How to Use These Guides
Pick one idea for the week and repeat it in familiar moments such as snack time, car rides, bath time, or bedtime reading. Keep it short and upbeat. If something isn’t clicking, we’ll tweak it together at your next session.
Articulation Practice at Home (Speech Sounds)
- Turn reps into play: roll a die and say target words; hide picture cards around the room; use token boards toward a small reward
- Quick cues: mirror checks for tongue placement; “slow and steady” reminders for tricky clusters
- Carryover ideas: practice favorite words before school; short “sound checks” during reading; gentle self-monitoring in games
Printable: Sound-of-the-Week template with 10 target words and a sticker chart.
Language Activities in Everyday Routines
