This resource was created in order to help Speech Language Pathologists target initial phonemes at the word level.

The h-insertion trick can be an extremely helpful strategy to use when children are stuck at the isolation level of a sound. By producing /h/ after the initial sound, the child continues their air flow, making it easier to produce the following vowel. This helps them to eliminate the prior habit of producing the incorrect sound.

Find the Full H-Insertion Resource Here!

If you haven't tried /h/-insertion, download this FREEBIE and see it work it's magic!

H-Insertion can help target the following:

• Phonological Processes: prevocalic voicing, gliding, backing, fronting, stopping, deaffrication, labialization, denasalization, excessive nasal emissions, initial consonant deletion
• Motor planning and sound transitions for children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech
• Sound production for children with Dysarthria or weak articulatory musculature
• Myofunctional disorders including frontal lisp, lateral lisp, limited lip rounding
• Articulation disorders to target initial /b/, initial /k/, initial /d/, initial /f/, initial /g/, initial "j", initial /l/, initial /m/, initial /n/, initial /p/, initial /r/, initial /s/, initial /t/, initial /v/, initial /w/, initial "y", initial /z/

There are 33 coloring worksheets which focus on letter recognition and phonics, with a focus on beginning sounds. Pictures are simple to encourage students to color in the lines. Each page focuses on using and recognizing primary and secondary colors (red, blue, yellow, orange, green, purple, brown, and black). You can ask the child to trace the letter and word on the top of the page.

Make sure to note:

This is for ONE Bible Story Decodable reader resource. Others are /will be listed separately in my store.

For most decodable readers the writer can ‘make up’ a story by choosing from only these types of words. However, to accurately tell the Bible story, I had to use a few sight words and Bible vocabulary.

These are not meant to be in-depth Bible lessons. These are meant to support your reading program, integrating the Bible into early learning!

These words are beneficial for early readers because they introduce basic phonics skills, helping students recognize and blend vowel and consonant sounds. Mastering VC words builds a strong foundation for decoding more complex words, improves reading fluency, and boosts confidence in early literacy development.
