The speech therapy word lists are perfect for anyone who needs practice with speech and language concepts. For any type of practice...

...you need words to get started.

Now I don't know about you, but when I need to think of targeted words to use...

...I suffer from spontaneous memory loss, or SML.

It's more common than you might think ;)

This page has words for anyone to practice articulation, apraxia, language, phonology, or stuttering principles. They will help children and adults be successful meeting their goals.

Articulation

Each list of articulation sounds contains words with the target sound in the beginning, middle, and end position, including blends when applicable, as well as words that...

are common and functional (words we use all day...everyday)

are mostly 1 syllable (multi-syllabic words are more difficult)

have a phonemic context that don't interfere with production of the target sound (most words)

Example:

If "R" is the problem sound using the word "Rope" makes saying the "R" sound harder because the "O" sound is considered a round vowel.

A round vowel is one where you round your lips to say it. Go ahead...try it by saying "O" as in "boat". You rounded your lips didn't you? I thought you might.

Children who have difficulty with the "R" sound tend to say the "W" sound...they say "Wabbit" instead of "Rabbit".

The "W" sound is considered a rounded sound too. Try saying the "W" sound without rounding your lips...you can't because that is how the sound is made.

So by pairing the "R" sound with the "O" sound like in the word "Rope", this makes the word extra difficult for a child who has a problem saying the "R" sound because the "O" that follows the "R" will naturally make them want to round there lips.

When Arthur doesn't fit into his costume for the play, he's shocked to learn that he's become "husky-sized." Now he's serious about getting in shape. Will he turn to an all-protein diet? Eat only herbs and berries? Or will he try something really radical... like exercise?!

Games to play with your kids

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
At a glance

Kids can learn to manage their emotions and work on social skills.

You can help your child with social-emotional learning by playing fun games at home.

There are lots of simple games you can play during everyday activities.

Many schools have started teaching kids how to do things like cope with feelings, set goals, and get along with others. It's called social-emotional learning. You can help your child work on these skills at home, too.

Here are a handful of activities that can help your child manage emotions and work on social skills - and have some fun with you along the way. These games are very low-tech. And all are designed to fit easily into daily routines.

1. Starfish and tornadoes

Try playing this game at different times of day, and help your child describe the energy levels. For example, if you play this game before dinner, you can say, "You have so much energy, I bet you could run up and down the stairs five times before I finish cooking!"

Keep in mind: Self-awareness can help kids build a skill called self-regulation. This skill is about managing your internal energy. It helps kids manage their emotions and their body movements during tough situations. It also helps them pay attention and learn.

The goal: To help kids practice observing what's going on around them. Picking up on social cues helps kids get their needs met and understand the perspective of others.

Help your child connect these observations with choosing how to behave. For example, when the swings are crowded, your child may decide to go on the slide first.

To help your child come up with ideas, comment whenever you notice your child's positive behaviors: "You just offered to teach your sister a nursery rhyme. Let's talk for a second about what kind of person you're being right now."

Also, you can buy these kinds of cards or find templates online. But kids might like making the cards themselves.

How to play: When you and your child can't agree, use the tune of "This Old Man" to sing these lines: "You want this. I want that. How can we both get what we want?" Then brainstorm solutions and choose the best idea for right now. For example, if your child is demanding to bake cookies at 8 a.m., the best solution might be to wait two hours so you can bake when the baby is napping.

5. Taking turns taking charge

Key takeaways

Simple, fun games can help kids learn to cope with feelings, set goals, and get along with others.

Self-regulation helps kids manage their emotions and their body movements.

Praising good behavior often leads to more of it.

Most children are learning to type at a much younger age. Children are typing in school for essays and even for most written assignments now. There is much debate as to whether typing is becoming the dominant form of communication. Even if written communication is still important, there is no arguing that typing is an important piece of our lives.

The most efficient way to learn how to type is to take one step at a time. Online typing courses can give a large task like learning to type, a much more manageable feel. Try this typing course and see if you can improve your typing skills.

This typing course has 10 levels that start with the home row and move slowly up through the qwerty rows and bottom rows. Soon you'll be typing in all rows and typing words without even looking at the keys.

Welcome to our supplemental Social Emotional Learning Activities page!

As you will see below, many of the supplemental SEL activities and lesson plans include characters from our game-based, social emotional learning interventions. And when you use the online programs with your students, these activities will reinforce the learning that occurs during game play.

These supplemental resources - lessons, activities, and worksheets - are in the following SELskill areas: Communication, Cooperation, Emotion Regulation, Empathy, Impulse Control, and Social Initiation.

These resources are age-appropriate for elementary and middle school students and are typically used in a classroom or a small group setting. And in most cases, if materials are required for the activity, they are items that you already have in your classroom or office.

Pencil Code is a collaborative programming site for drawing art, playing music, and creating games. It is also a place to experiment with mathematical functions, geometry, graphing, webpages, simulations, and algorithms. Programs are open for all to see and copy.

Watch a video overview or watch a video tutorial.

The main language is Coffeescript. Professional software engineers use Coffeescript to build complex websites, but Coffeescript code can also be very simple.

Pencil Code can also be used to explore and learn Javascript, HTML, and CSS: when you are ready, just find the "gear" button to adjust languages.

Programs preload the pencilcode library to use turtle graphics functions. Pencil Code is all open source. Hang out on the Pencil Code discussion forum or check out the quick reference or the online guide to find out more. There is also an illustrated Pencil Code book with more than 100 small projects.

Anybody can save programs and web pages, but read the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy first. Two rules:

Be Nice. Do not mess up other peoples' work. Do not post content that detracts from education on the site. This a learning space that is not locked down (for example, passwords are optional). So feel free to explore, create, and link, but also please be considerate.

Be Careful. Do not depend on Pencil Code to keep your data safe. Data posted here is public, and data is not secured from loss. Do not post private or personally identifiable information. Passwords on Pencil Code do not prevent malicious interference.

The Pencil Code Foundation is devoted to advancing computer science education by making programming as simple and as universal as using a pencil. Contribute to the development of Pencil Code at dev.pencilcode.net or github. - info@pencilcode.net.

Chicken Little

A modern adaptation of the classic tale: What happens when a completely normal chicken believes everything he reads on the internet? This story is written in the present tense, because it's a good thing to learn.

The Bird and the Whale

Our first ever original story, about a bird and a whale and their shared love of little fish. Inspired by a song by Tom Waits, and an episode of Adventure Time.

The Three Little Pigs

The classic tale of shoddy building materials, DIY folly, and the perils of emparedados de tocino (a.k.a bacon sandwiches). No pigs or wolves were harmed in the making of this story.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Why you should probably lock your door when you go out for a walk, even if you live en medio de un gran bosque. Why are the three bowls of sopa different temperatures when they were poured at the same time? Science, is why.

Little Red Riding Hood

A deeply troubling investigation into what happens when you let your children walk somewhere alone: Caperucita Roja eats fresas, picks margaritas and talks to el Gran Lobo Feroz on the way to Grandma's house. (Warning: Contains highly improbable medical scenes.)

Actor Josh Gad Is Reading Books to Kids Online Every Night During Coronavirus Quarantines. Grab the tissues! Josh Gad has decided to read children's books to families around the world via his Twitter page each night while either under quarantine or practicing social distancing during the outbreak of coronavirus.

The Frozen II and Beauty and the Beast star began with reading Olivia Goes to Venice and has kept the trend going with The Day the Crayons Quit, The Giving Tree, and Dr. Seuss: Horray for Diffendoofer Day. It seems Gad will continue the trend as long as is needed to keep spirits high and to help entertain families during this time. Josh also shares some fun insight into his admiration for the books he is reading and hilarious stories about his kids that they will be sure to roll their eyes at when they get older. Josh's "Samantha?" Hat in the first video made us giggle up a storm, hehehehe.

You can check out Josh's first four readings below:

We absolutely LOVE this idea and are so happy to see entertainers doing what they love for the sake of their fans during a difficult time and expecting nothing in return. It is so refreshing to see in our newsfeed. We can't wait to see what other stories are on the way!

Another way Josh is keeping his own family entertained is by introducing them to classic 80's films, which he is also cataloging via his twitter account. Disney has also added Frozen II to Disney+ months earlier than expected to help keep families entertained at home.

Do you enjoy Josh's bedtime stories? What other titles would you love to hear him read to his fans and their kids? How are you keeping your family entertained at home? We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for all things Disney!
