Phonology and Phonological Processes Resources – Speech Activities:

These speech activities are helpful for children who are working on learning to use an entire class of sounds.  A phonological process is when a child has developed a rule for how to simplify speech.  For example, “final consonant deletion” is a rule that says that all consonants at the ends of words will be removed.  This rule is helpful when a child is young and not able to say many sounds together yet.  However, once a child turns three, we expect them to stop using this phonological process.  These freebies will help you work on this phonological process along with other phonology skills.

  • Final Consonant Deletion Worksheets
  • Initial Consonant Deletion Word Pairs (Lists of Minimal Pairs, No Pictures)
  • Initial Consonant Deletion Worksheets (With Pictures)

Carry-Over/Generalization – Speech Activities:

Once the child has learned to say a new speech sound in therapy or structured speech activities, it’s time to help them remember to say those sounds correctly all of the time during conversation.  These freebies will help you teach and encourage a child to produce those speech sounds correctly throughout the day.

Carrie Clark, Speech-Language Pathologist

About the Author: Carrie Clark, MA CCC-SLP

Hi, I’m Carrie! I’m a speech-language pathologist from Columbia, Missouri, USA. I’ve worked with children and teenagers of all ages in schools, preschools, and even my own private practice. I love digging through the research on speech and language topics and breaking it down into step-by-step plans for my followers.

Fun Fact: My favorite nickname given to me by a client was Scary.  He heard me say I was “Miss Carrie” but didn’t quite get the /mI/ part so he decided my name was “Scary”.  He even said it in a spooky voice to complete the vibe.  It was hilarious!  What’s your favorite name given to you by a client?
