Pediatric Speech Therapy at the Boston Ability Center: Activities to target the "k" and "g" sounds
Updated: Apr 26, 2021
Our SLPs are back with recommendations for speech sound home practice, and this week our focus is on “k” and “g”. Here are some of our favorite online books and games to practice these sounds in a fun and functional way!
Books:
These books offer opportunities for a lot of repeated practice with “k” and “g”! While reading these books, ask your child to say, “Can you turn the page?” or “Go to the next page!” You can also model comments like “This is a good book” or “I like it!” You can have your child describe what they see or help you finish your sentence as you read (e.g., Good night … gorilla!”)

Games:
Playing online games is a great way to elicit your child’s target speech sounds through comments, directives, and requests! Try taking turns controlling the game. When your child is playing, ask them to describe what they are doing. When you are playing, ask your child to give you directions. Get even more practice with “k” and “g” by asking your child to say “Ready, set, go”, “Click the button,”
As always, keep in mind the complexity of the task. If your child is doing well with the single word “go” gradually increase the phrase length: “go faster, let’s go faster, let’s go to the top.”

Khi đọc các bài giới thiệu nền tảng giải trí, tôi thường thích những bài viết ngắn gọn để có thể xem nhanh trên điện thoại. Bài viết này có bố cục khá dễ theo dõi khi phần nhắc đến b52 được đặt ở giữa nội dung. Điều đó giúp mạch bài trở nên tự nhiên hơn và không tạo cảm giác quảng cáo quá sớm. Nội dung tập trung vào trải nghiệm chung của người dùng với giao diện dễ sử dụng và nhiều danh mục quen thuộc như slot, game bài hay mini game. Nhìn chung cách diễn đạt khá nhẹ nhàng và dễ hiểu.
Does BK8.TODAY work smoothly on mobile, or is desktop better?
Hồi sáng nay trong khi mình đang đọc các bình luận trao đổi trên mạng, mình thấy ok 8386 được chèn vào và được mọi người nhắc tới nhiều. Mình bấm xem cho biết, để xem cách trình bày và cấu trúc nội dung. Lướt nhanh thì thấy tổng thể khá gọn gàng, tạo cảm giác đáng tin cậy. Với mình, chỉ cần nội dung gọn gàng như vậy là đủ để mình nắm bắt thông tin cơ bản.
This morning, while I was reading discussion comments online, I noticed Ph8 being inserted and mentioned frequently by many people. I clicked on it out of curiosity to see its presentation style and content structure. After a quick browse, I found the overall layout quite neat and giving a trustworthy impression. For me, having concise and organized content like that is enough to help me grasp the basic information.
Mùa hè ở Hà Nội mà không xem trước dự báo thời tiết Hà Nội thì rất dễ bị bất ngờ, nhất là lúc trưa nắng gắt hoặc chiều đổ mưa nhanh. Website này làm mình thích vì thông tin rõ, cập nhật nhanh và xem một lần là đủ dùng cho cả ngày. Mình cũng hay dùng để chuẩn bị cho các buổi cà phê, đi bộ, hoặc chạy xe xa. Có thêm độ ẩm và gió nên mình đoán được hôm nay sẽ “dễ chịu” hay “ngột ngạt” hơn.
