Peek inside the deck

These cards practice the N sound at the beginning of words (N initial position), like n-n-nose. Tap any card to open the full player — every card speaks its word out loud.

One deck, three levels

The level dial rewrites every card live — the same picture grows with your child from single words to full sentences. Here’s card one:

1 · Wordnose
2 · Phrasea button nose
3 · SentenceI smell flowers with my nose.

The full initial n words list

Practicing at home? Start with today’s five

Parent mode picks five words for today — nose, nest, net, nut, nine — so a session can be two minutes on the couch, not a curriculum. Every card comes with a plain-language prompt like this one:

“Hum the n first: nnn—nose. Then ask: What do we smell with?”

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 →

Common questions

What are initial n words?

Words with the N sound at the start — like nose, nest, net, nut, nine. This free deck gives you 20 of them as talking flashcards: every card shows a picture, says its word out loud, and can grow the word into a phrase or full sentence.

How do I practice the N sound at home?

Pick a card, tap the speaker to hear the word, and have your child say it back. Use the built-in recorder so your child can hear their own try next to the model. Start at word level, and move the level dial up to phrases and sentences when single words feel easy. Each card includes a parent prompt in plain language.

Is this deck really free?

Yes. All 20 cards, the audio, the level dial, and record-and-playback are free in your browser with no login, no download, and no locked cards.

Where do my child’s recordings go?

Nowhere. Recordings play back on your device only — they are never uploaded or saved, and they disappear when you close the page.

Does this replace speech therapy?

No. Little Words is a practice tool for home and for sessions. If you have concerns about your child’s speech, a licensed speech-language pathologist can evaluate and guide you — these cards are a way to practice between conversations, not a diagnosis or a treatment plan.
