S-Blends Articulation Words
What educators are saying
Description
S-Blends Speech with a twist! Crisp images and engaging hand-on fun.! Students use these adorable snakes to assist them in the production of initial sound /s/ blends. Sssssssss+Lime = Slime, Sssssss+Pin= Spin, etc. Check out the video preview on Full Screen to see this strategy in action.
I've been successfully using this strategy for years with my students and am so happy that I finally put this idea into a product for you to use with your students.
7 pages of fun blending tasks with 5 target words per page, 63 picture cards with initial blends of /St/, /Sk/, /Sw/, /Sn/, /Sm/, /Sl/, and /Sp/, Snake cueing cards, and Coloring the Snake's Scales page.
Happy Buyers say:
"So simple and by far one of my most used materials! Thank you!"
"I love this! My students do so much better with visuals and this is a great product!"
"I love these visual prompts for /s/ blends, which is such a common articulation error with my school population. Thank you for this resource! Saved me a lot of time."

Students drag out their /s/ sound while sliding their finger along the snake.
Students say the name on the picture circle when they reach the snake’s head.
See if the student can figure out what word they are making. You may provide choices by setting out a couple of cards to choose from.
