Did you know that the medial /NG/ sound is produced by at least 85% of children by the time they are the age of 3? This sound appears in the middle and at the end of many words in English, but it happens to be a very difficult one for many children to produce. We have also found that the available treatment resources to help to address this tricky sound are quite limited and we ourselves have been struggling to find activities and treatment cards to use with our articulation students. That is why we put together this unit! This comprehensive unit provides /NG/ words from the vowel to conversational level and cueing techniques to get the sound elicited. The sound is presented in medial and final positions of words and we have provided it in writing and with a picture to go with it. Every single flashcard and worksheet has a picture illustrating the targeted NG word! We hope that this packet will end up being the only one that you will ever need now in order to get your articulation students articulating the NG sound! We hope you find the packet both useful and fun. We think that speech therapy should be both of those things. That is why you will find a very wide variety of articulation cards, worksheets, games, and interactive activities in this packet. Enjoy!

Best wishes,
