v word lists for speech therapists to use in articulation therapy

Correct Production of V

Just like the f sound, the v sound is a labiodental fricative sound. The only difference, however, is that the v sound is voiced, meaning that the vocal cords, or vocal folds, vibrate. To produce the v sound, the top teeth need to rest against the bottom lip. When the top front teeth are placed on the lower lip, the air is directed through, and there is audible friction when this occurs. The result will be /v/ in isolation.

v words and articulation activities for speech therapy

How To Teach the V Sound in Speech Therapy

Many of the same treatment approaches for the f sound can be used to elicit the v sound. The child will need to learn how to turn the “voice on” to produce a v.

A great way to provide is a tactile cue is to tap your bottom lip.

Try giving the v sound a “funny name” for young children. While the f sound could be termed “the bunny teeth sound”, the v sound could be the “vroom vroom” sound.

Try placing a mirror in front of your student. Have him bite on his lower lip, and make sure he can see his upper teeth. Then have him blow air while drawing attention to the vibration that occurs with a voiced v sound.

Students with phonological disorders may exhibit a process called stopping . If a student stops the v sound (i.e., says “ban” for “van”), try slowing things down. Model the v sound, pause, then say the rest of the word. This technique can also work for a stop insertion error (i.e. your student says ‘b….van’). Model the v sound, open your mouth wide and exaggerate the vowel, then say the rest of the word. “V…AAAAAAn.” Read more about the different phonological processes .

 Speech pathologists may benefit by having the child  keep the jaw in an elevated position . Try to encourage jaw stability.

How to Teach F Sound: Articulation Activities, and Word Lists for Effective Speech Therapy

How to teach ch sound: articulation activities, and word lists for effective speech therapy, how to teach v sound: articulation activities, and word lists for effective speech therapy.

The “v” sound is a voiced labiodental fricative, which means that it is produced by forcing air through a narrow channel between the lower lip (labial) and the upper teeth (dental) while simultaneously vibrating the vocal cords. This creates a friction noise that is similar to the “f” sound but with the addition of a buzzing or humming sensation in the throat.

To produce the “v” sound, you need to place your lower lip gently against your upper teeth and then push air through the small gap between them while simultaneously narrowing the gap with your lips and allowing your vocal cords to vibrate. This creates a continuous friction noise that is characterized by a buzzing or humming sound. You can try producing this sound by saying the word “very” or “love” and paying attention to the way your lips, breath, and vocal cords work together to create the sound. In phonetics, this sound is represented by the symbol /v/. It is also sometimes referred to as the “voiced labiodental fricative.”

Here are few tips you can follow to teach the “V” sound:

words beginning with v speech therapy

Demonstrate the sound: Start by demonstrating the “V” sound for your child. Make the sound and have your child watch your lips and mouth movements. Explain that the sound is made by placing the top teeth on the bottom lip and vibrating the vocal cords.

Visual Cue: Show the child how to place their upper teeth on their lower lip and then blow air out while making a voiced sound. You can use a mirror to help the child see how their lips and teeth are positioned. You can also use a visual cue such as a picture or flashcard of a “V” to help your child remember the sound.

Understand the sound: Help your child understand that the “V” sound is a voiced consonant made by placing the top teeth on the bottom lip and vibrating the vocal cords.

Practice Blowing: Help your child get used to the sensation of blowing out air with their mouth by having them practice blowing bubbles, blowing feathers across a table, or blowing out candles.

Practice Tongue Placement: Show your child how to keep their tongue relaxed and behind their top teeth while making the “V” sound. You can make it more fun by having them imitate animal sounds, such as a purring cat or a buzzing bee, while using the “V” sound.

Practice in Isolation: Once your child has mastered the correct tongue and mouth position, have them practice making the “V” sound on its own without any other sounds.

Add Syllables: After your child has mastered the “V” sound in isolation, have them practice using it in different syllables, such as “va,” “ve,” and “vo.” You can make it more fun by having them say silly words like “vegetable,” “vanilla,” and “volcano.”

Practice in Words: Once your child has mastered the “V” sound in syllables, have them practice using it in different words such as “van,” “vase,” and “velvet.”

Practice in Phrases: After your child has mastered the “V” sound in words, have them practice using it in phrases like “big van,” “red vase,” and “soft velvet.”

Practice in Sentences: Finally, have your child practice using the “V” sound in different sentences such as “I see a big van,” “The vase is on the table,” and “I love soft velvet.”

Practice Everywhere: Encourage your child to practice using the “V” sound in different contexts, such as during playtime, mealtime, or while reading books. You can also make it more fun by having them use the “V” sound in different accents or dialects.

This list of functional words was professionally selected to be the most useful for a child or adult who has difficulty with producing the vowels.

We encourage you to use this list when practicing at home.

Doing home practice will help your child make much faster progress toward correct production.

Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) are only able to see students/clients 30-60 mins (or less) per week.

This is not enough time  for your child to overcome difficulty producing vowels. But with high caseloads...

...it's all SLPs can do.

There's  only so much time  in the day.

Every day that your child goes without practice  it becomes more and more difficult  to correct mispronounced vowels because he/she continues to say it incorrectly. 

We know life is busy , but if you're reading this you're probably someone who cares about helping their loved one as much as you can.

Practice 5-10 minutes whenever you can, but try to do it on a consistent basis (daily).

Please, please, please use this list to practice.

It will be a great benefit to you and your loved one's progress.

V words in speech therapy

Vocabulary is a crucial aspect of speech therapy, as it encompasses the words that an individual uses to express themselves effectively. In speech therapy, building a rich and diverse vocabulary is essential for communication success. Here are some important aspects of “V words” in speech therapy:

  • Vocabulary Development: Speech therapists work with individuals of all ages, including children and adults, to develop their vocabulary skills. This includes teaching new words, improving word retrieval skills, and expanding vocabulary breadth and depth. Speech therapists may use various techniques such as word association, semantic mapping, and categorization to help individuals learn and understand new words.
  • Verbal Expression: The ability to use a wide range of vocabulary allows individuals to express themselves clearly and effectively. Speech therapists work on helping individuals improve their ability to verbally express their thoughts, feelings, and ideas using appropriate vocabulary. This includes teaching synonyms, antonyms, and context-dependent vocabulary to help individuals communicate more precisely and accurately.
  • Vocabulary Strategies: Speech therapists also work with individuals to develop strategies for vocabulary expansion and word retrieval. This may include techniques such as word prediction, word banking, and word finding strategies to help individuals access and use their vocabulary effectively in different communication situations.
  • Vocabulary Enrichment: Speech therapists often focus on enriching an individual’s vocabulary by introducing new words, concepts, and topics that are relevant and interesting to them. This may include teaching vocabulary related to specific interests or activities, such as hobbies, sports, or occupations, to help individuals communicate more effectively in their daily lives.
  • Verbosity Management: Some individuals may struggle with using an excessive amount of words, known as verbosity, which can make their speech difficult to understand. Speech therapists work on helping individuals learn to use concise and appropriate vocabulary to convey their messages clearly and efficiently.
  • Visual Vocabulary: In addition to spoken vocabulary, speech therapists may also work on developing visual vocabulary skills, such as sign language or visual aids, for individuals who have difficulty with verbal expression. Visual vocabulary can be a valuable communication tool for individuals with speech or language disorders, and speech therapists may incorporate visual supports to enhance communication skills.

In conclusion, vocabulary plays a significant role in speech therapy. Building a rich and diverse vocabulary is crucial for effective communication, and speech therapists work on developing vocabulary skills, improving word retrieval, teaching vocabulary strategies, enriching vocabulary, managing verbosity, and incorporating visual vocabulary as needed to help individuals communicate more effectively in their daily lives.

Printable pdf speech therapy games for slps.

Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) incorporate games as an essential component of therapy, using them to enhance learning through play. Building Rapport and Overcoming Unfamiliarity: Establishing a connection with the child is crucial at the beginning of therapy, especially when there may be initial hesitancy due to unfamiliarity with the SLP. Playing games proves to be an effective way to ease this hesitation, fostering a sense of fun and laughter. Sense of Accomplishment: Games provide children with a platform to experience success during therapy. Through errorless learning, children can feel a sense of control, particularly when they take on the role of teaching the SLP how to play. This dynamic encourages confidence and active participation. Addressing Challenges: Confronting speech or language difficulties can be daunting for children who fear making mistakes. Games contribute to creating a positive balance by infusing an element of enjoyment into the learning process. Beyond Therapy Goals: Games offer an avenue for additional learning beyond the specific therapy goals, encompassing social skills and turn-taking, contributing to holistic development. Enhancing Motor Skills: Many games involve the manipulation of small pieces, providing the additional benefit of practicing fine motor skills while engaging in enjoyable activities.

words beginning with v speech therapy

How to Pick Vocabulary Words: What words?! Whenever I had a student who needed to work on vocabulary My mind started racing, ‘What words do I pick?’ ‘What are the right words to use? ‘. When writing a goal we need to know what we are tracking. You cannot simply write with ‘classroom vocabulary’, that ain’t gonna fly if your case brought to due process.

You must have a list of the words you are going to target and track progress.

Now, there are lots of resources out there. I have read books like Bridge to Vocabulary , Bringing Words to Life , Building Academic Vocabulary , and Teaching Vocabulary and found them so valuable. These have been wonderful resources and I highly encourage you to check them out. A common theme across them all is to make the vocabulary meaningful for the child.

Explain why these words are so important,

point them out in daily living, show their actual application! Choosing the words to target when it comes to working on vocabulary doesn’t have to be an ordeal either. One of the best and most practical places to find words is to look at their academic worksheets, read the directions, and focus on the verbs. Words like arranging, summarize, incorporate, detail, etc will pop up left and right.

These are examples of tier 2, functional vocabulary words. I do not assume that the students know these words despite having been surrounded for years. So, if you’re stumped on what words to choose, start here.

“Failure to understand instructional verbs and thus what a teacher or textbook is asking of a child has the potential of creating a rift in the child’s engagement with the learning process.” Lowman et al., 2018

Now, one of the most common questions after hearing this, ‘What verbs are the best to target then?’. So here is a list of instructional verbs, common for Kindergarten to 5th grade. Please keep in mind there are soooo many words available that our students are exposed to everyday, but if you need a jumping off point, then take a look at the list below.

How to Pick Vocabulary Words

I have also used these Vocabulary Kits with a lot of success too. I simply pick a word set and that is our focus for the year. The are research based so the vocabulary chosen aligns with the same academic practicality we need. This also includes scaffolded materials as well as a pretest/post-test. You can read more about this my Teaching Vocabulary in Speech Therapy post.

So when it comes to vocabulary, don’t stress. Words your kids need surround them all you have to do is to find the best fit for them.

135+ Voiced TH Words Speech Therapy (Free Word Lists)

Voiced th words speech therapy.

Are you a speech therapist or parent looking for voiced TH words to practice with your child or student? Then this blog is just what you need! It has over 135 voiced TH words for speech therapy that will help strengthen your child or student’s /th/ sound. 

In the world of speech therapy, mastering the “th” sound is important for clear and effective communication. As speech therapists, we know that the “th” sound is particularly essential, since it appears frequently in every day conversations, and is also one of the most common mispronounced sounds. 

By understanding and focusing on voiced “th” words in speech therapy sessions, we as speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and our clients can work together to improve speech clarity and overall language development. 

Voiced “th” sounds are created when the vocal cords vibrate and the air is pushed through the small space between the teeth and tongue. 

This unique sound can be tricky for some individuals, particularly young children and non-native English speakers who may not have been exposed to it early in life. 

This blog is just what you need when working on the pronunciation and articulation of voiced TH words! We will cover various techniques that can be employed in your speech therapy session to help clients develop and strengthen their pronunciation of voiced “th” words. 

medial-voiced-th-blog-post-cover

Key Takeaways

  • Speech therapy aims to improve the pronunciation of voiced “th” words to enhance communication.
  • Voiced “th” sounds are key components of everyday conversations, making early intervention crucial. 
  • Various teaching methods and different resource types can be employed to differentiate between voiced and voiceless “th” sounds.
  • There are additional resources listed in this post that can be used as helpful resources when working on the voiced “th” sounds in speech therapy.

Understanding Voiced Th Sounds

As a speech therapist, I found that one of the common challenges is understanding and mastering the voiced “th” sound. It seemed to be one of the most common mispronounced sounds in the past within my caseload. 

To cover the basics – the voiced “th” sounds occur when the vocal cords vibrate during the production of the sound. This is in contrast to voiceless “th” sounds, which do not involve vocal cord vibration. 

To begin, it’s crucial to know that an articulation disorder occurs when a person has difficulty producing speech sounds correctly. This can happen for various reasons, including structural abnormalities in the oral cavity, weak oral muscles, or delayed motor speech development. For voiced “th” sounds, the focus is primarily on the correct tongue placement and vocal cord vibration.

Correct Production

  • Tongue Placement: To produce a clear voiced “th” sound, have your student or child place the tip of their tongue between the upper and bottom teeth. 
  • Airflow: The tongue should rest gently against the teeth, allowing for free airflow.
  • Vocal Cords: As the vocal cords vibrate, a continuous voiced sound should be produced.
  • Tip: During this process, they should feel a slight vibration in their throat, indicating that the vocal cords are engaged appropriately.

As I worked with clients, one technique I found helpful was practicing voiced “th” in various positions. 

This post will give you over 135 words, phrases and sentences in initial, medial and final positions to practice. I suggest starting with simple words and gradually progressing to more complex phrases and sentences. 

Additionally, reading books aloud that contain voiced “th” sounds can provide valuable practice and help increase awareness of how “th” sounds in everyday speech and conversations.

The Importance of Early Intervention

As speech therapists and speech-language pathologists, we understand the crucial role early intervention plays in helping children overcome speech difficulties, especially with voiced “th” sounds. 

One of the main reasons is that early intervention allows us to address speech and language delays during the critical period of a child’s development. Research consistently demonstrates that early intervention can significantly improve outcomes in communication skills, social interactions, and academic success. 

Working in Early Intervention

When working with children who have a hard time pronouncing voiced “th” sounds, our goal as speech therapists should be to provide specialized techniques and activities tailored to our child’s needs. 

This will help them improve their speech and gain confidence in their ability to communicate. Early intervention helps us identify and address these issues as soon as possible, giving the child the best chance for success in their speech development.

interactice-initial-voiced-th

Working with Families

Collaborating with family members is an essential aspect of early intervention programs for voiced “th” sounds in speech therapy. I loved working closely with parents and caregivers to create a supportive and nurturing environment that encouraged the child to practice their newfound skills. 

Creating strong communication between the family and other teams such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, a special education teacher or general ed teacher will help reinforce the therapy techniques applied during sessions in many different ways and allows the child to progress more quickly.

In conclusion, early intervention is always important when working on different sounds, but especially voiced “th” sounds in speech therapy.

Methods for Teaching Voiced ‘Th’ Words

  • Mouth Position

The first step in teaching voiced ‘th’ words is to ensure the proper mouth position. 

To avoid speech errors, start by helping the child:

  • Tongue: place their tongue between the upper and lower front teeth while making the voiced th sound. 
  • Tongue Tip: The tongue tip should be just visible or approach the inner surface of the upper front teeth. 
  • Tip: I always reminded my students that the difference between voiceless and voiced th is the vibration they feel in their vocal cords. 

Word lists are a valuable tool when teaching voiced ‘th’ words, and so I have created a list of 135 ‘th’ words at the word, phrase and sentence level. 

You can also encourage your student or child to go through this list of words and practice reading or repeating the words aloud, while focusing on the correct pronunciation of the “th” sound. 

  • Fun Activities

Playing games and using activities in our speech therapy sessions is a great way to engage children and make learning fun. 

Below in this post, we have curated a list of fun and free resources to use with your students and child to practice the target sound “th” in different ways! 

We have resource types for home practice, early intervention, older students, independent work etc.

Differentiating Between Voiced and Voiceless ‘Th’ Sounds

As a speech-language pathologist, I learned quickly how important it is to understand the different speech sounds between voiced and voiceless “th”. 

The different sounds can create some confusion, but our students will be able to master their target sound and improve their speech and pronunciation with the guidance from our speech therapy sessions.

Voiced ‘th’ sounds occur when the voice box is turned on during pronunciation. 

They often appear in function words, such as “this,” “that,” “then,” and “there.” 

Voiceless TH

In contrast, voiceless ‘th’ sounds happen when your voice box is turned off. 

One way to differentiate between these sounds is by placing your fingers gently on your throat while pronouncing various ‘th’ words. You’ll feel vibrations in your throat while producing the voiced ‘th’ sound and no vibrations for the voiceless ‘th’ sound.

Voiced vs Voiceless TH

The only difference between these two sounds is the use of vocal cords. 

In both cases, you must place your tongue slightly between your teeth and blow air. To better understand the distinction, use these examples of different words with voiced and voiceless ‘th’ sounds. 

Some examples of voiced ‘th’ words are “then,” “these,” and “though,” while voiceless ‘th’ words are “think,” “thirteen,” and “thumb.”

Word Positions: Voiced TH Words Speech Therapy 

Practicing at initial, medial and final levels is a great way to help improve an articulation disorder and achieve clearer speech. 

To help our clients improve their speech, we should work with them on target words in all positions. This enables them to practice the correct pronunciation of the voiced TH sound no matter where it appears in a word.

Initial Position of Words

The initial position of words refers to when the TH sound is at the beginning of a word, such as “that” or “this”. 

Medial Position of Words

Medial position refers to when the TH sound appears in the middle of a word, such as “father”, “another”, and “leather”.

Final Positions of Words

Final positions of words, on the other hand, occur when the TH sound is at the end of a word, like in “bathe” or “breathe”. This position can be challenging for some clients as it requires sustaining the TH sound through the end of the word.

Here’s a list of Voiced TH articulation sounds for you to use in therapy or at home practice to work on your student or child’s new words.

  • For Example: these, that, them, brother, mother, unbothered, bathe

What is the difference between voiced and unvoiced TH?

The primary difference between voiced and unvoiced TH is the presence of vocal fold vibration. Voiced TH sounds, like in “this” or “those”, involve vibration of the vocal folds, while unvoiced TH sounds, like in “think” or “through”, do not. The tongue position for both types of TH sounds is the same, with the tip of the tongue lightly touching the upper teeth.

Visual cues involve showing the correct tongue placement between the teeth, while modeling entails demonstrating the correct pronunciation for the client to imitate. Tactile cues involve providing gentle touch prompts to direct the placement of the tongue. Another approach is using word lists, phrases, and reading passages designed to target the voiced TH sound.

Can you provide examples of final th words?

Final th words are words that have the TH sound at the end of the word. Some examples of final voiced TH words include “breathe”, “bathe”, “clothe”, and “smooth”.
