  • Helpful Hints Articulation / Phonology / Voice / Fluency
Language Interventions:
  • Provide an approriate language model.
  • Allow extra time for the student to respond to questions and to request. Students need additional time for processing and formulating language.
  • Listen to the student, note grammar errors and model correct grammatical form.
  • Request repetition of correct grammatical form after a model.
  • Request a repetition of classroom directions.
  • Reduce teacher verbal output when giving instructions or presenting new topics.
  • Rephrase direction if comprehension is not evident.
  • Require the student to outline key ideas prior to oral presentations.
  • Present main idea and key words prior to any comprehension activity.
  • Give verbal and tactile cues to students to listen to auditory information.
  • Introduce new vocabulary to student prior to the activity.
  • Provide semantic cues (attributes, synonyms or sentence completion) when a student experiences difficulty recalling information.
  • Pair semantic clues with phonemic cues (give the first sound in a word) to encourage word recall.
  • Encourage students to use descriptive language.
  • Provide gestural cues (use fingers for 1, 2, 3) to assist with relating stories or events in sequence.
  • Show how nonverbal signal are important to communication.
  • Role play conversations that might occur with different people in different situations.

  • Phonological Awareness Interventions:
  • Demonstrate the relationships of parts to whole.
  • Model correct production of target sounds during all classroom activities. 
  • Segment short sentences into individual words.
  • Segment multi-syllable words into syllables.
  • Model and have the student manipulate sounds in words: Phoneme deletion (What do you get if you takethe /s/out of sit?), Word to word match (Do big and boy begin with the same sound?), Blending (What worddoes it make if you blend the sounds /p/ /a/ /t/ together?), Phoneme segmentation (What sounds do youhear in top?), Phoneme counting (How many sounds do you hear in home?), Rhyming (What rhymes withme?)
