Articulation Therapy
Categories: Articulation / Speech Sound Disorders
Here is a list of ways to quickly change your articulation therapy so that we don’t bore our students (or ourselves!) to tears.
11 Great Articulation Therapy Ideas
- Going on a Sound Hunt: Put artic cards upside down on the floor. Get a flashlight and start searching!
- Cooperative Drawing: Draw or have the child draw one part of an animal, house, or thematic item (ex. school bus, pumpkin, etc.) every time a child practices their sound.
- Puzzles: Put a puzzle piece in when child practices his or her sound.
- I Spy: Go on a scavenger hunt around school and look for objects with the child’s sound.
- Grab bag: Create a grab bag with objects with the child’s sound
- Read a book!: Have child practice target phoneme while you read. Have them practice the sound 5, 10, or a ‘bonus’ 15 or 20 times to get the maximum number of trials in during the therapy session.
- Draw from a book: Have child draw items from the book that begin with the target sound.
- Dice: Roll dice and have the child practice the target word for the number they rolled.
- Make matching cards: Print out 2 copies of artic worksheet. Have child practice target sound, color the pictures, and glue them on construction paper. Voila! You have made matching cards!
- Sensory bin: Search for artic cards in sensory bin filled with rice, beans, or shredded paper.
- Play pretend: Have the child practice their target sound while pretending to be a Ninja Turtle, Transformer, or Elmo. This activity is useful when a child is nervous to practice his or her speech sound.
