Get the free /s/ articulation teaching kit
A complete sample of clinical /s/ materials — elicitation techniques, cue cards, flashcards, home practice handouts, and a word search activity. Grounded in motor learning science. Ready to use in your next session.
Why This Works
Not just a word list. A clinical framework.
Most free /s/ materials are just word lists. This packet is built around how speech is actually learned — motor learning principles, cueing hierarchies, and materials that adapt to what the child needs in the moment.
START HERE
Elicitation first
Verbal, visual, and tactile cues — including Butterfly S, Slowing-Down Train, and facilitative contexts like /i/ → /s/ and stretchy T.
THEN BUILD
Word → phrase → sentence
Final –ts clusters as an entry point, then initial /s/ flashcards across levels. Designed for high repetition and motor pattern building.
THEN GENERALIZE
Carryover baked in
Home practice handout, Word of the Week, and a cut-and-paste sheet that adds distraction which strengthens the motor pattern.
FROM THE CREATOR
Made by a clinician who still uses these.
I'm Bridget — an SLP with nearly 20 years of experience and the creator of Speech Therapy Talk. /r/ is the sound I've worked on the most in private practice. These materials reflect what actually works in a real session with a real child.
This kit is a sample from the Speech Therapy Talk Membership — a library of 4,400+ articulation and language materials in English and Spanish.
My treatment philosophy:
FREE DOWNLOAD * No Credit Card Needed
