- Three tic-tac-toe grids on one page
- Nine SH Sound words per board, shuffled differently each time
- Big squares so an X can go straight over the word
Everything on this sheet is built from the sh sound content already on the site, so the pictures and words match what your child sees when you practise on screen: shoe, ship, shell, sheep, shirt, shovel.
How to use it
- Say the word to claim the square. Three tries, then draw.
- Play the grown-up turn out loud so your child hears the word twice.
- One page is three games, which is about the right length.

Frequently asked questions
Is this printable really free?
Yes. Download it, print it, copy it for a whole caseload. No email address, no account, no watermark.
What is on the tic-tac-toe boards?
1 US Letter page: three tic-tac-toe grids on one page; nine SH Sound words per board, shuffled differently each time; big squares so an X can go straight over the word.
Will it print in black and white?
It will. There are no filled backgrounds, so a school copier costs you the same ink as a blank page. Colour is a bonus, not a requirement.
How long should we spend on it?
One page is three games, which is about the right length.
This page is meant as educational support for home practice, not a diagnosis. It's not a medical device, not a replacement for AAC, and not a substitute for a licensed speech-language pathologist, pediatrician, early intervention program, or school evaluation team. If you have concerns about your child's speech, the right next step is a conversation with a qualified professional who can actually see and hear your child.
