Practice tools to share with families

Sally Says is a free set of practice tools you can send to families: games, speech-sound audio and printable worksheets. It doesn't replace your therapy. It helps the practice happen between visits.

What you can use today

  • 41 games across listening, sound contrasts, phonological awareness, articulation (sound to conversation) and fluency.
  • 50 sounds and blends (e.g. S, SH, SP, STR), each with example words and audio.
  • Printable worksheets by sound, age and level.
  • No logins for families. Send a link; it works on a phone.

Built the way you'd build it

  • Chosen by sound. Words are chosen for the sound children hear (“cow” is a /k/ word), not the spelling.
  • Levels in order: listening, sounds, syllables, words, phrases, sentences, conversation.
  • One clear voice per job: one voice for whole words, another (Molly) for single sounds and syllables, so each is said the same way every time.
  • Designed with input from a registered New Zealand speech-language therapist.

How to set home practice

  1. Open Games and pick the sound.
  2. Pick a game and copy its link.
  3. Send the link to the family. They choose the level (listening, words, phrases…) on the game's start screen.
