I created a picture book list inventory of my favorite /J/ sound books for articulation therapy. It’s a free download so you can put more energy into your speech therapy sessions rather than in researching books. Using a literacy-based approach to articulation therapy is supported by evidence but it can be very time-consuming – hopefully, this free download will save your productivity when selecting books to use in your speech therapy activities.
THE BEST /J/ BOOKS FOR ARTICULATION
The books I selected either have a high frequency of the /J/ sound or a word containing the sound is repeated throughout. I organized my list of /J/ books by initial, medial, and final. There is a column on the right of the inventory list for you to add your own notes if needed. I like to note where I can locate the book to save my productivity. For instance, I will label them as “mine,” or “library” if it’s a book I borrowed, etc.
You can print the complete list of /J/ sound books for articulation therapy at the bottom of this post. You can also see all of the recommended /J/ sound books on Amazon (affiliate link).
