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.

Learning a new sound can be hard! Even though we didn’t practice this sound too much in isolation (I moved onto syllables and words very quickly), I think they were working so hard trying to cue themselves to use the “k” sound, that they kept saying the sound in isolation… then the rest of the word.

Saying it fast helped 👏🏼

Do you see how we had to use visuals to try to help the child HEAR the difference in the sounds by SEEING the difference?

Have you ever worked on or seen this before?

What are your thoughts about this??

Being a parent to a child with speech sound errors, I am guided by HER and how SHE FEELS about her speech.

I told myself I won’t “make her” come to therapy if she is happy with how she sounds.

Sometimes our students need to “see” what they’re doing with their tongue 👅 and then you can find the right cues that help them with new tongue placement!

Do you relate? Were you told to start an assessment speaking to the parents and getting a case history first?

That doesn’t work for me 🙃

1️⃣ We started with opening the mouth
2️⃣ Accepted a throaty sound and shaped it into a softer sound
3️⃣ Next we cued the child to say it faster 🤗

The amount of laughter we get imitating these animals as part of our oral motor assessment is soooooo good for rapport building!!

Do you send video clips to parents and carers? I’ve found it can be particularly helpful at the beginning of therapy when the child is still learning about their sounds and we want to reinforce consistent cues that work in our therapy session, in the home environment.

✅ — Phonetic Cues: In this chapter, we explore four different types of phonetic cues and demonstrate how to incorporate them to assist children in producing the /l/ sound.
✅ — Metaphor Cues: We provide colorful flashcards to help explain these meaningful, child-friendly explanations to facilitate the learning of the target sound, phonological rule, or feature that the child needs to grasp.
✅ — Gestural Cues: With real photographs, we showcase various gestures and hand movements that you or the child can utilize to facilitate a clearer production of the /l/ sound.
✅ — Shaping Cues: Building upon the sounds your child can already say, this chapter outlines how to progress through their strengths to achieve the desired /l/ sound.
✅ — Key Word Environments: This section offers word lists carefully selected to encourage and support the proper production of the /l/ sound in meaningful contexts.
⭐ OTHER HANDBOOKS IN THIS SERIES: K&G Sound Handbook and the Sh Sound Handbook.

13 reviews for L Sound Handbook | Comprehensive Elicitation Guide for SLPs

  1. Montana (verified owner) –

    I’m obsessed with the variety of cues that Rebecca provides in her handbooks! I work on the /l/ sound a lot of the time and this handbook has definitely broadened my perspective to different ways I can support my young ones to produce the sound!

  2. taelrand (verified owner) –

    This handbook is so helpful! I love the way Rebecca approaches articulation therapy. I highly recommend it. I have had a couple students with tricky L’s and this saved me!

  3. Natasha Clements (verified owner) –

    This handbook is a must have! The range of ideas is brilliant. I have been able to troubleshoot our way to success without stress

  4. Jennifer (verified owner) –

    I love these handbooks! I have purchased the /k/ & /g/, /l/ and ‘sh’. It is so helpful to have a variety of cues, elicitation techniques and word lists.

    The key word environments lists have been a huge success for children who were not responding to the other cues.

    I recommend purchasing these handbooks. They are well organised and evidenced based (provides a list of references).

  5. Becky (verified owner) –

    These handbooks are all fantastic!! They’re a must-have resource for when you feel like you’ve used up all your usual tips and tricks to elicit sounds! Rebecca has covered so much, and it is all presented so beautifully. Great quality, as always!

  6. Elizabeth M. –

    I have had so many /l/ students over the years, and I have wished for this material in the past when I’ve gotten stuck. This resource is clear, concise and is laid out in the most beautiful way. I love how Rebecca organizes the types of cues in a user friendly, easy to follow manual. It reinforces that not every cue is meant for every kid, and when something doesn’t stick, don’t get in a rut…. move on to another. I am so thankful for her hard work and effort in compiling this. I appreciate everything she does for our field and I cant wait for the next sound she releases!

  7. Mandie H. –

    This resource is phenomenal!!! WELL WORTH the money. Every SLP needs to have her handbooks and I can’t wait for Rebecca to make more!! Well-organized and comprehensive. Excellent resource

  8. Rebecca S. –

    This handbook is a go-to for working on the L sound! As a new grad, this handbook has given me so many tips and tricks to help elicit the L Sound and I have been able to help my clients master their L sounds with this. I have not used the same tip twice and there are so many that I had never thought of! 10/10 resource

  9. Jill S. –

    Thank you for creating these resources. They are invaluable for treating speech sound disorders. There are so many different cues that you’ll never run out of ideas to get accurate speech sound productions.

  10. Edna B H. –

    Everything Rebecca creates is “gold” and a must have. Such a valuable resource, full of information that you can begin using immediately!

  11. Keara D. –

    The perfect resource! I’ve learned ways to target a sound that I otherwise wouldn’t have known. Every SLP needs this resource.

  12. Rachel S. –

    Another excellent handbook filled with clear, practical ideas for therapy and many helpful elicitation tips.

  13. Judi F. –

    So comprehensive! The cueing chapters have been so helpful – we never learned this in grad school!
    Thanks so much for putting these resources together.
