Multiphonemic project

Last year, I was turned on to these really old multiphonemic cards (with pictures representing sounds, not necessarily the letter) by one of my supervisors. I copied the old ones, and have been using them as quick 3-minute warm-ups for my young students with moderate/severe phonological process disorders. Basically, the cards go through all phonemes in isolation. Once students learn the associations of the picture of the card and the sound, I can use the cards as a visual reminder to point to while they are working. I usually run through all of the cards at the beginning of the session, then pull 1-2 to work on specifically with other materials like picture cards.


Then, I ran into this same concept in another new book. This book had a page with small flashcards with essentially the same idea (although with different pictures). So, I copied this page and had my students color the pictures. Then, I created "parent instructions" and laminated these two front and back to send home to practice.

After that, I blew up the pictures to a larger size, colored them, laminated them, and velcroed them to my wall. Now, at the beginning of each session, we run through all the sounds. Then, when we are working, I can refer to the picture cue by pointing or by taking off of the wall and putting it in front of my student.
