Sound Tales: Sonny Says S
Description
This book from the Sound Tales Series is geared towards helping children learn how to articulate and read the most difficult consonant sounds.
This book was created for teachers, speech pathologists, parents, and kids!
The book utilizes evidence-based practices that are employed in speech therapy sessions and early education classrooms to create a resource that anyone can benefit from. This book provides a fun and interactive story that helps Pre-K and early elementary aged children learn how to make the S sound as well as discriminate S from other sounds. By using these methods, kids improve articulation and literacy skills at the same time!
The following evidence-based practices are applied:
Auditory Bombardment:
The child listens to a target sound over and over in a variety of contexts, but is not required to repeat the sound. Auditory Bombardment is a listening task that eliminates the pressure of verbal imitation.
Minimal Pairs and Phoneme Substitution:
A minimal pair is a set of two words that are the same except for one sound (not one letter, one sound). This is similar to rhyming, but the sound can be present anywhere in the word. When children use minimal pairs, they improve their ability to hear the difference between sounds, as well as understand the impact that different sounds can have on word meaning. Minimal pairs also help develop phonemic awareness skills through a practice called phoneme substitution. As children figure out the secret message, they are actually practicing minimal pairs and phoneme substitution.
Visual Feedback:
Visual feedback is when a child is able to physically see a result of their attempts at sound production. In this book, the use of a mirror helps kids make sure that their tongue is not sticking out while trying to make an S sound.
