#S Blends

✨ Speech in action! ✨ In this session, my student is working on s-blends, which can be so tricky for little ones. At first, she replaces the /s/ sound with /f/…saying “fighter” for “spider” and “file” for “smile.” Through repetition, modeling, and visual cues, she learns to produce both words correctly! 🗣️ 👉 I slide my finger down my arm to remind her that /s/ is a “keep-going” sound 👉 I pop my hands for the /p/ in “spider” 👉 I touch my lips together for the /m/ in “smile” I love using these visual cues because they’re simple, effective, and easy for parents to use at home, helping with carryover and confidence. 💪💬 #speechtherapy #speechtherapist #articulation #sblends #speechtips

💛 SQUIGZ 💛 I recently bought a bin of SQUIGZ and I’m SO glad I did! They have been such a hit with my students! I plan to share some of the many ways I use them in sessions and for today, it’s s-blends! This is a fun S-blend activity I used with my students this week! Here we were specifically working on SK and ST blends at sentence level and my student was so motivated by this activity! 💛 First I had the student request between two different Squiz. He had to tell me what squiz he wanted (e.g., I want the blue SQuig) and then he got to stick it to the table (e.g., STick the blue SQuig on the table). 💛 After we stuck a bunch to the table we took our animals and decide what Squiz they would Stand on. 💛 The student then got to use a ball popper and practice saying “squeeze the bunny” each time before he knocked one of the animals over. Super motivating and TONNES of trials were made!!! Have you used SQUIGZ in your sessions?! Stay tuned for more ideas how to use them with early language to school-aged kids! #squig #kidstoys #sblends #speechlanguagetherapy #speechies #slps #lessonplans #therapyideas #articulation #schoolslp #playtolearn #preschoolslp #speechlanguagepathologist

Snapping into s clusters 🐊✨ Using alligator alphabet toys as visual cues to target consonant cluster reduction with s blends. Visual supports help highlight the missing sound, increase awareness of the full cluster, and support accurate production over time. #SpeechTherapy #SLP #ConsonantClusters #SBlends #VisualSupports

The frontal lisp trick most preschool SLPs are missing? Use their friends. When you ask a preschooler with a frontal lisp to say "seal" in isolation, you're going to get "theal." Every time. That tongue is sitting right at the front of the mouth, doing exactly what it's been doing for years. But the second you add a complex "s" blend? The whole game changes. Complex s-blend clusters give you automatic tongue retraction through assimilation. The tongue has to go up and back to make those neighboring sounds, and that position is physically incompatible with a "th" at the front of the mouth. That is the magic. This week's episode for SLPs and SLPAs breaks down the twofold trick for treating the preschool frontal lisp: ✨ Step one, get a good position ✨ Step two, let the blend do the heavy lifting No more begging a four year old to "put your tongue behind your teeth." 🎥 Tap the link in my bio and watch this week's episode on YouTube before your next articulation session.
