Sound symbol games with speech targets
Required: Alphabet cards and game boards
Place out 6 speech cards in front of each child or choose a speech target
bingo board. The cards should include each child’s speech target word
plus some distracter items. For example, if the child’s speech target is /st/
consonant cluster words, select 3 /st /cluster speech cards plus 3 words
that start with letters that are visually distinct from s and each other (e.g.,
m f and p speech cards) as used on the bingo boards in this file.
“Yes you’ve picked up the letter s, s makes a /s/ sound. Do you have any words on
your board that start with the letter s that makes a /s/ sound”. Hold the letter s
under each word for visual matching if necessary. Child labels “stem stop star” and
is encouraged to articulate the words accurately as appropriate to speech
articulation goals.
