Articulation Gum Balls

Hey guys,

What a long time between posts!

I'll cut to the chase - this is a major multi-document project that, hopefully, you will enjoy. There are 5 packets of articulation "gum ball" activities with pictures, words and phrases/sentences to elicit production of all sounds in all positions and blends (when applicable). 



The early developing sounds: B, P, M, K, G, F and V are presented in pictures without sentences. As most children working on these sounds are non-readers, pictures are a better way to elicit spontaneous production. S, L and R blends are also included in the packet. "R" words are arranged according to placement (different vocalic as well as prevocalic).





There are (approximately) 950-975 words, 230 pictures and 200 sentences in the MEGA BUNDLE packet! Of course included are blank gum balls to add your own words and sentences. You can, of course, create your own sentences from the target word lists. Since the pictures don't come along with sentences, you will need to create your own or have your students come up with their own.
It comes with a whole-page gum ball machine (use is optional) and "game" gum balls:
Now, here's where you get it:

B, P, M Gum Balls
K, G, F, V Gum Balls
TH Gum Balls (FREE)
SH, CH, J Gum Balls
S, R, L Gum Balls

Articulation MEGA BUNDLE (save $$)

Enjoy and please feel free to leave a comment, suggestion, questions, etc.
