I have always found the /sh/ sound that but more tricky to elicit, especially with my lateral young ones, but this handbook provides so much insight into a variety of ways of teaching and targeting the /sh/ sound. I can’t wait for the rest of the series!

This resource is an absolute game-changer for speech therapists and let me tell you why!
First and foremost, the price point is unbeatable. At ~32 cents a page (I counted about 56 usable/informational pages. At full price, ~45 cents a page), it offers incredible value for the quality and effectiveness it delivers. It’s budget-friendly, making it accessible to a wide range of users who are looking to improve articulation skills in a fun and engaging way. I don’t know about you but I know there are many resources I’ve purchased at almost $1 a page! Plus … what speech sound disorder book has THIS MUCH information?!
I love the included screener with pictures. The visual cues are incredibly helpful for both the therapist and the child, making it easier to understand and practice the sound correctly.
What sets this resource apart is the thoughtfully designed checkboxes next to each cue. These checkboxes create a clear and structured path for tracking progress. As the child successfully practices each “sh” sound given the cue, you can easily mark it off to track if the cue worked, if they had some success, or if the cue did not work.
Another invaluable aspect is the reproducible pages included in this resource. Being able to make multiple copies of the practice materials is a tremendous advantage. It ensures that therapists can continue to reinforce the “sh” sound over time, tailor exercises to individual needs, and use the resource for multiple children on their caseload without the worry of running out of materials.
This speech therapy resource for the “sh” sound is a must-have for anyone involved in speech therapy. Its budget-friendly price point, the inclusion of visual cues, convenient checkboxes, and reproducible pages make it an outstanding choice. It simplifies the process of working on articulation and I can’t recommend it highly enough!
