Procedure:
Opening
 Introduce the targeted sound [s] by talking about going on a scavenger hunt.
 Ask the student if they know what a scavenger hunt is.
Presentation and Practice:
 Before we can go on our scavenger hunt we need to know how to make the [s] sound.
 Describe how to produce the [s] phoneme.
Are you ready to learn how to make the [s] sound so we can go on our scavenger
hunt? First let’s figure out where our tongue should be when we make the [s] sound.


Our tongue touches the top of your mouth right against the back of your top teeth.
Take your finger and touch the very top of your mouth right behind your top teeth.
Can you feel the top of your mouth is bumpy there? That is where your tongue is
going to go. Let’s practice touching your tongue on the top of your mouth. Good!
Now open your lips just a little like this (teacher demonstrates opening their mouth
slightly, looking in the mirror to model for the student). Okay now it is your turn.
Here is the mirror. Look in the mirror to make sure you make the right shape with
your lips. The last thing we have to do is to have enough air pushing through our
mouth to make the [s] sound. Are you ready to make the [s] sound? I will try it first
then it will be your turn. I am going to look in the mirror to make sure I am making
the sound right. When I make the [s] sound I am going to put my hand in front of my
mouth to feel the air from the sound (teacher demonstrates). I am going to make the
sound one more time this time I want you to put your hand in front of my mouth. Can
you feel the air? Now it is your turn. Good! Let’s practice saying the [s] sound before
we go on our scavenger hunt.
Have the student produce the [s] phoneme, placing their hand in front of their mouth
to feel the breath flow.
Go on the scavenger hunt.
Now that you know how to produce the [s] sound we are ready to go on our
scavenger hunt. Make sure you say the name of the object you find on our scavenger
hunt.
Remind the student to say the [s] sound throughout the scavenger hunt.
When finished with the scavenger hunt, have the student empty their bag and review
all of the objects that the student found.
At Home Practice Activity:
 Fill out “Today this is what I learned in speech!” take home note.
Make sure you show your mom and dad the neat tricks that we learned today that
will help you when saying the sound [s].
 Include in the take home note the words that we used to practice producing the [s]
sound and explain the activity.
 Include a copy of pictures that were used on the scavenger hunt to practice at home.
Assessment:
Place a check mark in each column if the targeted phoneme was produced correctly or
incorrectly. If the targeted phoneme is produced incorrectly record what phoneme was produced.
