Here are a couple of fun worksheets and games that you can use in your therapy room to work on the final l sound.

Feeling like you don’t have enough time to work on your child or student’s final l sound?

Articulation therapy can be as simple as 5 minutes of practice a day.

Here is a list of 5-minute therapy ideas to work on the final l sound.

The /l/ sound is made by placing the tip of your tongue behind your front teeth. Your child or student should aim for the little bump or ridge behind their teeth.

Then they need to relax their tongue and let the air pass on either side of their tongue while making their sound “loud” in order to turn on their voice.

They can tell that their voice is turned on by touching their voice box on their neck and feeling it vibrate.

We hope you have found this article helpful for working on your child or student’s final l sound.
