My Letter Fromation Book

Hey Guys!

I made a letter formation book because I am always needing things for centers with my little guys to teach correct letter formation. You can use this pack as a booklet for each student or as a center.

It can be used as a dry erase marker. beads, or with play-doh!

It will be a really fun center that helps with learning letter formation, letter awareness and sounds!

Lateral Lisp

Hey Everyone!

I have a few kids on my caseload with a lateral lisp so I went searching for a few new tricks and this is what I found and use....


First of all get out your mirror! Kids always need to have visual cues and helping to see their own mouth helps... a lot!

1. Use a straw and cotton ball to show students how to force the air through the front of the month instead of the sides of the mouth. As the student blows through the straw they practice having the air flow through the front of the mouth instead of the sides.

2. Have the student practice the s sound with a frontal lisp and then shape it from their- its easier to work on a frontal lisp than a lateral lisp. You just have the child practice using their s initial words with a th sound and then get them to keep their tongue behind their teeth- this one can be tricky but it has worked.

3. Like the video, use the t t t t sss approach.

4.  I get them to pucker their lips in a kissing position. This way it is harder for the air to leak out the sides of the mouth.

Carnival

I know it’s not Carnival time but I sure do miss summer! I live in Alberta and we already have snow. Winter is in full force!

A great way to keep your mind off the weather is to use my carnival pack in speech.

My carnival pack is a great way to talk about vocabulary. You can check out my video here and see how are use this one book and packet to target vocabulary :
