V Reading Paragraphs

A little rainbow of her own.

Vegetables come in a large variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. My neighbor, Vi, owns a vegetable farm. The farm belonged to her parents until they became too old to work on it. Vi started farming when she was seven. She didn't know how much she loved her vegetable farm until she tried something else. 

For a few years, she saved her money to become a vet. She liked animals and thought she would enjoy helping them. She volunteered at a veterinary clinic. During her visit, she observed mostly nice animals, but some were very mean. 

After this experience she was convinced that she wasn't brave enough to work as a veterinarian. Besides, she liked the privacy she had while working on the farm. Having and working on her own land gave her a strong sense of satisfaction. She believed that she was part of her environment and that was her driving force to grow the freshest vegetables in the valley.

Vi was positive that her vegetable farm was her own piece of heaven. She loved what she did and that was enough for her.

Vance's Vacation

Every summer Vance and his family went on vacation to Beaver Mountain. It only took them a few hours to travel there from their home in Vermont. They spent seven days hiking, playing volleyball, and driving all over the mountain in their van. Vance's family loved to explore different parts of the mountain as well as the small village on the South side.

Their family always went to the drive-in and watched a movie at least one night during their vacation. The village also had fun shops and stores with clever souvenirs that Vance bought each year to remember their vacation that summer. This year he bought a miniature volcano from the souvenir shop.

There was an old folktale about Beaver Mountain that was told by one of the village's oldest residents. The man's name was Mr. Dove. He was ninety-seven.

He told the story about how Beaver Mountain used to be an active volcano. He said hundreds of years ago Beaver Mountain was just a valley, until there was a big earthquake that caused the Mountain to form. The earthquake was so violent that it caused lava to come out of the top of the mountain.

"During that time there were rivers of lava," Mr. Dove said. Vance closed his eyes and tried to imagine what it would have been like to drive around all the lava during those days.

"We probably would have gone on vacation somewhere else," he said to his Mom, giggling.

Vance was glad there wasn't a river of lava all around Beaver Mountain. He loved visiting every summer and didn't want that to change.

Learning Violin

Learning to play the violin takes many years of lessons and practice. Vicki had just started playing and was at a beginner's level. On Valentine's Day, she had heard the most beautiful violin solo. She saw a couple having dinner by the river. They were staring into each other's eyes and she could tell they were in love.

When the man started playing the violin for the couple, something happened inside Vicki. She thought the violin sounded so beautiful that she wanted to learn how to play it. The trouble was, she really liked playing video games. Video games are much more fun to play than practicing the violin. Vicki didn't think about that when she asked her mom if she could take violin lessons.

At first, Vicki dove right in. She practiced five nights a week. She had visions of herself playing the violin for the governor or on a boat in Venice for a couple in love. However, as Vicki improved her skills, the music she played became more advanced. She would have to practice longer and think harder about the music she was playing. Playing video games was much easier than thinking hard about playing her violin every day.

One day, Vicki gave the violin to her mom.

"I don't want to play the violin anymore, it's too hard," she said. But Vicki's mom didn't want her quit. She knew playing the violin would be a valuable skill that Vicki could have for the rest of her life. Vicki's mom visited her during lunch at school the next day.

"If playing the violin was easy then everyone would do it," her mom said. "Remember the vision you had for yourself about playing the violin professionally?" she asked.

"Yes." said Vicki.

"I don't expect you to become a master violinist, unless you want to be. But there is a lot of value in knowing how to play an instrument and you will receive more of a personal victory by continuing and not quitting. Please don't stop," she said.

Vicki thought about it the rest of the day. That night when her mom was putting the vacuum away, Vicki told her she would not quit playing the violin. Her mom knew what she could achieve and was happy with Vicki's decision.

This list of functional words was professionally selected to be the most useful for a child or adult who has difficulty with producing the "V" sound.

We encourage you to use this list when practicing at home.

Doing home practice will help your child make much faster progress toward correct production.

Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) are only able to see students/clients 30-60 mins (or less) per week.

This is not enough time  for your child to overcome an articulation disorder with the "V" sound. But with high caseloads...

...it's all SLPs can do.

There's  only so much time  in the day.

Every day that your child goes without practice  it becomes more and more difficult  to correct an "V" error because he/she continues to say it incorrectly.

We know life is busy , but if you're reading this you're probably someone who cares about helping their loved one as much as you can.

Practice 5-10 minutes whenever you can, but try to do it on a consistent basis (daily).

Please, please, please use this list to practice.

It will be a great benefit to you and your loved one's progress.

340+ V Words Speech Therapy {PDF Worksheets!}

Calling all Speech-Language Pathologists or parents looking for v words to practice with your child or student. This blog is just what you need! It has over 340 words making your v words speech therapy articulation practice that much easier. 

V Words Speech Therapy

As a speech therapist, I was always on the lookout for articulation lists that I could use in my speech therapy sessions. That’s why I’m on a mission to bring to you an articulation list of all our students’ speech sounds. 

Correct Production

Let’s review how to make the correct sound production of the v sound in the English language. 

• Teeth: The /v/ sound is made by placing your upper teeth on top of your bottom lip.
• Lip Position: Again the v sound is made by placing the lower lip under the top teeth.
• Voice: This sound is a voice sound. The sound is made from the vocal cords vibrating. 

You can tell that you’re vibrating your vocal folds by placing your hand on your larynx (where an adam apple is located) and feel for a vibration. This is the only difference between the v and f sound. 

Placement Visual: If you need a visual for placement be sure to check out the Speech Sound Visual Posters by A Perfect Blend.  Visual Feedback: Using a mirror can also provide your child or student with a great visual feedback.

Years of Age

The v sound is a later developing sound. Children will master the v sound by the age of 5-6 years old according to the GFTA-2 Standardized sample. 

If you believe your child might have an articulation disorder then you’ll want to seek out a Speech Language Pathologist to see if your child would qualify for a speech therapy session and for the speech therapist to provide you with a therapy road map for your child.

Target Words

Here’s a list of v articulation therapy sounds for you to use in therapy or at home practice to work on your student or child’s new sound.

• For Example: van, vet, vroom, visit, vacuum, vanilla, November, beaver, avocado, shovel, lava, oval, glove, dive, wave, beehive, five

See full list of words, phrases, and sentences below.

Be sure to grab my one page freebie of v sounds in the initial medial final word positions below. Plus it comes with real-life little pictures. Simply scroll to the bottom of this post and grab your free copy!

Word Positions: V Words Speech Therapy 

Initial position of words.

The initial position of the v sound is at the beginning of a word. For example, “vote” or “vent”.

Medial Position of Words

Some words have the v sound in the medial position of a word, such as “deliver”, “over”, and “adventure”.

Final Positions of Words

The final positions of words are when the target sound is at the end of a word. For example, “give” or “olive”.

Minimal Pairs

A great way to work on sound production is through minimal pairs .

A minimal pair is two words that differ by only one phoneme, in this case, the /v/ sound.

For example, “vase” and “face”.

When you pronounce these words side by side, it’s easy to hear the difference in the initial sound.

Having a list of initial v minimal pairs is a great way to work on correct production, especially for your students working on their phonological processes !

Phonological Process of Stopping

Do you have students who struggle to pronounce certain sounds by making substitutions? 

The stopping phonological process is when a child produces a stop consonant /p, b, t, d, k, or g/ in place of a fricative /f, v, th, s, z, sh, ch/ or an affricate sound /j/.

If you answered yes, then you’ll want to make sure to grab my minimal pairs worksheets for stopping initial /f/ vs initial /p/ set .

V Words at the Single Words Level

Some ways to practice include having your child or student say each v word one by one as they go through a list. 

Using a dot marker can also be a fun way to practice having your child put a dot under each v sound. 

In addition, I’ve compiled an easy-to-download one page overview of v sounds below. Simply scroll down to the bottom of this post and download your free copy.

V Words for Speech Therapy (Word Lists and Activities)

If you’re a speech-language pathologist looking for a quick list of initial and final v target words to practice during speech therapy, make sure to bookmark this post. You’ll also find some great ideas for making therapy more fun with a variety of engaging games , resources, and speech therapy activities for teaching the v sound. Not only does this blog post provide a list of initial, medial, and final v words, but it also suggests a variety of strategies for teaching correct placement.

Correct Production of V

Just like the f sound, the v sound is a labiodental fricative sound. The only difference, however, is that the v sound is voiced, meaning that the vocal cords, or vocal folds, vibrate. To produce the v sound, the top teeth need to rest against the bottom lip. When the top front teeth are placed on the lower lip, the air is directed through, and there is audible friction when this occurs. The result will be /v/ in isolation.

Peña-Brooks Adriana, and M. N. Hegde. “Chapter 8- Therapy for Phonetic Errors.” Articulation and Phonological Disorders: Assessment and Treatment Resource Manual , PRO-ED, Austin, TX, 2007,

How To Teach the V Sound in Speech Therapy

Many of the same treatment approaches for the f sound can be used to elicit the v sound. The child will need to learn how to turn the “voice on” to produce a v.

A great way to provide is a tactile cue is to tap your bottom lip.

Try giving the v sound a “funny name” for young children. While the f sound could be termed “the bunny teeth sound”, the v sound could be the “vroom vroom” sound.

Try placing a mirror in front of your student. Have him bite on his lower lip, and make sure he can see his upper teeth. Then have him blow air while drawing attention to the vibration that occurs with a voiced v sound.

Students with phonological disorders may exhibit a process called stopping . If a student stops the v sound (i.e., says “ban” for “van”), try slowing things down. Model the v sound, pause, then say the rest of the word. This technique can also work for a stop insertion error (i.e. your student says ‘b….van’). Model the v sound, open your mouth wide and exaggerate the vowel, then say the rest of the word. “V…AAAAAAn.” Read more about the different phonological processes .

 Speech pathologists may benefit by having the child  keep the jaw in an elevated position . Try to encourage jaw stability.

How to Teach the F Sound and V Sounds

Have you ever noticed how closely related the /f/ and /v/ sounds are? The /f/ sound is made by touching the upper teeth to the lower lip and then breathing out. The /v/ sound is made exactly the same way except for when you make the /v/ sound you “turn on” your voice. Knowing this helps us understand why when kids have trouble with the /f/ sound they most likely have trouble with the /v/ sound as well. That is why I have decided to write about how to teach both the /f/ and /v/ sounds in the same post.

One thing to keep in mind before we go any further is that the /f/ sound is typically mastered between the ages of 3 and 4, and the /v/ sound isn’t typically mastered until kids are about 5 or 6. So if your little toddler still says “pood” for “food” or “bery” for “very” don’t be too concerned. If, however, you would like to try teaching your children how to say these sounds correctly and they struggle with both the /f/ and /v/ sounds I would recommend starting with the /f/ sound first.

Before teaching any sound it is important to make sure the child is able to say that sound in isolation (all by itself). If the child cannot say the sound in isolation then we have to teach them how.

How to Teach the F Sound in Isolation:

The /f/ and /v/ sounds are fun sounds to teach because they are visually easy to see. The first thing I typically do when I teach these sounds is grab the mirror. After I model how to make the sound (by biting my lower lip and breathing out) I have the kids look in the mirror to make sure they are doing exactly what I am doing. It makes them feel so good when they see themselves doing it correctly!

Once they understand how to make the sound I tell them to think of the /f/ sound as the sound of an angry cat. Then we curl our fingers like the claws of a cat and practice making the sound together. I later use the “Angry Cat” as a cue (when we move onto words, sentences and stories) for the child to use his or her good /f/ sound.

How to Teach the V Sound in Isolation:

Like I mentioned above the only difference between the /f/ sound and the /v/ sound is the voice. So, if the child you are working with can say the /f/ sound, teaching the /v/ sound is easy. Simply tell them to say the /f/ sound and then “turn on” their voice for the /v/ sound. You may want to have them feel the vibrations on their throat or lower lip when making the sound. This will help them distinguish the difference between these sounds.

Once they can say the /v/ sound a fun way to practice it is to call it the “Revving engine” sound. Together pretend you are revving an engine while you take turns saying “vvvv, vvv, VVV.” Adding some toy cars makes it a lot of fun. Sometimes I use the sign language sign for driving a car as a cue later to help them remember to say their good /v/ sound when we start working in words, sentences or stories.

How to Teach the F and V Sounds in Syllables:

Once your child can say the /f/ and or /v/ sounds in isolation you are ready to put them into syllables. Think of syllables as a baby step that helps make the transition from isolation to words a little smoother. Practicing words in syllables can also help determine in which position of words (initial, medial or final) you should begin practicing the /f/ or /v/ sound.

To practice the sound in syllables simply add a vowel after the /f/ sound for the initial (beginning) position, before the /f/ sound for the final position, and before and after the /f/ sound for the medial (middle) position, being sure to practice the long and short form of each vowel.

My favorite way to practice initial /f/ syllables is to practice saying, “Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum (and with my own kids) I’m going to tickle your tummy, tum tum. We have a lot of giggles with this one as I chase them around the house! They especially love it when it’s their turn and they get to come after me. Yikes!

Some final /f/ syllables would be “aff, eff, if, off, and uff. Some medial /f/ syllables would be, “affu, effi, iffa, uffo, and offee. Do the same with the /v/ sound adding vowels to the sound for practice at the syllable level.

If your child is the most successful with the /f/ or /v/ sound in the initial position of syllables then begin by practicing the /f/ or /v/ sound in initial position of words. If your child has more success with the /f/ or /v/ sound in the final position of syllables begin by practicing the /f/ or /v/ sound in the final position of words and so on. Kids typically have an easier time with the initial or final syllables which is why I usually start with one of those.

How to Teach the F and a V Sounds in Words:

Once the /f/ and /v/ sounds are mastered in syllables and you have decided which position (initial, medial or final) you want to target you are ready to practice them in words. You can use the word cards I have created on the worksheets page to practice the /f/ and /v/ sounds. Once the sounds are said in words correctly (at least 80% of the time) you are ready to practice the /f/ and /v/ sounds in sentences.

How to Teach the F and V Sounds in Sentences:

Once your child can say the /f/ and /v/ sounds correctly in words practice them in sentences. My favorite way to practice sounds in sentences is with a “rotating sentence,” which is a lot like carrier phrase. In a rotating sentence only the target word changes while the sentence stays the same. For example, an initial /f/ rotating sentence is, “Feed the funny ________ .” When you rotate your practice words through it you get sentences like, “Feed the funny fox,” or “Feed the funny fish.”

This is an especially great way to practice sentences for young children who can’t read yet. They are able to memorize the sentence, or use visual cues to help them read it aloud. You are also able to maximize the production of your target sound when you use a sentence with two or three target words in it. You may find sentences for the different positions of the /f/ and /v/ sounds on the worksheets page .

How to Teach the F and V Sounds in Stories:

Once your child can say the /f/ and /v/ sounds with about 80% accuracy in sentences you are ready for stories. For my younger children I like to prepare a story for them to practice using the sound cards they have been practicing. You may also download the stories on the worksheets page . All the stories have picture prompts to assist our little ones in retelling the stories who may not quite be reading yet.

Older kids sometimes like to write their own stories using the target words they have been practicing. They usually come up with very creative stories that are very entertaining and fun! This is great because it encourages the child to participate and get creative.

After the child has mastered reading the story aloud with about 80% accuracy I have them retell me the story without reading it. This is just another baby step toward getting an accurate production of the target sound in conversation. Once they can do this I tell them they are ready to practice the sound in conversation. So here we go, onto conversation…

How to Teach the F and V Sounds in Conversation:

Now that you have taught the /f/ and /v/ sounds in isolation, syllables, words, sentences and stories you are finally ready to help the child you are working with transition these sounds into conversation. At this point in the process it is ok to correct an inaccurate production of these sounds in conversation, in fact I would encourage you to do so. Generalizing the sound from practicing them in words, sentences and stories to conversation can be the most difficult step. If you find that they are still making really frequent mistakes it’s perfectly ok to go back and work on the sound in sentences or stories again until they get it.

For more details on to how to carry the /f/ and /v/ sounds through this process, I would suggest reading my post entitled “The Process of Articulation Therapy” . You may download and use the /f/ and /v/ sound worksheets on the worksheets page for practice.

If you have an iPad, you might also be interested in Articulation Station , an app I created based on the articulation process outlined in this post. It has all the flashcards, sentences and stories in 6 different interactive activities! The free demo comes with the P sound to try and you have the option of purchasing only the individual sounds you need from within the app. You can watch video tutorials and get more information about Articulation Station on my post “Articulation Station is on the App Store!”

I hope as you sit down to practice these sounds with your kids you will have a blast as you watch the sweet smile of success spread across their adorable little faces and remember the superstar mom (or dad) that you are!

How to Teach F Sound: Articulation Activities, and Word Lists for Effective Speech Therapy

How to teach ch sound: articulation activities, and word lists for effective speech therapy, how to teach v sound: articulation activities, and word lists for effective speech therapy.

The “v” sound is a voiced labiodental fricative, which means that it is produced by forcing air through a narrow channel between the lower lip (labial) and the upper teeth (dental) while simultaneously vibrating the vocal cords. This creates a friction noise that is similar to the “f” sound but with the addition of a buzzing or humming sensation in the throat.

To produce the “v” sound, you need to place your lower lip gently against your upper teeth and then push air through the small gap between them while simultaneously narrowing the gap with your lips and allowing your vocal cords to vibrate. This creates a continuous friction noise that is characterized by a buzzing or humming sound. You can try producing this sound by saying the word “very” or “love” and paying attention to the way your lips, breath, and vocal cords work together to create the sound. In phonetics, this sound is represented by the symbol /v/. It is also sometimes referred to as the “voiced labiodental fricative.”

Here are few tips you can follow to teach the “V” sound:

Demonstrate the sound: Start by demonstrating the “V” sound for your child. Make the sound and have your child watch your lips and mouth movements. Explain that the sound is made by placing the top teeth on the bottom lip and vibrating the vocal cords.

Visual Cue: Show the child how to place their upper teeth on their lower lip and then blow air out while making a voiced sound. You can use a mirror to help the child see how their lips and teeth are positioned. You can also use a visual cue such as a picture or flashcard of a “V” to help your child remember the sound.

Understand the sound: Help your child understand that the “V” sound is a voiced consonant made by placing the top teeth on the bottom lip and vibrating the vocal cords.

Practice Blowing: Help your child get used to the sensation of blowing out air with their mouth by having them practice blowing bubbles, blowing feathers across a table, or blowing out candles.

Practice Tongue Placement: Show your child how to keep their tongue relaxed and behind their top teeth while making the “V” sound. You can make it more fun by having them imitate animal sounds, such as a purring cat or a buzzing bee, while using the “V” sound.

Practice in Isolation: Once your child has mastered the correct tongue and mouth position, have them practice making the “V” sound on its own without any other sounds.

Add Syllables: After your child has mastered the “V” sound in isolation, have them practice using it in different syllables, such as “va,” “ve,” and “vo.” You can make it more fun by having them say silly words like “vegetable,” “vanilla,” and “volcano.”

Practice in Words: Once your child has mastered the “V” sound in syllables, have them practice using it in different words such as “van,” “vase,” and “velvet.”

Practice in Phrases: After your child has mastered the “V” sound in words, have them practice using it in phrases like “big van,” “red vase,” and “soft velvet.”

Practice in Sentences: Finally, have your child practice using the “V” sound in different sentences such as “I see a big van,” “The vase is on the table,” and “I love soft velvet.”

Practice Everywhere: Encourage your child to practice using the “V” sound in different contexts, such as during playtime, mealtime, or while reading books. You can also make it more fun by having them use the “V” sound in different accents or dialects.

V words in speech therapy

Vocabulary is a crucial aspect of speech therapy, as it encompasses the words that an individual uses to express themselves effectively. In speech therapy, building a rich and diverse vocabulary is essential for communication success. Here are some important aspects of “V words” in speech therapy:

• Vocabulary Development: Speech therapists work with individuals of all ages, including children and adults, to develop their vocabulary skills. This includes teaching new words, improving word retrieval skills, and expanding vocabulary breadth and depth. Speech therapists may use various techniques such as word association, semantic mapping, and categorization to help individuals learn and understand new words.
• Verbal Expression: The ability to use a wide range of vocabulary allows individuals to express themselves clearly and effectively. Speech therapists work on helping individuals improve their ability to verbally express their thoughts, feelings, and ideas using appropriate vocabulary. This includes teaching synonyms, antonyms, and context-dependent vocabulary to help individuals communicate more precisely and accurately.
• Vocabulary Strategies: Speech therapists also work with individuals to develop strategies for vocabulary expansion and word retrieval. This may include techniques such as word prediction, word banking, and word finding strategies to help individuals access and use their vocabulary effectively in different communication situations.
• Vocabulary Enrichment: Speech therapists often focus on enriching an individual’s vocabulary by introducing new words, concepts, and topics that are relevant and interesting to them. This may include teaching vocabulary related to specific interests or activities, such as hobbies, sports, or occupations, to help individuals communicate more effectively in their daily lives.
• Verbosity Management: Some individuals may struggle with using an excessive amount of words, known as verbosity, which can make their speech difficult to understand. Speech therapists work on helping individuals learn to use concise and appropriate vocabulary to convey their messages clearly and efficiently.
• Visual Vocabulary: In addition to spoken vocabulary, speech therapists may also work on developing visual vocabulary skills, such as sign language or visual aids, for individuals who have difficulty with verbal expression. Visual vocabulary can be a valuable communication tool for individuals with speech or language disorders, and speech therapists may incorporate visual supports to enhance communication skills.

In conclusion, vocabulary plays a significant role in speech therapy. Building a rich and diverse vocabulary is crucial for effective communication, and speech therapists work on developing vocabulary skills, improving word retrieval, teaching vocabulary strategies, enriching vocabulary, managing verbosity, and incorporating visual vocabulary as needed to help individuals communicate more effectively in their daily lives.
