1st Grade Speech Therapy Assessment

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.

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/

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.
