This resource provides large ‘busy’ pictures, featuring a particular phoneme in word initial position, Individual Phoneme Initial, for carrying out auditory input therapy, modelling, reinforcement and speech production work.
These resources are also useful, when a child, who has been receiving therapy, reaches the stage when he or she needs to generalise newly acquired sounds into conversational speech. Sound Loaded Scenes provides a supportive and attractive activity, in which the therapist, parent and child can discuss the pictures together, knowing that there will be multiple exemplars of ‘their’ sound.
Speech and Language Therapists will use them for auditory input therapy, practice and for consolidation work.
Teachers may also find these pictures helpful when using a phonics approach to reading and writing, particularly for pupils who require additional and differentiated resources to help them identify individual phonemes at the beginning of words.
Sound Loaded scenes include 28 scenarios
Examples of scenarios include:
Intensified, systematic exposure to multiple exemplars of phonological targets enables the child to monitor correct productions and motivates phonemic change. The acquisition of sounds is influenced by how frequently a child hears them. For example, /p/ /t/ and /b/ are early sound acquisitions in English as they are high-frequency sounds in the English language; /v/ is an early sound acquisition in French children as this is a high-frequency sound in the French language.
Thus, phonological change may occur by increasing the frequency of target sounds for the child to hear. Sound Loaded Scenes contains 28 busy and attractive pictures, which contain multiple exemplars of an individual phoneme initial in words.
Contents: The pack includes the following sounds: /p/, /b/, /d/, /g/, /k/c/, /f/, /v/, /s/, /sh/, /ch/, /j/, /l/, /r/, /z/ plus the clusters /s/, /l/, /r/.
Aim: to identify and establish the correct production of individual phonemes at the beginning of words.
