that you do!!

    1. You're welcome. I'm glad the cards are helping you work with your son at home. I actually have been sitting on an initial /s/ set that is about an hour from being finished for a couple of weeks but not getting around to it. I'll try to finish it up tonight and post it for you tomorrow.

  2. Thank you so much. I am a public school SLP with many years of experience. I have a first grader this year who has the most severe apraxia i have encountered thus far. Your cards are wonderful.

  4. Thank you! I am an SLPA that sees kids at school and at home, but it always seems that the good materials that I find on-line are behind Teachers Pay Teachers. I absolutely believe that people deserve something for their hard work, but after five years, I am still trying to save every dollar that I can while I try to get more clients and get into grad school. I can use these flashcards with some of my students who want packets instead of teletherapy. Thanks again!
