Speech Articulation Mini Books

My students love doing mini-books in speech. I created this activity last year, and have brought it out again for therapy recently. I have mini-books in my TPT store that target syntax, articulation, vocabulary, questions, pragmatics, and fluency. Something for almost everyone on your caseload!  

For this blog post, I will focus on my articulation Mini Books.

After downloading the file, print and cut out each page. They look best in color, but are fun in black/white as well. Arrange the pages in any order and staple the side making a little book. Additionally, each page could be used for stimulus cards. This product is great for therapy or to send home for homework. 

Here are visual instructions using the Sushi for Speech mini-book. This book targets the "SH" phoneme. You can buy it here for $2. These instructions are included with all mini-book purchases.

In addition to the Sushi for Speech book that targets "SH," I have many more sounds in the mini-book style. 

I have created a Super Boy and Super Girl series for /r/ in all of it's forms. You can purchase the entire set of boys and girls, featuring all the /r/ phonemes, for $12. Get it here. The sounds included are: /ar/, /ear/, /ire/, /or/, /air/, /er/, and pre-vocalic /r/.  




Or, you can buy each /r/ phoneme individually for $2. Here are the links for the Super Boy sets: /ar/, /ear/, /ire/, /or/, /air/, /er/, and pre-vocalic /r/. 

Here are the links for the Super Girl sets: /ar/, /ear/, /ire/, /or/, /air/, /er/, and pre-vocalic /r/.



In addition to the /r/ phoneme books, I have created a slew of complex cluster books. Each set is $2 and feature two different themes. They are pretty much unisex, but have a minimum of something that will appeal to either gender. 

The STR complex sound books feature "The Empire Strikes Back" with Star Wars and "Elephants in a Straight Line." Get it here. 
The THR complex sound books feature "I see Three Ninja Turtles" and princesses at the "Royal Throne." Get it here. 
The FL complex sound books feature astronauts "Flying in Space" and little birdies in "Flock of Birds." Get it here. 
The FR complex sound books feature "From Space Robots" and "Fruity Fr Words." Get it here. 
The SHR complex sound books feature "Shrinking Super Heroes" and "Would you like Shrimp in your Sushi." Get it here. 
The SKR complex sound books feature "Scram! Monsters!" and "I Scream for Ice Cream." Get it here. 
The SKW complex sound books feature "Super Hero Girls Squad" and "Super Hero Boys Squad." Get it here. 
The SL complex sound books feature "Sly Foxes" and "Slow Music." Get it here. 
The SPL complex sound books feature "Splits Gymnastics" and "Splash" sea animals. Get it here. 
The SPR complex sound books feature "Spring Bunnies" and "Spring into Action Super Heroes." Get it here. 




Hope you enjoy your books!

Sushi Mini-Book for Articulation

Sushi, the perfect word for targeting "SH." As well as the word sashimi. That is why I made this mini-book to address this phoneme! 

I have been trying to come up with a new and creative way to target speech and language goals. Something fun. Something colorful. Something different.  The result is Speech Mini Books. I have a variety of books in my TpT shop, with more in the works. The students are in love with the graphics as well as the silly sentences. 

During this particular "SH" activity, there was a lot of talk about eating raw fish, and just plain old cooked fish as well. Plus seaweed and wasabi. I heard the word "gross" and "disgusting" a lot during this speech session. Boy did we get a lot of articulation practice. The students also got to practice their target sound in a variety of different ways: 

• Word level
• Phrase Level
• Sentence Level
• Conversational Level

All while cutting and stapling. As you may know, working on articulation while doing other motor activities and at a variety of levels (ie: word/phrase/sentence/conversation) has been shown to speed-up carryover and generalization. 

Check it out in my TpT store: here

Directions:

Step 1: Cut out each page. Take care not to cut off the "staple" column.

Step 2: Arrange the pages with the cover on top and the homework page as the last page (if you are using it). The rest of the pages can go in any order between these two pages. Staple the book together where it says "staple."

Your book is ready for therapy!

Aren't these graphics amazing? I got them here:
