Book Lists For Articulation: SH words
Without a doubt, my passion is literacy-based speech therapy. I LOVE children’s picture books; they are an endless wealth for targeting articulation and language concepts. When I select books, I’m not just looking for the target sound in the book title. I only recommend books that contain the sound with high frequency or a word containing that sound is repeated throughout. As we all know, muscle memory comes from repetition. You may also like to read how to choose the best books for literacy-based speech therapy.
