This resource was created by Australian speech language pathologist Lucia Smith. Originally intended for use solely in articulation and phonological therapy (speech therapy), it was soon being used by many schools in early literacy programs. The Speech Sound Set© was found to spark young students’ interest in speech sounds and was a great adjunct to phonemic awareness tasks. Many teachers also commented that using the program increased their knowledge of sounds too. For this reason, over the years, many literacy components were added to the program, some which weren’t very relevant for the speech pathologists working in speech sound disorders with young children. It was time for a change… The latest release of The Speech Sound Set © sees the resource being made available in several similar but differing versions. There is now a version that is relevant for preschools/young children and a version that includes initial literacy programming (first year of formal schooling), one for more advanced literacy programming and a version solely for speech intervention (with no explicit literacy components). There is a “COMPLETE” version too that includes everything! See the overview on the next page. A BOTTOMUP APPROACH: All the materials, activities and suggestions within the program have been created to assist in developing a deep understanding of sounds, letters and words from a new learner’s perspective. This comes after many years of working with individuals and exploring why errors and confusion take place. MULTISENSORY LEARNING: The program also caters for a range of learning types. Its teaching is truly “multisensory”. RESEARCHBASED: The program is based on evidencebased theories relating to sound development, phonological intervention and literacy development. KIDS LOVE THE SPEECH SOUND SET – I HOPE YOU DO TOO! Lucia Smith There are several different versions of the current Speech Sound Set that you can choose from. Check out the what’s covered on each CDRom on the next page. The sound characters in this program are referred to as Sound Buddies!

Overview  of  each    

 Speech  Sound  Set    

 

There’s an app that uses the Speech Sound Set© characters. Explore and contrast 22 consonant sounds in sound and word activities (production and listening).

See “SPEECH SOUNDS FOR KIDS” in the iTunes store. There’s a free “lite” version to check out first!

This  resource  was  created  by  Australian  speech  language  pathologist  Lucia  Smith.  Originally  intended  for  use  solely  in  articulation  and  phonological  therapy  (speech  therapy),  it  was  soon  being  used  by  many  schools  in  early  literacy  programs.  The  Speech  Sound  Set©  was  found  to  spark  young  students’  interest  in  speech  sounds  and  was  a  great  adjunct  to  phonemic  awareness  tasks.  Many  teachers  also  commented  that  using  the  program  increased  their  knowledge  of  sounds  too.        For  this  reason,  over  the  years,  many  literacy  components  were  added  to  the  program,  some  which  weren’t  very  relevant  for  the  speech  pathologists  working  in  speech  sound  disorders  with  young  children.  It  was  time  for  a  change…  

The  latest  release  of  The  Speech  Sound  Set  ©  sees  the  resource  being  made  available  in  several  similar  but  differing  versions.  There  is  now  a  version  that  is  relevant  for  preschools/young  children    and  a  version  that  includes  initial  literacy  programming  (first  year  of  formal  schooling),    one  for  more  advanced  literacy  programming  and  a  version  solely  for  speech  intervention  (with  no  explicit  literacy  components).  There  is  a  “COMPLETE”  version  too  that  includes  everything!    See  the  overview  on  the  next  page.    

A  BOTTOM-­‐UP  APPROACH:    All  the  materials,  activities  and  suggestions  within  the  program  have  been  created  to  assist  in  developing  a  deep  understanding    of  sounds,  letters  and  words  from  a  new  learner’s  perspective.  This  comes  after  many  years  of  working  with  individuals  and  exploring  why  errors  and  confusion  take  place.    MULTISENSORY  LEARNING:    The  program  also  caters  for  a  range  of  learning  types.  Its  teaching  is  truly  “multi-­‐sensory”.    RESEARCH-­‐BASED:    The  program  is  based  on  evidence-­‐based  theories  relating  to  sound  development,  phonological  intervention  and  literacy  development.                                                                                                                            KIDS  LOVE  THE  SPEECH  SOUND  SET  –  I  HOPE  YOU  DO  TOO!

THE  SPEECH  SOUND  SET  MANUAL     www.pelicantalk.com

   

Getting  Started  

Before  you  begin  using  the  Speech  Sound  Set  ©,  it  is  a  good  idea  to  have  a  little  explore.      

Open  the  “RESOURCES”  folder  on  your  CD-­‐Rom.  In  this  you  will  find  many  more  folders.                      Open  each  to  explore  what  lies  within.  Remember  that  unless  you  have  the  SPEECH  SOUND  SET  –  COMPLETE  SET,  not    everything  in  the  manuals  will  be  included  on  your  CD-­‐Rom.      

VIEWING  FILES:    You  will  require  software  to  view  the  following  file  types.    Most  computers  come  with  this  already  installed  and  if  not,  they  are  free  to  download.    The  files  can  be  opened  on  Mac  and  PCs.    Files  can  also  be  sent  to  tablets  (eg.  iPads)  and  interactive  whiteboards  (eg.  Smart  Boards)  and  viewed  this  way.    

The  file  types  are:    

JPEG  (picture  files)  used  in:      COLOUR  JPEG  IMAGES  –  LARGE,  PHOTO-­‐PRINTING  

MP3  (audio  files)  used  in:      HEAR  THE  SOUNDS,  FOCUSED  AUDITORY  STIMULATION  

MP4    (video  files)  used  in:    HAND  SOUNDS  

PDF  (documents)  used  in:    ALL  OTHER  PRINTABLE  GUIDES,  BOOKLETS,  WORKSHEETS,  FLASHCARDS  

 

PRINTING  FILES:  Printing  is  generally  straight  forward.    A  few  notes…  

 

 

 

The  picture  files  in  the  folder  “COLOUR  JPEG  IMAGES  –  LARGE”  are  the  best  quality  images  on  your  CD-­‐ROM.    These  can  be  used  for  viewing  on  an  interactive  whiteboard  and  for  inserting  into  your  own  documents  that  you  may  wish  to  create.    You  can  even  make  posters!  

In  the  folder  PHOTO-­‐PRINTING  are  JPEG  images  in  a  format  ready  for  photo-­‐printing  .  You  can  copy  these  images  to  a  flash  drive  and  take  them  to  a  photo-­‐printing  shop.  This  provides  an  economical  way  of  printing  sets  of  cards  for  your  class  or  clients.    

As  a  condition  of  copyright,  some  print-­‐outs  require  the  licensee’s  number  to  be  written  by  hand  before  distribution  or  duplication  (photocopying).    See  COPYRIGHT  CONDITIONS  at  the  end  of  this  manual.  

 

When  printing  PDFs,  some  printers  require  the  box                                  “PRINT  AS  IMAGE”  selected  in  Print  Options.

THE  SPEECH  SOUND  SET  MANUAL     www.pelicantalk.com    

Contents  of  the  Resources  THE  SOUND  BUDDIES      

The  Speech  Sound  Set©  program  is  developed  around  a  set  of  characters  called  Sound  Buddies.  In  the  Starter  Set  and  School  Set  1,  29  Sound  Buddies  are  explored.  These  include  all  of  the  consonant  sounds,  of  English  and  five  short  vowel  sounds  (the  sounds  represented  by  Andy  Apple,  Energetic  Edna,  Itchy  Iggy,  Orange  Octopus  and  Upset  Uncle).    In  the  School  Set  2,  these  first  five  vowels  are  referred  to  as  the  “Starter  Vowels.”    Please  note  that  these  are  not  the  first  five  vowels  to  emerge  in  speech  development,  but  the  first  five  vowel  sounds  usually  explored  in  literacy.  In  the  School  Set  2,  Speech  Set  and  Complete  Set,  a  further  15  vowel  and  diphthong  sounds  are  explored  using  another  set  of  Sound  Buddies.  In  total  there  are  44  sound  buddies.    

It  is  important  for  the  teacher  to  be  sure  of  the  sound  that  each  Sound  Buddy  represents.  A  Cheat  Sheet  is  provided    (See  CHEAT  SHEETS  folder)  along  with  an  audio  

clip  for  each  sound  (See  HEAR  THE  SOUNDS  folder).  

The  Sound  Buddies  are  simply  “sound  linkage  pictures”  and  are  used  to  develop  an  interest  in  and  an  awareness  of  specific  speech  sounds.  (Later  in  school  years,  children  learn  to  link  sounds  to  letters,  so  the  pictures  are  no  longer  vital,  but  in  early  years  of  learning,  they  are  invaluable).    Sound  linkage  pictures  have  been  used  in  speech  therapy  for  years  and  are  also  used  in  many  early  literacy  programs  too.  They  create  “a  valuable  way  of  representing  phonemes  in  an  accessible  way”1  (Hesketh  et  al,  2007).  The  advantage  of  The  Speech  Sound  Set’s  pictures  (the  Sound  Buddies)  is  not  only  do  they  have  a  meaningful  link  to  the  sound  (eg.  Munching  Mama  enjoys  her  cookies  and  says  “mmmmm”),  but  each  of  them  has  been  illustrated  so  their  mouths  represent  the  mouthshape  required    to  make  the  sound.  This  is    a  feature  unique  to  The  Speech  Sound  Set  ©.  In  other  words,  our  sound  linkage  pictures  show  the  position  of  the  “articulators”  (mouth,  teeth,  tongue,  lips).        

Knowing  and  practising  the  articulation  (phonetic  placement)  for  sounds,  is  important  for  speech  therapy  and  literacy  programming.    For  some,  it  is  used  in  the  early  stages  of  therapy  only  but  for  others  (who  may  have  a  very  small  repertoire  of  sounds),  it  may  be  a  major  part.    In  all  cases,  the  ultimate  goal  is  producing  the  sounds  correctly  in  words  but  to  do  this,  an  awareness  of  how  to  produce  the  individual  speech  sounds  correctly  is  required.      Articulatory  awareness  activities  (those  that  promote  an  understanding  of  the  articulation  required  for  each  sound)  have  been  shown  to  be  extremely  beneficial  in  literacy  programs  for  children  with  dyslexia  (Joly-­‐Pottuz,  2007).  2                                                                                                                                So  let’s  explore  the  Sound  Buddies…!  

  Note:    Some  articulatory  positions  are  very  tricky  to  illustrate  from  the  external  view  (such  as  Red  Rex’s  articulation  of  /r/).    In  this  case  the  student  may  rely  more  on  the  meaning  cues  of  the  picture,    such  as  linking  the  /r/  sound  to  the  concept  of  a  growling  dog.

THE  SPEECH  SOUND  SET  MANUAL     www.pelicantalk.com

SOUND  STORIES  

Each  Sound  Buddy  and  their  sound  is  explored  using  a  SOUND  STORY  (see  SOUND  STORIES  booklet/folder).    The  booklet  is  a  resource  that  is  to  be  used  by  the  teacher.  The  teacher  should  read  from  the  book  while  showing  a  big  image  of  the  Sound  Buddy  being  studied.  Sound  Stories  should  be  delivered  in  the  initial  stage  of  sound  exploration  for  both  speech  therapy  and  for  literacy  learning.  

Each  sound  story  relates  the  Sound  Buddy  to  the  sound  it  represents.  

Meaning  Links:  The  story  encourages  the  student  to  create  a  “meaning  link”  between  the  sound  and  the  identity    of  the  Sound  Buddy.    

Letter  Links:    In  the  School  Set  1  and  the  Starter  Set,  attention  should  be  drawn  to  the  letter  that  appears  on  the  Sound  Buddies’  pictures.    This  helps  students  develop  sound-­‐letter  links.                                    In  School  Set  2,  a  letter  for  each  vowel  is  NOT  written  on  the  Sound  Buddy’s  picture.  This  is  because  a  vowel  sound’s  letter-­‐links  are  generally  too  varied.  Instead,  for  the  vowel  sounds,  each  Sound  Buddy’s  Sound  Stories  make  reference  to  just  one  common  letter  link.  These  can  be  written  by  the  teacher  on  the  board  as  they  tell  the  story.    

Feature  Links:    Each  sound’s  features  are  written  along  the  blue  bar.    This  bar  serves  to  direct  a  teacher’s  exploration  of  a  sound  and  can  be  useful  in  thinking  about  why  errors  may  be  occurring  with  certain  sounds  (in  speech  or  in  spelling).    

In  the  Starter  Set  and  School  Set  1,  consonants  and  the  first  five  vowels  are  classified    by  the  following  features:    

EARLY  or    MID  or  LATE:  This  refers  to  whether  the  sounds  develop  early  (or  mid)  or  late  in  a  child’s  speech.  Refer  to  the  folder  INCREASING  YOUR  KNOWLEDGE  OF  SOUNDS  and  view  the  DEVELOPMENTAL  SEQUENCE  OF  SOUND  PRODUCTION.    

SHORT  or  LONG              VOICE  ON  or  VOICE  OFF              ORAL  OR  NASAL        These  refer  to  articulatory  features  of  the  sounds.  Read  more  about  these  in  the    SOUND  FEATURES  document  in  INCREASING  YOUR  KNOWLEDGE  OF  SOUNDS.    

In  the    Complete  Set  and  School  Set  2  ,  the  vowel  sounds  are  classified    by  the  following  features:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        CLOSED-­‐  OPEN              ROUNDED-­‐UNROUNDED              FRONT-­‐CENTRAL-­‐BACK      SHORT-­‐LONG-­‐DIPHTHONG                                These  refer  to  articulatory  features  of  the  sounds.  Read  more  about  these  in  the    SOUND  FEATURES  document  in  INCREASING  YOUR  KNOWLEDGE  OF  SOUNDS.

SOUND  STORIES  continued  

SSS  Tips:  The  tips  in  the  bottom  left  corner  are  to  assist  teachers  in  helping  students  say  each  sound  if  they  are  finding  it  difficult.    Remember  that  some  sounds  are    just  too  tricky  for  young  mouths.  Refer  to  DEVELOPMENTAL  SEQUENCE  OF  SOUND  PRODUCTION  if  unsure,  or  consult  a  speech  pathologist.    

SSS  Play:    Under  this  heading  are  ideas  that  promote  exploration  and  through  this,  a  deeper  understanding  of  the  target  sound’s  features.  Students  usually  love  doing  this.  

Sound  Pair:    Some  consonant  sounds  have  a  pair.  If  so,  the  Sound  Buddy  pair  appears  in  the  top  right  corner  of  the  Sound  Story  page.  It  is  important  to  learn  about  Sound  Pairs.    Learn  more  by  reading  CONSONANT  PAIRS  in  the  INCREASING  YOUR  KNOWLEDGE  OF  SOUNDS  folder.    

Vowel  Sound/Diphthong:    In  the  Starter  Set  and  School  Set  1,  the  five  vowels  are  labelled  as  “VOWELS”  (see  the  top  left  star).    

Diphthongs  are  explored  in  School  Set  2  and  the  Complete  Set.  They  are  labelled  as  “DIPHTHONGS”    (see  the  top  left  star).    

Name  Same:    Some  Sound  Buddies  make  a  sound  that  is  the  same  as  the  name  of  a  letter  that  can  also  make  their  sound.    Confused?    This  is  only  important  when  it  comes  to  spelling.  Read  more  in  the  MAKING  SENSE  OF  SPELLING-­‐HOW  TO  USE  THESE  GUIDES.  

Compare:    The  Sound  Buddies  that  are  pictured  in  the  Compare  section  (bottom  right)  make  sounds  that  are  sometimes  substituted  for  the  target  sound  in  speech,  or  confused    with  the  target  sound  when  sounding-­‐out  (for  spelling).    It’s  a  great  idea  to  compare  the  sounds  and  discuss  how  they  are  different  or  similar.    To  compare  sounds  properly,  both  Sound  Stories  will  need  to  be  read.    

 

NOTE:    The  Sound  Stories    for  the  consonant  Sound  Buddies  appear  as  short  animated  films  in  the  SPEECH  SOUNDS  FOR  KIDS  iPad  app  (except  for  Zsa  Zsa  Alien  and  Ding  Dong  Duck)      

Children  learn  about  the  sounds  watching  these  cute  animated  clips.  A  selection  of  these  can  be  viewed  on  Pelican  Talk’s  YouTube  channel.

HAND  SOUNDS  

Video  clips  of  each  Hand  Sound  can  be  viewed  by  opening  the  HAND  SOUND  folder.    

You  will  also  find  a  document  called  Hand  Sounds  –  Instructions.  This  contains  descriptions  of  each  Hand  Sound  and  some  information  about  their  use.  Print  it  out  or  send  it  to  an  iPad  or  tablet  as  a  handy  reference.  

A  Hand  Sound  is  simply  a  gestural  cue  that  is  beneficial  for  many  students.    Research  suggests  that  a  gestural  cue  can  help  in  the  learning  ,  remembering    and  execution  of  verbal  information.  For  some  students,  using  the  Hand  Sound  in  the  sound-­‐learning  phase  will  help  them  later  access  its  correct  production.  It  can  also  help  them  transfer  the  sound  production  to  words.  For  some  students  with  developmental  dyspraxia  (CAS),  gestural  cues  are  an  essential  part  of  therapy  See  MANUAL  PART  FOUR.  

In  spelling  tasks,    Hand  Sounds  can  help  students  identify  the  sound  (and  the  associated  letter)  that  they  hear  in  a  word.  It’s  a  way  of  self-­‐cueing.  See  MANUAL  PART  THREE.    

Hand  Sounds    can  also  be  used  by  an  adult  to  “show”  the  student  “where”  their  tricky  sound  is  required  in  a  word.    For  example,  in  a  word  task,    a  child  might  say  “sell”  for  “shell”.  The  adult  could  say  “Hmm,  is  that    sell  ?”  as  they  model  the  Hand  Sound  for  Sammy  Snake.    “Or  is  it  shell?”  as  they  do  the  Sharna  Shoosh  Hand  Sound.        

A  Hand  Sound  can  also  be  used  as  a  handy  and  non-­‐intrusive  reminder  for  the  child  to  correct  an  incorrect  sound  production.    For  example,  if  a  child  said  “dap”  for  “gap”,  the  adult  might  simply  do  the  Hand  Sound  for  Gulping  Gary  to  prompt  the  child  to  self-­‐correct.  

Users  of  this  program  –  both  teachers  and  students  –  are  encouraged  to  learn  and  use  the  Hand  Sounds  when  making  the  sounds  in  isolation  or  in  words.  They  can  be  faded  when  they  are  no  longer  needed.    

Other  gesture  systems  such  as  Cued  Articulation(Passy,  2010)3  can  be  used  in  place  of  the  Hand  Sounds  if  this  is  the  preference  of  the  teacher.      

START  SOUND  PICTURES  

These  pictures  can  be  used  in  speech  pathology  intervention  (speech  therapy)  and  also  in  early  literacy  tasks  to  promote  first  sound  identification.  There  are  six  coloured  pictures  for  each  sound  (except  for  Zsa  Zsa  Alien,  Ding  Dong  Duck  and  The  Echidna).  The  vowel  sounds  are  provided  as  handy  contrasts  and  as  a  page  of  mixed  pictures.    

MORE  SOUND  PICTURES  (vowels,  blends,  consonants  –  start  /final)  are  available  in  the  resource  “The  Speechie’s  Ultimate  Picture  Library”  from  Pelican  Talk.    Minimal  Pair  pictures  (for  contrasting  sounds)  are  provided  in  “Minimal  Pairs  to  the  Max”  from  Pelican  Talk.  See  the  website.

THE  SPEECH  SOUND  SET  MANUAL     www.pelicantalk.com

PICTURES  OF  SOUND  BUDDIES  

The  Sound  Buddy  pictures  are  provided  in  a  number  of  formats.  These  include:    

Flashcards.    Depending  on  need,  these  can  be  printed  as  a  set  of  mixed  flashcards  or  as  a  set  of  the  same  (DUPLICATE  FLASHCARDS).    The  mixed  flashcards  are  also  provided  with  blackline  illustrations  for  economical  printing.  

Photo-­‐Printing:  In  the  folder  PHOTO-­‐PRINTING  are  JPEG  images  in  a  format  ready  for  photo-­‐printing  .  You  can  copy  these  images  to  a  flash  drive  and  take  them  to  a  photo-­‐printing  shop.  This  provides  an  economical  way  of  printing  sets  of  cards  for  your  class  or  clients.    

Large  Colour  Pic  Books:  These  PDF  documents  contain  large  colour  pictures.  It  allows  for  easy  printing  (no  resizing  needed).    

Colour-­‐ins:  These  PDF  documents  contain  large  blackline  pictures.  They  make  great  colour-­‐ins.  

Colour  JPEG  Images  -­‐  Large:    These  are  the  best  quality  images  on  your  CD-­‐ROM.    These  can  be  used  for  viewing  on  an  interactive  whiteboard  and  for  inserting  into  your  own  documents  that  you  may  wish  to  create.    You  can  even  make  posters!  

FOCUSED  AUDITORY  STIMULATION    

For  each    sound  in  the  Starter  Set  and  School  Set  1,  there  is  an  audio  file    for  each  Sound  Buddy.  Open  this  file  to  hear  a  list  of  words  beginning  with  the  target  sound.  The  student  is  required  only  to  listen  to  the  words  in  a  quiet  environment.    The  student  might  be  encouraged  to  close  their  eyes.    This  activity  is  based  on  what  is  known  to  speech  pathologists  (speech  language  therapists)  as  Auditory  Bombardment  or  more  lately  Focused  Auditory  Stimulation.    When  children  listen  to  targeted  word  lists,  it  is  proposed  that  children  develop  strong    “auditory  images”    of  the  sounds  in  words,  thus  allowing  them  to  learn  to  monitor  incorrect  productions.  4  This  activity  can  begin  and  end  a  therapy  session  or  may  be  set  for  “homework”.      

Some  children,  after  practising  production  tasks,  may  start  to  copy  the  words  as  the  list  is  played.  In  the  early  stages  of  therapy,  however,  it  should  simply  be  a  listening  task.  

WORD  LISTS      

Word  lists  (written)  are  provided  for  every  sound  in  the  School  Set  2,  Speech  Set  and  the  Complete  Set.  These  words  are  arranged  by  shared  spelling  (Letter  Options).  They  are  a  very  handy  teacher  reference  to  be  used  when  exploring  spelling  patterns.    These  WORD  LISTS  can  also  be  read  to  students  as  a  “focused  auditory  stimulation”  listening  activity  or  used  for  practising  specific  sounds  in  speech  therapy.      

You  may  notice  that  there  are  some  additional  “teeth  together”  Sammy  Snake  pictures  provided  in  the  

COLOUR  FLASHCARDS  –  DUPLICATES  and  the  

COLOUR  JPEG  IMAGES  –  LARGE.    These  are  provided  for  speech  therapy  purposes  when  

working  with  students  who  are  lisping.  

Sometimes,  practising  this  sound  with  “teeth  together”  can  help  with  correct  tongue  placement.  See  

MANUAL  PART  FOUR.

THE  SPEECH  SOUND  SET  MANUAL     www.pelicantalk.com

ALPHABET  CHART                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Two  charts  are  provided  –  one  using  a  standard  lowercase  font  (for  reading)  and  the  other,  Victorian  Cursive  (for  spelling  in  Vic).    A  chart  can  be  sent  home  with  students  and  also  laminated  and  used  as  tabletop  guides  in  the  first  year  of  school.    Basic  sound-­‐letter  links  are  promoted  using  these  charts.                              Two  letters  explaining  the  charts  may  also  included  in  this  folder  (one  for  preschool  years  and  one  for  school  starters).  Sending  this  home  along  with  the  chart  helps  parents  and  carers  support  their  child’s  understanding  of  early  letter  and  sound  concepts.    

MAKING  SENSE  OF  SPELLING      

These  guides  are  for  teachers.  They  are  not  intended  as  student  resources.    Using  the  guides  allows  a  Sound  Buddy’s  sound  to  be  explored  in  relation  to  its  letter  links  (in  this  program  called  “Letter  Options”  and  otherwise  known  as  “graphemes.”)    It  is  important  that  users  of  these  guides  first  read  the  document:    MAKING  SENSE  OF  SPELLING-­‐HOW  TO  USE  THESE  GUIDES.  

LETTER  FLASHCARDS  

In  the  FLASHCARDS  folder  is  a  set  of  letter  cards  that  match  the  size  of  the  Sound  Buddy  flashcards.                    In  the  School  Set  1,  only  basic  letter-­‐links  are  provided  (lowercase  and  capital).    In  the  Complete  Set  and  School  Set  -­‐2,  a  complete  set  is  provided  (lowercase).  These  can  be  used  in  a  fun  matching  game!  See  MANUAL  PART  THREE.  

LETTER  OPTIONS    

These  booklets  have  a  Sound  Buddy  on  each  page  with  a  number  of  boxes.  Each  box  is  headed  with  a  common  Letter  Option    (grapheme)  for  the  sound.  A  word  example  is  provided  in  each  box  and  some  have  quick  tips  too.    The  size  of  the  box  roughly  correlates  with  the  frequency  that  the  Letter  Option  is  used  for  the  target  sound.  Not  all  Letter  Options  are  presented  on  each  page  and  in  this  case,  words  containing  other  Letter  Options  can  be  written  outside  the  boxes.    

These  booklets  can  be  reproduced  for  each  student  and  completed  as  each  sound  and  its  Letter  Options  are  studied.  The  booklets  can  also  be  kept  as  handy  spelling  references  for  students  who  may  revisit  their  booklets  and  add  words  to  them  as  new  words  are  discovered.  

When  studying  a  sound,  words  should  be  written  in  groups  in  the  corresponding  boxes  for  each  Letter  Option.    Words  with  unusual  spelling  pattern  options  are  written  outside  the  boxes.  This  method  helps  develop  students’  visual  memory  of  particular  words.  See  MANUAL  PART  THREE.    

INCREASING  YOUR  KNOWLEDGE  OF  SOUNDS    

This  folder  contains  three  documents:  CONSONANT  PAIRS,    FEATURES-­‐CONSONANTS  AND  VOWELS  and  a  DEVELOPMENTAL  CHART.    These  are  handy  references  for  teachers  using  the  program.  They  can  also  be  printed  and  used  in  the  training  of  other  teachers.  Take  some  time  to  read  these  reference  sheets  as  they  are  useful  when  addressing  both  speech  and  literacy  issues  (both  assessment  and  intervention).

THE  SPEECH  SOUND  SET  MANUAL     www.pelicantalk.com

SPELLING  EXAMPLES    

The  aim  of  these  pages  is  to  “show”  students  a  Letter  Option  within  a  commonly  used  word.                                                  A  page  is  provided  for  each  Sound  Buddy  and  can  be  printed  and  displayed  when  spelling  for  that  sound  is  being  explored.    In  time,  more  and  more  pages  can  be  displayed  for  student  reference.      

The  words  on  display  can  be  then  used  in  an  analogical  approach  to  spelling.      For  example,  a  teacher  might  respond  to  a  student’s  incorrect  spelling  of  “rouff”  by  saying:    “The  sound  at  the  end  of  “rough”  is  spelt  like    “cough”…  Have  a  look  at  Furry  Fox’s  Spelling  examples.  Kirkbride  and  Wright  (2002)  5  found  that  learning  to  spell  using  analogy  can  enhance  students’  spelling  abilities  if  included  in  explicit  teaching.    See  MANUAL  PART  THREE.    

CIRCLE-­‐A-­‐SOUND    

There  is  a  Circle-­‐A-­‐Sound  activity  sheet  for  each  sound.  Tackle  this  activity  after  a  sound  and  its  Letter  Options  have  been  studied.  The  activity  is  a  fun  one,  but  not  easy  and  can  create  lots  of  discussion!    See  MANUAL  PART  THREE.
