Pictures for Initial Sound Fluency Practice These are

Pictures for Initial Sound Fluency Practice These are pictures for Initial Sound Fluency practice. They come from Microsoft Clip Art. About 32/90 of the picture words come from the K Progress Monitoring for Initial Sound Fluency, Fifth Edition. After this slide, the next 10 slides are the pictures and then the following 10 slides are the words for the back of the pictures. My suggestion is to print (on card stock) the 10 slides (slides 2 - 11), then re -insert the pages into your printer so that the names of the pictures print out on the back of the cards (slides 12 – 21). Make sure that the correct word is printing on the back of the correct picture before you print them all! My suggestion is that teachers use these to help with instruction on Initial Sound Fluency. With these cards, the teacher could use some of them as a drill. (“Tell me the initial sound in the following words. ”) Also, the teacher could put only two pictures in front of the child and then work up to four pictures as the student is able to handle more pictures. I suggest using similar wording as the DIBELS assessment: “This is yolk. What is this? (yolk). This is umpire. What is this? (umpire). Which picture starts with /u/? What sound does “yolk” start with? ” (/y/) Both of these examples are practice activities for the student. I hope you will find these helpful as you help children develop initial sound fluency.
