Teacher Name: | Martha Strickland,SLP |
Grade: | Preschool |
Subject: | Other |
Topic: | There are three children in Mrs. Smith's preschool class who have difficulty producing the /T/ sound correctly in the initial, medial, and final positions of words. |
Content: | The children have demonstrated via speech screening that they are able to produce the /T/ sound correctly in isolation, and syllables,but have difficulty with production at word level. |
Goals: | The preschoolers will be able to produce /T/ correctly during conversational speech in the classroom, at home, and in various social settings. |
Objectives: | The preschoolers will produce /T/ in all positions of words, phrases, short sentences, and finally conversation: 85% accuracy for three consecutive sessions will be criteria for advancement to next level of production. |
Materials: | A mirror, puppet, tongue depressor, picture cards, and worksheets will be used to help teach correct production. |
Introduction: | Tom the Turtle puppet will be used to intoduce the sound /T/ makes. The turtle will be passed to all three children providing opportunities to hold/touch. |
Development: | A mirror will be used to show and have children identify the lips, teeth and tongue which are used to produce the /T/ sound. Explanation: teeth stay together to make a fence... tongue stays behind the fence. |
Practice: | The speech therapist will provide a model for the /T/ sound and children will produce in isolation in front of mirror. This should be simple because all three children have been found to produce /T/ correctly in isolation and syllables. Next picture cards will be used to imitate simple CVC words: Tap, Take, Tire, Tape etc. |
Accommodations: | If a child has difficulty with any steps listed above, the therapist will schedule individual time with that particular child. |
Checking For Understanding: | The sound will be considered mastered when it is produced with 85% accuracy during conversation in the classroom, at home and in various social settings: playground, friends house etc. Parent and teacher will be resposible for reporting these outcomes to therapist. |
Closure: | Talk to children and parents about importance of producing /T/ correctly all the time, not just when the therapist is listening! |
Evaluation: | /T/ produced correctly in conversation 85% of time in all settings listed. |
