Description
Make /s/ practice fun and memorable with silly, realistic cat photos! This Boom Card deck uses /ts/–/s/ coarticulation to help students establish accurate tongue placement and central airflow for /s/. Each two-word phrase ends the first word with /ts/ and begins the second word with a single /s/, such as “Cats sing,” “Cats surf,” and “Cats sew.” Holding the /s/ at the word boundary helps students transition from the naturally formed /s/ in /ts/ directly into the beginning of the next word. 🎯 Designed For: • Frontal lisp therapy • Lateral lisp therapy • Establishing correct /s/ placement • Practicing central airflow • /ts/–/s/ coarticulation practice • Speech therapy drill and repetition 🐱 What’s Included: • 20 two-word coarticulation phrases • A different silly cat action on every card • Funny, realistic photos featuring the same three cats • Second words beginning with a single /s/—no /s/ blends • Simple, highly visual phrases that are easy for children to understand 💡 Therapy Tip: Have the student stretch the sound across the two words without stopping: “Catssssssing.” Once the student consistently produces central airflow, gradually shorten the stretched /s/ until the phrase sounds natural: “Cats sing.” The funny cat scenes keep practice engaging while encouraging repeated productions of the target phrase. This deck is perfect for individual therapy, small groups, teletherapy, or home practice.
