Animal Speech Sound Cue Cards for Articulation
$10.00
These Animal Speech Sound Cues for Articulation are an easy way to encourage your articulation kids to remember their new sounds. With two different prompts per sound, and colorful and engaging visuals, these cues are a fun and practical reminder tool. There are also flashcards with the same great visuals, and a black and white version of the resource too. With so many options, these cues can be used in so many different ways!
Description
Does your child have difficulties saying their speech sounds and you just need child-friendly, easy to learn cues that are actually appealing? Learning speech sounds can be especially tough for young learners, so this set of 22 engaging, animal-themed pictures are particularly memorable!
Watch their faces light up when they remember the “hissing snake sound” for /s/, proudly demonstrate their “bunny teeth” for /f/, and confidently “lift their tongue” like an elephant’s trunk for /l/. These intuitive, colorful cues turn complex speech concepts into fun adventures that are meaningful for children.
Love this super cute resource. I have found it a wonderful way to engage parents too. When I use this resource, I find that the parents tend to refer to the ‘bunny sound’ etc which enables greater transference of learning from sessions with me, to home too.
DOWNLOAD THIS RESOURCE IF YOU WANT:
➊– Two sets of x22 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 versions to the animal cues – one set names the cues (e.g., top toeing tiger sound) while the other set tells you what to say to your child (e.g., tap your tongue behind your top front teeth to make ‘t’). Together, they provide a simple and easy-to-understand way for children to develop their speech sounds.
⭐ PREPARATION TIP: Try laminating and sticking the picture cues on craft sticks so that they’re eays to hold

What SLP’s like you are saying:
“These are my FAVOURITE visuals. I love that I can use these not only as a reminder of what sound to target, but also a visual representation of what I don’t want my kiddos to say. The cues and the names of the sounds too make it easy for my kids to learn and remember their sounds.”
“These visuals are helpful for sound metaphors and so fun for the kids. Really helps them focus and remember how their sounds are made.”
“This has been a go-to resource for me! I use it in so many ways- attached to home practice materials, for speech sound instruction, as cues for what I heard vs the sound I should hear, etc. My students learn the cues quickly and we all love the graphics! “

Not every cue works for every kid, so it’s nice to have some tricks up my sleeves. For the younger crowd, these work great! I use them in person and virtually.

More than expected
I thought this resource would just be the animal cues… but there was more than I expected in this resource. There’s a Stimulability Probe Sheet for Tracking, a YouTube Clip to show how to use these animals cues and they come in both colour and black and white! Love this resource.

Not only cute and great reminders for the kids, but also for the SLP! Articulation can be tricky, so it’s always helpful to have a new visual to associate with sounds.
