Each sound is organized by word position, including beginning, middle, final, and blend targets where supported.

• 8 reading passages
• 128 sound riddles

PRACTICE MODES

Articulation Lab offers multiple practice formats to support articulation practice across syllable, word, sentence, and reading levels.

Sound Warm-Up
Children begin with syllable-level practice to focus on sound placement and repetition before moving into words.

Word Practice
Target words are presented with clear visuals and recorded audio models. Children listen, repeat, and practice sounds in different word positions.

Minimal Pair Practice
Children compare similar-sounding word pairs to build sound awareness and auditory discrimination.

Record & Listen
Children can record their own voice and listen back, helping them compare their production with the model.

Sentence Practice
Target sounds are practiced in short sentences with audio support, helping children move from word-level practice toward connected speech.

Reading Passages
Short reading passages provide additional practice for children who are ready to use target sounds in longer connected speech.

Make a Sentence
Children use target words to create their own sentences, supporting carryover and expressive language practice.

INTERACTIVE GAMES

Articulation Lab includes 6 speech-focused games:

• Sound Check
• Tap What You Hear
• Sound Riddles
• Memory Game
• Where Is the Sound?
• Sound Hunt

These games help children practice listening, sound identification, word position awareness, memory, and target vocabulary in a playful way.

PROGRESS AND PRACTICE SUPPORT

The app supports repeated practice and keeps activity progress organized by sound. Parents, caregivers, teachers, and speech-language professionals can use the app to guide practice, review target sounds, and support carryover between sessions.

FRIENDLY DESIGN FOR CHILDREN

Articulation Lab uses colorful visuals, simple navigation, encouraging feedback, and a friendly dinosaur mascot to keep practice motivating. Audio prompts and feedback sounds can be adjusted in settings.

DESIGNED FOR REAL SPEECH PRACTICE

Every feature in Articulation Lab is built around practical articulation work. Sessions start quickly, activities are easy to understand, and the interface is designed to keep the focus on the child’s speech practice.

Articulation Lab is designed to support speech practice, not to diagnose, treat, or replace professional speech therapy. For concerns about a child’s speech or language development, please consult a licensed speech-language professional.
