Description

Do you need something in your toolkit to help you teach those tricky phonological errors? Are you looking for a way to transition from isolation to word-level when nothing else has worked? Are your students inserting a stop sound AFTER their fricative and you just don’t know what to do?

This little trick goes by a few names, but it’s most commonly referred to as the ‘h insertion trick’. It is where you insert a “h” sound or word to help say your child’s target sound in a word. The idea is not to fully isolate the initial sound from the word (“s-hun”), but to slowly reduce the gap between the end of the initial sound and the start of the “h” word such as “sssssshun”, “sshun”, “sun”.

Who can you use this for?

STOPPING: ✅ — It can be helpful for those students who can say their target sound in isolation, but continue to ‘stop’ the airflow so that “fan” is produced as “fban” and “soup” is said as “stoup” or “sdoup”.

VOICING: ✅ — You might also find that this trick works well for students who are voicing a voiceless plosive at the start of their words.

OTHER IDEAS: ✅ — I haven’t personally used this for fronting or backing, but I have received feedback from SLPs who state that this trick has been useful for them to elicit the ‘k’ and ‘t’ sounds before proceeding to contrast therapy.
