Good Reads

I am in the process of adding children's books to a website http://www.goodreads.com/ that enables me to create bookshelves. These bookshelves house books that include target sounds for auditory bombardment and articulation practice. You will find shelves for target sounds for the preschool population: "K" - "G" - "T" - "D" - "B" - "P" - "W" - "M" - "F". Remember this is just in the development stages so there are only a few books listed...I will post updates as I add books to the shelves.

For example, you will find that the book Duck Soup targets the "p" sound quite well and the book Come Back, Cat targets the "k" sound. Look for your child's sound....it should be on a bookshelf! Enjoy!

Above all, make it fun!

Create a Collage!







An additional activity for you to complete with your child is to create a collage. You can assist him or her in looking for and cutting pictures from magazines to then be glued onto a piece of paper. Emphasize the beginning sound as you glue the picture on. Have your child repeat the sound or word. Model and emphasize the sound again. For additional practice, have your child share their creation with other family members and neighbors. Above all, make it fun!
Here are a few samples of what a collage may look like!
