When teaching young children to talk and say new words speech therapists talk about teaching “sounds” and not “letters”. The purpose of the sound cues is to teach children SOUNDS by giving them a visual cue they can relate to. Many times when children are learning new sounds they come in the form of an environmental sound for example “hhhh” for a dog or “oooo ahah” for a monkey. The cards were built around this premise.
