Resources
Please make use of the tools on this page for your own learning and growth. If you are a teacher of ESL, an SLP or another educator you may use them to help others, but in this case please acknowledge their source.
Here you will find sound files you can either download or listen to online. In many cases the sound file is accompanied by a PDF file to support your practice. While you are welcome to use any of the files, it is better to focus on those that target sounds you are working on. Please use your assessment or your session goals to guide you.
The files are organized into 4 areas: 1) Workbook, 2) Vowels, 3) Consonants, 4) Readings
