This Final Sounds Game Pack has been designed to give children much practice of hearing the final sound of a word, something which many children struggle with, especially those with a speech delay.
It is hoped that as the child has fun playing the game that the child's phonetic awareness can be developed.
Speech therapy
The games can also be used within speech therapy to help children distinguish between sounds which are produced in a like manner: k/g; p/b; t/d. Many children have difficulty with sounds that are produced using the same part of the mouth/voice/tongue. If this is true of your pupil then I suggest that you start by playing the game with two sounds which are not at all similar.
Once the child can confidently hear the final sound of a word, then the game can be played with sounds which are similar to help the child’s speech development and the ability to carefully discriminate between like sounds.
