What types of cues did you see us use to get a clear “ch” sound?

1️⃣ the primary cue was a gestural cue - this helped to get a strong, long sound
2️⃣ we also included some verbal feedback about “round lips”

Just another reminder about the importance of layering your cues - and how every child will require different cues!

Find all the cues to elicit the “ch” sound in the Ch & J Sound Handbook 💪🏼

My top tip is to record you explaining what you say! It makes sure everyone is on the same page 👏🏼

Day 2 of our Bjorem Cruise 👏🏼 

1️⃣ Navigating the ship was an experience in itself
2️⃣ Loved all the videos about CAS from @bjoremspeech 
3️⃣ I got to explore Nassau, Bahamas and swim in that water (and get dysregulated with loud music and hangry 😝) with my travel buddy @freetobeme.speech 
4️⃣ Bumped in to the phenomenal @speakingofsamantics team (Sam and Scott) on the boat
5️⃣ Games night was HILARIOUS! Our field cracks me up @mrsspeechiep 
6️⃣ it was just nice to “dress up” and explore the ship!

Why am I late with my Bjorem Speech Cruise recaps? Who’s got time to splice these together when you’re laughing, connecting, and gathering 100ish talkative SLPs together?!

Special mention to our keynote speaker, the incredible @phuonglienpalafox, my SLP besties @rocktherspeech, @freetobeme.speech and @mrsspeechiep - and the entire @bjoremspeech team who made this possible.

Our sponsors delivered on the goodies bags👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 @speakingofsamantics @meaviatoys @daileyeducationalservices

Whooo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 made it on board and officially checked in for the 2025 Bjorem Speech Cruise @bjoremspeech 

So excited to to connect and present with all the SLPs on board! Follow my stories for all the behind the scenes!

#bjoremspeech #adventuresinspeechpathology #speechpathologist #speechpathology
I was sleep deprived, time zone confused and a little overwhelmed at presenting in front of REAL LIFE SLPs for the first time in my career.

I love that the 2024 Bjorem Cruise 🚢 and Jen from @bjoremspeech offered me an opportunity and the right song to just make me feel like I could do this!

Can’t wait for next week!! I’ll be presenting about something I’m passionate about: getting high practice trials in speech therapy for working with SSDs.

I could keep coming up with more mini ideas… should I make a round two version?

You don’t HAVE TO ELICIT A SOUND IN ISOLATION FIRST 😅

Yep, feel that relief! You can carefully screen for possible facilitative contexts, and see if certain vowels or consonants can encourage (or facilitate) a clearer sound!

#adventuresinspeechpathology #speechsounds #speechsounddisorders #speechdelay #articulation
I’ve updated my vocabulary (part of being a Know Better, Do Better SLP).

The last one (swapping “correct” for “clear”) is a personal choice after reflecting on my own child’s speech journey.

What words have you changed?

#articulation #speechsounddisorders #speechsounds #speechdelay #schoolslp #adventuresinspeechpathology
If you child deletes the second consonant sound in a cluster, you may need to work on that smaller word chunk (e.g., “lice”), and THEN try adding the /s/ at the start to make the cluster.

Description

Are you looking for articulation cues for speech therapy that are easy to learn and remember? Learning speech sounds can be especially tough for young learners, so use these colorful and engaging animal-themed cues.

Your students will find it easy to remember the “hissing snake sound” for /s/, will love to show you their “bunny teeth” for /f/, and they’ll definitely recall to “lift their tongue” like the elephant lifts its trunk for /l/.

DOWNLOAD THIS RESOURCE IF YOU WANT:
➊–Cues that are intuitive and help children make sense of speech sounds
❷–Visuals that are big, bright, and easy to hold
❸–To help children remember speech sound cues (children REALLY connect with the animals)
❹–To support phonological awareness (many of the cards are alliterative

There are two sides to the animal – one side gives a prompt about what the child has to do with their articulators, while the other side gives a concise verbal prompt that you can use throughout therapy. Together, they provide a simple and easy-to-understand way for children to develop their speech sounds.

The best way to use these is to laminate them and stick them on craft sticks so that you have front-to-back animal speech prompts.

CONTENTS:
✅ — 22 different animal mouths
✅ — All main sounds are included: p, b, t, d, m, n, ng, w, y, r, l, h, f, s, sh, z, th, v, ch and j
✅ — Color and black and white copies provided so that students can take home, color & use
✅ — Stimulability testing form – Flashcards are also included for the purpose of stimulability testing and auditory discrimination.

  1. Lindsay Paterson (verified owner)

    These have added another layer to my cueing strategies this year. They’ve been especially helpful for my younger students who need a lot of help with listening for sounds in words and understanding correct sound production. Such an easy but effective tool to add to the toolbox when treating speech sound disorders (and phonological awareness)!!

  2. Fran (verified owner)

    These cards have been amazing during sessions. My kids love the animal illustrations and always get a kick out of them. I highly recommend them! I particularly like the phonetic cues 🙂

  3. Lora G. (verified owner)

    These are so cute! The bunny teeth for /f/ and the elephant for /l/ are my favorites. I laminated and glued them to popsicle sticks for visuals and my students love them!”

  4. Rebecca B. (verified owner)

    My clients loved the animal faces and especially loved feeding the animals. It keeps kids motivated and attending to tasks. I have used this resource is such a time saver and doesn’t take long to prepare. I have been able to use it in a number of different ways already

  5. Hannah L. (verified owner)

    Absolutely love this resource! The pictures of the animals are so cute and my students find them really engaging. They provide great descriptions for the sounds and really support my students in achieving their goals. I use this resource almost daily.

  6. Nicole C. (verified owner)

    My preschoolers love these animal sound cue cards! The animal metaphor has been a great tool that really helps the sounds “stick.”

  7. Brooke L. (verified owner)

    My patients love these visuals during articulation sessions, especially my younger patients. Also love that I can send copies home to support parents in carryover and at home practice.

  8. Rachel S. (verified owner)

    These visuals are helpful for sound metaphors and so fun for the kids. Really helps them focus and remember how their sounds are made.

  9. Hannah W. (verified owner)

    Very engaging concepts and illustrations – especially for younger children. A great addition to my toolbox when eliciting new sounds.

  10. kwhisler (verified owner)

    I use these every week in my elementary-based SLP position! The visuals are so helpful and fun for my students! I am so glad I bought these in addition to the speech sound mouth picture cues. Makes a great pair!

  11. Miranda (verified owner)

    Parent review (not a speechie!) I found adventures in speech on Instagram and I knew my son would love the animal cue cards. I loved the video explanation by Rebecca about how she uses them in clinic. We have used them daily for the past 4 weeks and I have noticed increased clarity in my son’s speech and the whole family now knows about popping penguins and babbling birds.
