Description
Learning speech sounds can be especially tough for young learners! These colorful and engaging Animal Speech Sound Prompts are the perfect addition to your therapy resources as a fun way to encourage your little articulation kids to say and remember their sounds.
There are two sides to the animal – one side gives a prompt about what the child has to do with their articulators (e.g. ‘stick your tongue between your teeth and blow ‘th’) while the other side gives a concise verbal prompt that you can use throughout therapy (e.g. ‘cooling polar bear sound ‘th’). Together, they provide a simple and easy 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.⭐
Flashcards are also included for the purposes of stimulability testing and even auditory discrimination – or you may use these as special sound reminders for your students.
=====================================
CONTENTS:
✅ — 22 different animal mouths (doubled – so really 44 in total as one mouth has a short prompt, one mouth has a long prompt)
✅ — 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
✅ — 22 animal mouth flashcards that can be used for stimulability testing

9 reviews for Speech Sound Animal Cue Cards for Articulation
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)!!

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 🙂

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!”

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

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.

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

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.
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.

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