"S" Speech Practice

Hear-and-Say Series (digital)
By Char Boshart and Mary Jutila

A child may produce a strong /s/ in isolation or structured tasks—but carrying that accuracy into everyday conversation is often the real challenge. True generalization requires consistent, repeated practice in the right contexts.

The “S” Speech Practice (Audio), Hear-and-Say Series is designed to accelerate carryover through structured, context-driven listening and speaking activities. By pairing targeted Lesson Lists with clear auditory models, this resource helps children hear correct productions, practice with intention, and build the movement memory needed for consistent conversational speech.

• Improve accuracy through consistent auditory modeling
