Word/Phrase/Sentences picture pages- four pictures/target words per page; each target word is trained in utterances of increasing length (e.g., ate, the dog ate, the dog ate everything on his plate); phrases and sentences are loaded with the target vowel sound; target words systematically increase in length and complexity
Word list- a practice list that includes the pictured words (on the Single Word and Word/Phrase/Sentences activity sheets) and additional words in VC, VCC, CV, CCV, CCCV, CVC, CCVC, CVCC, CCVCC, and CCCVC combinations
Generalization picture pages- illustrations with a short story or poem loaded with the target vowel sounds
Personalized Practice- each word is presented with a picture and blank lines so you can customize the practice to your client

The generalization and personal practice pages are available online via a code that comes with the book. This supplemental material contains additional printable pages of therapy materials in PDF format.
