Using /g/ sound practice together
This page focuses on /g/ sound practice. The word bank below shows the positions available in this particular deck.
A short way to begin
Start with guitar or another familiar picture from this deck.
Select Shape & say to explore the illustrated placement, or Sound detective to match a spoken word to a picture.
Use One word, A little phrase or A whole sentence to change the model you hear.
Optionally record a short turn and listen back together. The game does not score speech accuracy.
Adapt this activity
Tuck your tongue tip down behind your bottom teeth, lift the back of your tongue to touch the soft palate, and turn your throat motor ON for a bouncy 'gulping' /g/ sound.
What the feedback means
A schematic mouth picture cannot show every tongue shape or the learner’s own movement. Synthetic pronunciation models, dialect and individual anatomy vary; a speech-language pathologist can select appropriate targets.
