Goals and Activities for Phonology
Carolyn Freeman R-SLP(C) October 2, 2009
The GOAL is the reason you’re doing the activity. It’s the ultimate purpose of therapy.
The ACTIVITY is the means to reach the goal. It provides the motivationand creates the opportunity for the child to communicate. It’s the MMO (detective…)

The “GAP”s• Between the Goal and the Activity• Between the expectation and the
output• Between the adult and the child• Between the child and the disorder• Between the plan and the reality
Activity vs. GoalYou can use many activities to
work towards one goal AND…
You can use one activity to meet many goals (if you “switch it up”)
It’s the goal, not the activity that’s important!
Your Primary GoalCommunication
Take time to know the child/clientKnow what’s important to them(interests, likes, dislikes, families, pets,
etc…)Speak their “language”.Talk with them

A Brief History (oh-oh Theory…)
Phonology: The “dictionary” of sounds in any
language
The “rules or patterns” that determine how speech sounds are organized and combined to form words in any given language.
Phonological DevelopmentIncludes:• The way a child hears the sounds in a
language (phonological awareness), • The way a child produces the sounds of a
language (expressive phonology), and • The link between the two.
What does that mean?
• Need to “crack the code”(i.e., the child’s sound
system)
• Need to introduce a new code (i.e., English sound
system)
![Page 4: Goals and Activities for Phonology - OneHealthonehealth.ca/r_alberta_nwt/video_conferences/R091002A-HOB.pdf• Between the plan and the reality ... • Singing books. Read It Again!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070609/5ad4327a7f8b9a0f198ea6da/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Shift in InterventionMedical Model• to remediate, or “fix”
the problem
Educational Model• to intervene or
“promote”development and/or to “prevent” future difficulties
But…
• There seems to be a preconceived notion that if the activity is not “clinical” in nature, it is not “therapy”.
• This leads to “Drill and Kill” activities
Shift the paradigm… Think of yourselves as “facilitators” not “fixers”
Phonological Therapy Approach
• Process/concept oriented• Phonological process targeting sound
“families” (e.g., front vs. back sounds)• Auditory bombardment and use of minimal
pairs (compare and contrast sound features)
• Always targeted at word level
![Page 5: Goals and Activities for Phonology - OneHealthonehealth.ca/r_alberta_nwt/video_conferences/R091002A-HOB.pdf• Between the plan and the reality ... • Singing books. Read It Again!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070609/5ad4327a7f8b9a0f198ea6da/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Goal is generalization of pattern, functionality of communication
• Includes literacy-learning activities for phonological awareness
• Naturalistic language learning• Educational focus• Hands-on
Keep in Mind…
• The child/client: age, gender, interests, personality, other abilities (or challenges).
• The environment: Is it child friendly?• The activity: Is it age/developmentally
appropriate? Does it meet a/the goal? Is it functional? Is it fun?
Using Picture Cards
The challenge:– Create many opportunities for “target
practice”– Avoid “drill and kill”– Keep the activity/session moving– Keep the child motivated (you, too!)
Chances are: If you’re bored, so is the child!

Receptive PhonologyThe ability to hear the differences
between speech sounds and words (auditory discrimination – auditory bombardment)
It is the understanding of the sound structure of a language (phonological awareness)
These children are not likely AUDITORY learners
Phonological Awareness is:• The awareness of the sounds of a
language that make up words; • The ability to recognize and reflect on
these sounds in words separate from the meaning of words ;
• The ability to recognize and manipulate the sounds and syllables used to make words ;
• A good indicator of academic success
Components of Phonological Awareness
• Rhyme• Blend sounds to produce words (real or
nonsense)• Drop, add or change sounds in a spoken
word• Identify the number of syllables/sounds in
a word• “Break apart” sounds in a word
![Page 7: Goals and Activities for Phonology - OneHealthonehealth.ca/r_alberta_nwt/video_conferences/R091002A-HOB.pdf• Between the plan and the reality ... • Singing books. Read It Again!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070609/5ad4327a7f8b9a0f198ea6da/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Often children with difficulties in phonological awareness are not auditory learners – we need to reinforce learning about speech sounds using other learning styles (visual, tactile, musical, kinesthetic)
Activities to Enhance P.A.• Silly Songs• Animated Literacy Songs/Stories• Sound Substitution (e.g. Wibbly Wobbly Woo)• Listening/Auditory Bombardment Games
• Fly swatter game
• Sound/Word detective games• Rhyming games (e.g. Name game)• Segmenting/blending games• Etc….
(Tune: “London Bridges”)What are the sounds you hear in
“cat”?Hear in “cat, Hear in “cat”What are the sounds you hear in
“cat”?I hear /k/, /a/, /t/.

Who Let the Letters Out?
Who let the “A” out?a-a-a-a
Who let the “s” out?s-s-s-s
More Ideas…
• Willaby, Wallaby, Woo• Sound Play• Sound effects• Nursery Rhymes• Listening – Minimal Pairs
Brainstorm!Think of possible phonological awareness
activities for:Sara: age 6.4 (shy)
• Fronting• Cluster reduction• Stopping
• Possible Interests?• Goals?• Activities?
![Page 9: Goals and Activities for Phonology - OneHealthonehealth.ca/r_alberta_nwt/video_conferences/R091002A-HOB.pdf• Between the plan and the reality ... • Singing books. Read It Again!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070609/5ad4327a7f8b9a0f198ea6da/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Expressive Phonology• Using the ‘sound system’ accurately
to be easily understood• Includes: the use of several
phonological processes, sound combinations
• Delays result in: Unintelligible conversation
These children ARE speaking a “different”language”
“Fun”ctional “Fun”-ology
• Play/Games• Books• Songs• Nursery Rhymes and Poems• Art• Tapping – clapping – moving
activities
Play…
Is Social and FunInvolves repetitionEncourages taking turnsInvolves repetitionEasy to respond to – even without words!Involves repetitionIntegrates many of the senses

Games
Make your own games – get the children to help (Who has “prep”time???)
Use stickers, clip art, etc…Use puzzlesUse games on-lineBargain Hunt – Value Village, Garage
SalesDollar Stores Useful “junk”
Sabotaging Play…It’s important to be aware of the position of
the target words.e.g. Final Consonant Deletion
Initial s-blends
Use: intonationpauses
Create real opportunities for communication
Games & Activities• Board games (Bingo, tic-tac-toe), Ball
games, Listening games, Sorting games, Card games
• Flip books• Word/letter/sound detectives• Toys• Dramatic Play• Puppets/Masks• Feeding Games• Mystery Games etc, etc, etc…

Let’s Play!Think of ways to use games/toys with
Joshua: age 3.4 (shy)• Final Consonant Deletion• Cluster Reduction• Syllable Deletion
What other play activities could you use?
Keep the goal in mind…

The Importance of ReadingChildren with expressive
phonological disorders in kindergarten are at risk for future reading problems…
Reading aloud is the single most important activity that leads to reading success!

Create Opportunities by…
• Wondering• Commenting• Picture Gazing• Predicting• Leaving Space
Predictable Stories
• High Interest - children want to hear them again and again
• Appeal to children’s natural enjoyment of rhythm and rhyme
• Repetitive– Create opportunities for children to listen to,
anticipate, predict and take their turn– Become easy for children to “read” and are easily
memorized– Reduce cognitive demands of attending to both
content and form
Selecting Books• Rhyming books • Sound play books• Word play books (Chicka,Chicka Boom,
Boom)• Specific sound books/stories (Phono
Friends)• Pattern books• Wordless books• Singing books

• Say what?!?• Rainbow• Cartoon Voice• Missing word• Shadow
Adapting/Creating BooksRe-write pattern stories: • Brown Bear to: Old Witch (or Little Lamb
or Spiderman or..)
• Rosie’s Walk to: Gus the Ghost (or Pete the Pet or Sponge Bob or Bob the Builder or…)
Superman, where are you?
Spiderman, Spiderman, what do you see?

Let’s Read – Let’s Write!Think of ways to “read”/adapt books for
Danny: age 5.7 (chatty) to increase the awareness of:• Cluster Reduction• Rhyme• Initial Stridents• Velars
What else can you do?What do you need to keep in mind?
More Reading Activities…
Singing as a Learning Tool:• It’s a natural and enjoyable part of
everyday (hear music on TV, radio, in the car, etc…)
• It’s a repetitious form of play; children quickly learn to recognize a tune and anticipate what’s coming next
• Children respond to rhythm and intonation before they understand the spoken word
• We can adjust the volume and pace to meet the needs of each child
![Page 17: Goals and Activities for Phonology - OneHealthonehealth.ca/r_alberta_nwt/video_conferences/R091002A-HOB.pdf• Between the plan and the reality ... • Singing books.

Why Sing?• Music makes learning easy
and fun• Breaks information into easily
remembered pieces• Adapting the words or actions
of familiar songs encourages children to join in
• Changing words to familiar songs make them have more meaning to children
Adapting to Share Music
• Slow down• Repeat, repeat, repeat• Encourage the child to
take a turn• Action songs• Add language and
experience• Make up songs about
what you’re doing
Musical Opportunities…Use familiar tunes: Mary Had a Little LambMy friend Pete
Wants to eat, wants to eat (etc..)The Wheels on the Bus99 Bottles of “pop” (all Nursery Rhymes or 4
line poems/rhyming books, etc)Twinkle, Twinkle

Silly Songs
Create/use songs that emphasize:– Language fun (Skinnamarinkadink,
Doodly-Doo, Tooty-Ta)– Rhyme (Down by the Bay, Name game)– Specific sounds and sound awareness
(Silly Songs, Animated Literacy)– Phoneme skills (Songs for phonemic
awareness)
Sing-a-Long: “Workshop Idol”:
How could you use songs in your work withCindy: age 4.6 (chatty)
to facilitate the awareness and production of
• Final Consonant• Clusters• Velars and Palatals
Nursery RhymesHelp develop:• Early speech sounds• Pre-reading skills• Vocabulary• Basic Concepts• Phonological awareness
Choose one that has the target pattern. For example: ???

Rhyme time
Think of how poems, silly songs, finger plays can be used to facilitate learning about:
• Final Consonant Deletion/Awareness• Syllable Deletion/Awareness• Prosody/Intonation
What other activities could you use?
The Beat Goes On…
• Hear, feel and move to rhythm
• See, touch, hear and play instruments
• Pair action and song
Movement Activities
• Clapping – tapping – rapping• “Dance” the sounds/syllables• Puppets, fingerplays, roleplays• Tug – of – wars

A Word about ThemesAdapt games to match themes (easy idea:
make board game with “theme” stickers)Chose theme-based books that include
phonological targetsMake theme based book that includes
targetsSing (adapt) theme based songs to include
targets

Remember the goal!
Arts and Crafts
• Excellent opportunities for “Hands-on”learning and conversation
• A great way to have children help create “materials” to use in an activity
• It’s the process, not the product (it doesn’t have to be perfect!!!)
Keep the goal in mind!
