Below you will find audio files containing words from lists of target sounds. Please consult with your child's SLP to determine which sound your child is currently working on. Sounds are targeted in a specific sequence based on your child’s speech sound errors. The purpose of focused auditory stimulation (aka listening lists) is to enhance the child's awareness of the target sounds. The student does not practice the words during the listening task. You may be asked to perform the listening task as a home assignment to support intervention provided during therapy. Lists can be played from 1-3 minutes (replay file if necessary). If you prefer to read sound lists to your child yourself, please scroll down to the end of this page.

LISTENING LISTS:
These lists are intended for you to read to your child to help increase their awareness of the sound or sound pattern being worked on in therapy.
The following points should be kept in mind:
1. Try to read the words to your child once a day.
2. Try to pick a time when you and your child can be alone and in a quiet place.
3. Make sure your child understands that they are only to listen. Ask them to sit quietly. They should NOT be asked to repeat the words. Discourage them from repeating especially if they are not saying the words correctly. We want to avoid having them practice saying the sound the wrong way.
4. DON'T OVER-EMPHASIZE THE WORDS. Just speak clearly and at a relaxed pace (as if you were reading a story to them).
5. There are 40 words listed under each "sound target" (e.g. /s/ in the middle of the word). You may read the list up to 2 times.
6. Only read the word lists for the current sound your child is targeting as directed by the SLP.
