Sound symbol games with speech targets

Required: Alphabet cards and game boards

Place out 6 speech cards in front of each child or choose a speech target

bingo board. The cards should include each child’s speech target word

plus some distracter items. For example, if the child’s speech target is /st/

consonant cluster words, select 3 /st /cluster speech cards plus 3 words

that start with letters that are visually distinct from s and each other (e.g.,

m f and p speech cards) as used on the bingo boards in this file.

“Yes you’ve picked up the letter s, s makes a /s/ sound. Do you have any words on

your board that start with the letter s that makes a /s/ sound”. Hold the letter s

under each word for visual matching if necessary. Child labels “stem stop star” and

is encouraged to articulate the words accurately as appropriate to speech

articulation goals.
