Initial and Final S Visual Words






I use these to work on initial and final 's' using a 'snake sound' cue.  It is helpful for reminding a student 'you forgot the snake' and for helping to diminish an extra sound.

S-Cluster Visual Phrases


My preschoolers often work on s-clusters (aka s-blends) because they are so teachable and have such an impact on intelligibility.  They also benefit from chunking their speech targets with a visual representation of each chunk. I use these often, starting with just the words (or keyword) and later adding in the 'phrase' component.

36 Core Board


After I put my 24-core vocabulary communication board to use I found there are some high-use verbs and locatives that I wanted access to for modeling and motivation.  I also added the shapes colors and numbers that are usually my first go-to for fringe! The result is this board.  Designed to be the base with a fringe-flip on the right.
