Wondering how to help kids say the CH sound? Try these ideas!

Typically we expect kids to be able to say th
CH sound by 4 years old. If they are having difficulty, direct instruction in speech therapy, or consisten home practice can help!

Let me know what sounds you need help with!

Please also know that while I do use some negative feedback, I’m overwhelmingly using positive phrases in speech therapy.

Sometimes giving accurate and specific feedback is most effectively achieved through negative feedback.
Of course this will look different with every student and age group, but overwhelmingly students can handle an occasional “that’s not quite right.” Thoughts? Do you use negative feedback in speech therapy?

Typically we expect kids to say the L sound by the age of 4, and if they need a little support getting there? This is what speech therapy might look like! This is how I teach kids to say the L sound!

It’s important for them to understand why it’s important to say the correct sound (because sounds change word meanings), which is why I use minimal pair cards! I’d also typically use a mirror to help them watch lip rounding.

Now that you now how to say the L sound, what sounds would you like help with next?

This is how I typically teach kids to say the L sound in speech therapy! Of course different kids have different needs, but for most students the tips in this video are life savers!

Mirrors, minimal pair cards, visual aids, and always lots and lots of repetition are so important!

Hi to all my new friends!

This is called the H insertion trick, it can be useful for any sibilant sound (long stretch sounds like F, S, V etc. that are turning into stopped sounds (B, T, D, etc.).

Fun way to teach snow/winter theme vocabulary!

I start every therapy session with my younger students with a song. We sing the same song every day for a week so that the vocabulary has a chance to stick! This one is a fan favorite!

Truly embarrassed to admit how big of a problem this has been for me, but I’m know I’m not alone in this.

There are of course other ways to block apps, this is just what has worked for me (consistently for 45 days).

If you want to try the pro version use this code: “DMS93” for a free 30-day Opal Pro pass.

What is going on with birds articulators systems? Do birds that mimic have different articulators systems than other birds? Can they only mimic certain sounds? I need to know.

Coarticulation is a strategy I use frequently in speech therapy to teach kids how to say the R sound at the end of words. It’s like borrowing the R from another word!

Focus on the things they need and can use today - they have so much time to learn the rest (and it can be to their benefit to wait to introduce academic concepts).

This is a common error in young children, typically caused by a speech pattern called fronting. This can be a very hard sound to teach, but l’ve had this “angry cat sound” work with many of my students!
