Explore the S Sound through play, pictures and hands-on learning!

Sound-by-Sound: Explore the S Sound is a fun, activity-packed early learning workbook that helps children explore the S sound while developing important skills for language, literacy and learning.

Created by Garth Schindel, a Speech-Language Pathologist with more than 30 years of experience helping children and families, this workbook combines speech-sound practice with activities children already enjoy.

Powerful Sound Cues represent each sound in every word. These unique symbols and hand gestures boosts learning and makes sounds more meaningful. English is confusing – Sound Cues help!

Children can work through games, mazes, colouring, cutting, matching, listening, talking, early reading, thinking activities and more.

Children will have opportunities to:

• Notice and listen for the S sound
• Practise saying S in words and sentences
• Build vocabulary and language skills
• Develop sound awareness and early reading skills
• Strengthen listening, memory and reasoning
• Practise cutting, colouring and other fine-motor skills

The activities explore the S sound at the beginning, middle and end of words, giving children lots of opportunities to hear, find and practise the sound in different words. 10 core target words plus 8 additional ones for S in each position.
