Description

Speech Sound Worksheets are packs of resources for children with delayed speech development. Each pack focuses on an individual phoneme in a specific position in words (initial, medial or final) This pack focuses on: l initial.

All of the activities provide multiple opportunities for the adult to model correct production and for the child to correct their own production of words. Thus, the adult uses the pictures and activities to prompt use of the target word/sound.

Attractive and easy to use, the worksheets progress from the correct use of the individual sound to single word production, followed by using these words in simple phrases through to consolidation at sentence level. Speech Sound Worksheets offer a wide range of attractive interactive games and activities which encourage production of the focus sound through each of the following stages:

identification of the chosen sound;
developing discrimination skills so that children become aware of their error pattern;
correcting the productions through increasingly complex production contexts i.e. individual word; simple phrase; complex sentence;
generalising the sound into spontaneous conversational speech.
