These cards practice the H sound at the beginning of words (H initial position), including hat, hot, hit, hop, hug, hi, and hay. Tap any card to open the full player; every card speaks its word out loud.
The level dial rewrites every card live; the same picture grows with your child from single words to full sentences. Here’s card one:
Parent mode picks five words for today; hat, hot, hit, hop, hug; so a session can be two minutes on the couch, not a curriculum. Every card comes with a plain-language prompt like this one:
“Let a quiet breath come first: hhh, hat. Then ask: What do we wear on our head?”
Working on this in speech sessions? The player also has a clinician side: draw on any card, jot a note, and use record-and-playback for listen-then-say practice. See the SLP tour →
Initial H words begin with a gentle breathy H sound. This deck includes hat, hot, hit, hop, hip, hug, hi, hay, and twelve more pictured targets.
Keep the mouth open and let a gentle stream of air move through the throat and mouth. The tongue and lips then move into position for the next vowel. Use the cues selected by the child's SLP when the child is receiving speech therapy.
Choose a small group of appropriate targets. Practice them during play, familiar routines, or a short structured activity. Children can listen, point, approximate, or speak. Repetition may be useful when it matches the child's individual plan.
Yes. All 20 cards, owned audio, level controls, and record-and-playback are free in the browser without an account.
No. This is an educational practice resource, not an individualized assessment, diagnosis, or treatment plan. A qualified speech-language pathologist can select appropriate targets and cues.
