This application is a great clinical tool for a speech therapist, but it can also be used by parents to help their children practice the Sh, Ch and J sounds. These are also known as the “palatal” phonemes, /tʃ/, /ʃ/ and /dʒ/. English language learners may also find this app helpful for pronunciation practice. The app consists of 90 images with optional spoken words and text, providing articulation practice through auditory bombardment or flashcard drilling. A fun and visually appealing matching game keeps users motivated to practice their articulation while they play. Articulate Sh, Ch, J was designed by an ASHA certified and licensed speech-language pathologist. Use this app to address the phonological processes of deaffrication, palatal fronting, depalatalization, stridency deletion and final consonant deletion. The various phonetic contexts provided include: • initial /ʃ/ (sh) • inter-syllabic /ʃ/ (sh) • final /ʃ/ (sh) • initial /tʃ/ (ch) • inter-syllabic /tʃ/ (ch) • final /tʃ/ (ch) • initial /dʒ/ (j) • inter-syllabic /dʒ/ (j) • final /dʒ/ (j)
