This resource was created in order to help Speech Language Pathologists target initial phonemes at the word level.

The h-insertion trick can be an extremely helpful strategy to use when children are stuck at the isolation level of a sound. By producing /h/ after the initial sound, the child continues their air flow, making it easier to produce the following vowel. This helps them to eliminate the prior habit of producing the incorrect sound.

Find the Full H-Insertion Resource Here!

If you haven't tried /h/-insertion, download this FREEBIE and see it work it's magic!

H-Insertion can help target the following:

• Phonological Processes: prevocalic voicing, gliding, backing, fronting, stopping, deaffrication, labialization, denasalization, excessive nasal emissions, initial consonant deletion
• Motor planning and sound transitions for children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech
• Sound production for children with Dysarthria or weak articulatory musculature
• Myofunctional disorders including frontal lisp, lateral lisp, limited lip rounding
• Articulation disorders to target initial /b/, initial /k/, initial /d/, initial /f/, initial /g/, initial "j", initial /l/, initial /m/, initial /n/, initial /p/, initial /r/, initial /s/, initial /t/, initial /v/, initial /w/, initial "y", initial /z/

Teach your students the short /a/ sound with this FREE, fun, easy, SVG file for your Cricut, Silhouette, or other cutting machine. Improve letter and sound recognition as students create a visual mnemonic device to connect the beginning sound /a/ with an alligator in the shape of a uppercase letter A!

This phonics activity is great for...

• interactive alphabet notebooks
• letter of the day or letter of the week
• reviewing or introducing letter sounds
• small group activities or literacy centers
• fine motor development (gluing, coloring, tracing, and cutting skills)
• and creating a sound wall bulletin board in your classroom as a visual reminder of the sound

This file includes the cut file SVG for all the parts of the alligator. This is great if you want to skip the cutting process in your classroom (or for yourself!) and use your Cricut, Silhouette, or other die cut machine to do the cutting for you! Also included is a printable traceable sentence to title your craft "A is for alligator."

Simply upload the SVG to your cut program, resize (while grouped), and cut on the shown color- or change it up and use your own preference!

Students will read and sort words based on common vowel pair sounds ea, ai, and oa. Visuals are added as prompts to help the students remember the sounds.

These are basic 2 and 3 phoneme Elkonin boxes. I say a word and the students practice saying the sounds in the word while the circles drop down into the box. You could also say the sounds and have the students guess the word. Sometimes we think of what letter makes the sound and write it in the box. Circles drop on click into the box.

**Letter Sound Fluency Strips**

This low prep activity gives students a quick and engaging way to practice and improve their letter sound fluency. Students point to colorful pictures one at a time as they say the letter sounds on them. They can use the same strips repeatedly and work to increase their speed.

These low prep tear off strips bring a fun, active element to practicing letter sound fluency. My small group intervention students beg for this activity!

Display the colorful sheets of tear off strips around the room. Students tear off one strip at a time and practice the row of 10 letter sounds 3 times to increase fluency. Then they can read their strip for the teacher or a classmate before choosing another sheet to tear from.
