Welcome back to 10 Days of Giveaways…a celebration of 2 years for This Reading Mama! If you’re just joining the celebration, please click on the image above or HERE to see all of the giveaways. ALL giveaways will end on Wednesday, March 6th.
Today, I am super thrilled to tell you about Katie of Let’s Grow Speech! Trust when I say that you’ll be very impressed with the articulation books she’s created to help mamas and classroom teachers.
I’ve always enjoyed articulation and actually was required to take seven diction classes in my undergrad as a voice major. My roommates and I would write letters to one another in the International Phonetic Alphabet. We *were* such word nerds. Okay, okay. I still am a major word nerd. 🙂 If you’re a word nerd too {even if you’re not}, you’ll enjoy Katie’s Let’s Grow Speech Articulation Activties!
Katie sent me a free articulation book so I could see what it’s all about. I chose the /s/ and s-blend book because NJoy has a minor lisp with those sounds. {To see all of her books and an awesome introductory video, be sure to visit her site!} I was very excited to look through it and glean ideas for him! I’d like to tell you about what love about the articulation books.
- tips for teaching articulation are included, helping you know exactly how the child should create the sound with his mouth {placement of tongue, etc.}
- fun and hands-on activities are planned {with printables} for many themes, including school days, Christmas, or spring
- activities are provided for the word, sentence, and story level
- a book list is included with suggestions for how to use those books with speech and articulation

Would love to have this resource
I agree!! Awesome resources!!!
oh my goodness this is just what I was looking for. There are a few sounds that Sammy struggles with and I have been looking for something to help him!
I think the best part of this product is the fact that it will teach me how to teach my children. I have struggled with two minor lispers and managed to get them out of it, but my third is so much harder, and his speech is just not improving as much as I would like.
As a mother of 2 dc with articulation disorders, I would love to have this book!
My favorite part of the program would be the games.
I would love to have these! I am going to look into this a little more. I love books that teach me how to teach!
I have been looking for something like this for my 6 year old! Thanks for the chance.
I like the idea of hands on activities to help my daughter learn how to create sounds appropriately. She has trouble with T’s & I have been struggling to help her learn it correctly.
I always thought kids just talked the way they do because they’re mouths(?) just aren’t mature enough yet to make all the “right” sounds. I just figure each of my kids will grow out of it. BUT my oldest is only 6 and does a couple minor issues. So maybe this book would change my thinking?
Would love to win the Let’s Grow Articulation book! I serve lots of little kiddos working on their “S” sounds. Thanks for the chance. c_bisgard@yahoo.com
My favorite thing would be that it could help with pronunciation. My middle daughter can’t do the sh sound. I’m sure you can imagine that we want to help her learn it!
this would be a huge help for us!!
My children are hands on learners so those activities would be my favorite part of this book!
The fabulous design
of the book. My son would be engaged!
Nora has trouble with her R sounds, so I’d like to see how to help her through that.
Working with young children this would be a wonderful resource to have!
Oh, my goodness, I made a comment – looked at the website again, and had to come back and comment again. We have a 13 y/o cognitively impaired child that we homeschool. She has speech delays as well. It just dawned on me the other day (one of those DUH!) moments, that the reason she is struggling so much with reading is that she doesn’t articulate correctly! I would really love to win this set, but meanwhile I will really hope and pray for a way to purchase the set in the near future. Thanks for featuring this on your blog! Much appreciated!
Sounds like this would be a help for my kids.
I love resources that scaffold us as parent-teachers. 🙂
Awesome, Im actually reading all o0f yor posts. its dynamic and creative cant see wait to see what happens tomorrow.
What a great giveaway! I think that speech and articulation is one important thing that is lacking from most kids’ education.
I think that the book list with suggestions of how to use them would be my favorite part of this program.
It looks like a fun way to help my youngest with his speech!
I was just wondering where I could find some more of this kind of activity. Thank you!
This would be a wonderful supplement to speech therapy. I know of several youngsters who are receiving therapy now. Would really enjoy being able to help them with this issue. What a thoughtful giveaway!
My children and myself would be better understood!
This would be great for my son right now. As he has been in speech for the last year. He is improving on speech but has a long ways to go so I would love to use this great Articulation book. Amazing!!
Would be great to help with my daughters speech problems.
To help my kids with letter sounds
I could use this to help my middle child with his speech
Thank you for the opportunity to win such a great resourse! It is very much appreciated!
I think my favorite thing would be the help it would give me in helping my son with his trouble sounds. Thanks for the opportunity to enter!
I would love to use this resource in therapy to motivate my students to produce their sounds correctly! It would also be great for home practice! Thanks!
This sounds like a wonderful resource to share as speech “homework” for my elementary-aged students!
So glad to have found your site!
This book is AMAZING, words, articulation and syllables. Awesome pictures, realistic phrases. Love it
I will use this all the time in my speech sessions as an SLP
My favorite thing would be having games to help my kids with their speech. Both my boys spoke rather late and are still working on some sounds.
Gleaned over your sample book, your usage of the letters and ways to pronounce for young children
are wonderful treasure to anyone with young children. Thank you for your hard work and the opportunity to sign up.
