Improve your child's articulation and pronunciation! Brought to you by a Speech Language Pathologist and the creator of the SpeakEasy: Home Speech Therapy app which has accelerated early language development for over 100,000 families. With Articulation Teacher, you choose specific sounds to work on with your child. You can work on Early Sounds like D or T, Middle Sounds like G or S, or Late Sounds like L or R. Articulation Teacher includes at home articulation activities to do with your child outside of the app as well as games to play with your child in the app. All suggestions are evidence-based and research-backed. Let's dive into what each sound set includes: --- In-App Games Our articulation games are best played side by side with your child, but if your child is up for it they can play the games on their own as well. For each sound, we have the following games: Splat: say the selected word, and have your child splat it from the choices on the screen! Name It: our simplest game, this is meant for rapidly trying to say different words using digital flash cards. Swipe to the next word and help your child say it out loud. Sound Check: look at and listen to each word, and have your child decide whether the word includes the sound you're working on or not. Space Match: play this out-of-this-world memory game, saying each word as you flip over each card, to work on both articulation and cognitive skills. Paper Games: print a list of articulation practice words and play these games around your house, bringing articulation practice directly into the world around you. --- Home Activities Each sound has 5 activities to try with your child at home. You can read these activities ahead of time, then do them with your child when you can. We recommend trying to do at least one Home Activity each day, and we encourage repetition as much as possible! Home Activities that focus on pronunciation and articulation are the most effective way to spend time with your child to work on speech development. We use videos, books, songs, and the world around you to help integrate articulation practice into every day. --- What Sounds and Letters Are Included? In Articulation Teacher, you can work on the following sounds: Early Sounds: B, P, M, D, T, N, and Vowels Intermediate Sounds: K, G, W, F, S, SH, and Multisyllabic Words Advanced Sounds: L, Final -L, R, R Blends, S Blends, and TH --- More Features Each sound also has an intro video that teaches you how the sound is made, as well as a digital and printable cue card which you can use to help remind your child to pronounce a sound. This cue card fits within the cueing hierarchy explained in the intro video. Cues are an essential part of articulation practice that we integrate directly into our games and activities. Plus, check out developmental milestones to know if your child is on track, and read free learning articles related to articulation development. Articulation Teacher is also meant to be used by SLPs during their sessions as an aid to articulation practice.

Start learning the /s/ sound today with LispApp’s interactive exercises! LispApp is a mobile application designed to support speech therapy and to be used for practice at home. The app has been developed together with American speech-language pathologists. Both the content and structure follow effective methods used in speech therapy for practicing the /s/ sound. LispApp is suitable for children of all ages, from 3 years old up to the teenage years. However, we recommend that an adult and child use LispApp together – this way the adult can support the child when needed, while also spending quality time learning together. The structure of LispApp: Auditory bombardments – First, we learn what the /s/ sound is like. The child listens to many model words where /s/ appears in different positions. Listening for /s/ – Next, the child practices recognizing whether /s/ appears in a word or not. This strengthens awareness of the sound. Oral motor exercises – Then we practice tongue and mouth motor skills, making it possible to produce the /s/ sound at all. These exercises strengthen tongue control and airflow. Making the /s/ sound – Fourth, we start shaping the /s/ sound through the /t/ sound (t → tsss → s). This helps the child find the correct tongue placement and airflow. /s/ in syllables – After that, we move to syllable practice. The child works on using /s/ in simple syllables such as sa, si, su, as, is, us. /s/ in words – The final section is placing /s/ into words in different positions, as well as practicing common consonant blends. The app includes a variety of fun activities for practicing speech. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
