Master /s/-clusters through structured, high-repetition practice!

Give your students the focused articulation support they need with Speech Corner Photo Cards for S-Clusters 2 and 3-Element-Single Words—a dynamic tool for practicing both 2-element and 3-element /s/-clusters at the word level. With built-in repetition tracking and realistic photo stimuli, these cards turn drill-based sessions into goal-driven progress.

Track success—10 times per word!

Each card includes 10 open repetition circles for students to touch, check off, sticker, or mark with a dry-erase marker. The visual and tactile feedback helps maintain focus and motivation while supporting motor learning and carryover.

Covers 15 common /s/-clusters:

• Initial 2-element clusters: /st/, /sn/, /sk/, /sp/, /sl/, /sm/, /sw/

• Initial 3-element clusters: /stɹ/, /spɹ/, /skɹ/, /skw/, /spl/

• Final clusters: /ts/, /ps/, /ks/

Targets essential articulation goals:

• Correct production of /s/-blends in isolation and context

• High-frequency drill practice to encourage sound stability

• Self-monitoring and progress tracking

• Increased awareness of word structure and complexity

Perfect for:

• Students working on initial or final /s/-clusters
