Description: Speech Sound Disorder/Articulation therapy activity for clients/students presenting with a Speech Sound Disorder and/or CAS. 29 target words: First: CV-CV units (phonetic spelling to create nonsense words e.g. "go tee", "ha pea"). Second: matching target words are then presented as real CVCV words, so "ha pea" becomes "happy". The second syllable of every target word are either "pea", "knee" or "tea" CV syllables (e.g. "happy", "puppy", "beanie", "tiny", or "bootie") GAME: Nonsense CV-CV syllables are on the first page. On page 2 of each word, children can move a magic light/lamp/torch/candle to find the matching real CVCV words. For example, the child repeats a nonsense syllable combination (e.g. "tee pea"). On the second page, the child moves the light to find the "teepee." This presents an opportunity for additional drilling practice of the target word or an opportunity to generalise speech skills within a secondary task. I created this task for a client who was already able to produce one syllable CV, VC and CVC words well. He was also able to produce reduplicated syllables, for example, "bee bee" but was not able to accurately produce the second syllable when the second syllable was different to the first, for example, "bee knee." Let's face it - you need to do a lot of drilling to bring about significant changes, so I wanted to make a fun task children would be happy to play multiple times. ALSO FOR SALE: moveable part game. COMING SOON: board game.
