V Reading Paragraphs
A little rainbow of her own.
Vegetables come in a large variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. My neighbor, Vi, owns a vegetable farm. The farm belonged to her parents until they became too old to work on it. Vi started farming when she was seven. She didn't know how much she loved her vegetable farm until she tried something else.
For a few years, she saved her money to become a vet. She liked animals and thought she would enjoy helping them. She volunteered at a veterinary clinic. During her visit, she observed mostly nice animals, but some were very mean.
After this experience she was convinced that she wasn't brave enough to work as a veterinarian. Besides, she liked the privacy she had while working on the farm. Having and working on her own land gave her a strong sense of satisfaction. She believed that she was part of her environment and that was her driving force to grow the freshest vegetables in the valley.
Vi was positive that her vegetable farm was her own piece of heaven. She loved what she did and that was enough for her.
Vance's Vacation
Every summer Vance and his family went on vacation to Beaver Mountain. It only took them a few hours to travel there from their home in Vermont. They spent seven days hiking, playing volleyball, and driving all over the mountain in their van. Vance's family loved to explore different parts of the mountain as well as the small village on the South side.
Their family always went to the drive-in and watched a movie at least one night during their vacation. The village also had fun shops and stores with clever souvenirs that Vance bought each year to remember their vacation that summer. This year he bought a miniature volcano from the souvenir shop.
There was an old folktale about Beaver Mountain that was told by one of the village's oldest residents. The man's name was Mr. Dove. He was ninety-seven.
He told the story about how Beaver Mountain used to be an active volcano. He said hundreds of years ago Beaver Mountain was just a valley, until there was a big earthquake that caused the Mountain to form. The earthquake was so violent that it caused lava to come out of the top of the mountain.
"During that time there were rivers of lava," Mr. Dove said. Vance closed his eyes and tried to imagine what it would have been like to drive around all the lava during those days.
"We probably would have gone on vacation somewhere else," he said to his Mom, giggling.
Vance was glad there wasn't a river of lava all around Beaver Mountain. He loved visiting every summer and didn't want that to change.
Learning Violin
Learning to play the violin takes many years of lessons and practice. Vicki had just started playing and was at a beginner's level. On Valentine's Day, she had heard the most beautiful violin solo. She saw a couple having dinner by the river. They were staring into each other's eyes and she could tell they were in love.
When the man started playing the violin for the couple, something happened inside Vicki. She thought the violin sounded so beautiful that she wanted to learn how to play it. The trouble was, she really liked playing video games. Video games are much more fun to play than practicing the violin. Vicki didn't think about that when she asked her mom if she could take violin lessons.
At first, Vicki dove right in. She practiced five nights a week. She had visions of herself playing the violin for the governor or on a boat in Venice for a couple in love. However, as Vicki improved her skills, the music she played became more advanced. She would have to practice longer and think harder about the music she was playing. Playing video games was much easier than thinking hard about playing her violin every day.
One day, Vicki gave the violin to her mom.
"I don't want to play the violin anymore, it's too hard," she said. But Vicki's mom didn't want her quit. She knew playing the violin would be a valuable skill that Vicki could have for the rest of her life. Vicki's mom visited her during lunch at school the next day.
"If playing the violin was easy then everyone would do it," her mom said. "Remember the vision you had for yourself about playing the violin professionally?" she asked.
"Yes." said Vicki.
"I don't expect you to become a master violinist, unless you want to be. But there is a lot of value in knowing how to play an instrument and you will receive more of a personal victory by continuing and not quitting. Please don't stop," she said.
Vicki thought about it the rest of the day. That night when her mom was putting the vacuum away, Vicki told her she would not quit playing the violin. Her mom knew what she could achieve and was happy with Vicki's decision.
This list of functional words was professionally selected to be the most useful for a child or adult who has difficulty with producing the "V" sound.
We encourage you to use this list when practicing at home.
Doing home practice will help your child make much faster progress toward correct production.
Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) are only able to see students/clients 30-60 mins (or less) per week.
This is not enough time for your child to overcome an articulation disorder with the "V" sound. But with high caseloads...
...it's all SLPs can do.
There's only so much time in the day.
Every day that your child goes without practice it becomes more and more difficult to correct an "V" error because he/she continues to say it incorrectly.

We know life is busy , but if you're reading this you're probably someone who cares about helping their loved one as much as you can.
Practice 5-10 minutes whenever you can, but try to do it on a consistent basis (daily).
Please, please, please use this list to practice.
It will be a great benefit to you and your loved one's progress.

340+ V Words Speech Therapy {PDF Worksheets!}
Calling all Speech-Language Pathologists or parents looking for v words to practice with your child or student. This blog is just what you need! It has over 340 words making your v words speech therapy articulation practice that much easier.
V Words Speech Therapy
As a speech therapist, I was always on the lookout for articulation lists that I could use in my speech therapy sessions. That’s why I’m on a mission to bring to you an articulation list of all our students’ speech sounds.
Correct Production
Let’s review how to make the correct sound production of the v sound in the English language.
- Teeth: The /v/ sound is made by placing your upper teeth on top of your bottom lip.
- Lip Position: Again the v sound is made by placing the lower lip under the top teeth.
- Voice: This sound is a voice sound. The sound is made from the vocal cords vibrating.
You can tell that you’re vibrating your vocal folds by placing your hand on your larynx (where an adam apple is located) and feel for a vibration. This is the only difference between the v and f sound.
Placement Visual: If you need a visual for placement be sure to check out the Speech Sound Visual Posters by A Perfect Blend. Visual Feedback: Using a mirror can also provide your child or student with a great visual feedback.
Years of Age
The v sound is a later developing sound. Children will master the v sound by the age of 5-6 years old according to the GFTA-2 Standardized sample.
If you believe your child might have an articulation disorder then you’ll want to seek out a Speech Language Pathologist to see if your child would qualify for a speech therapy session and for the speech therapist to provide you with a therapy road map for your child.

Target Words
Here’s a list of v articulation therapy sounds for you to use in therapy or at home practice to work on your student or child’s new sound.
- For Example: van, vet, vroom, visit, vacuum, vanilla, November, beaver, avocado, shovel, lava, oval, glove, dive, wave, beehive, five
See full list of words, phrases, and sentences below.
Be sure to grab my one page freebie of v sounds in the initial medial final word positions below. Plus it comes with real-life little pictures. Simply scroll to the bottom of this post and grab your free copy!
Word Positions: V Words Speech Therapy
Initial position of words.
The initial position of the v sound is at the beginning of a word. For example, “vote” or “vent”.
Medial Position of Words
Some words have the v sound in the medial position of a word, such as “deliver”, “over”, and “adventure”.
Final Positions of Words
The final positions of words are when the target sound is at the end of a word. For example, “give” or “olive”.
Minimal Pairs
A great way to work on sound production is through minimal pairs .
A minimal pair is two words that differ by only one phoneme, in this case, the /v/ sound.
For example, “vase” and “face”.
When you pronounce these words side by side, it’s easy to hear the difference in the initial sound.
Having a list of initial v minimal pairs is a great way to work on correct production, especially for your students working on their phonological processes !
Phonological Process of Stopping
Do you have students who struggle to pronounce certain sounds by making substitutions?
The stopping phonological process is when a child produces a stop consonant /p, b, t, d, k, or g/ in place of a fricative /f, v, th, s, z, sh, ch/ or an affricate sound /j/.
If you answered yes, then you’ll want to make sure to grab my minimal pairs worksheets for stopping initial /f/ vs initial /p/ set .
V Words at the Single Words Level
Some ways to practice include having your child or student say each v word one by one as they go through a list.
Using a dot marker can also be a fun way to practice having your child put a dot under each v sound.
In addition, I’ve compiled an easy-to-download one page overview of v sounds below. Simply scroll down to the bottom of this post and download your free copy.

V Words for Speech Therapy (Word Lists and Activities)
If you’re a speech-language pathologist looking for a quick list of initial and final v target words to practice during speech therapy, make sure to bookmark this post. You’ll also find some great ideas for making therapy more fun with a variety of engaging games , resources, and speech therapy activities for teaching the v sound. Not only does this blog post provide a list of initial, medial, and final v words, but it also suggests a variety of strategies for teaching correct placement.
Correct Production of V
Just like the f sound, the v sound is a labiodental fricative sound. The only difference, however, is that the v sound is voiced, meaning that the vocal cords, or vocal folds, vibrate. To produce the v sound, the top teeth need to rest against the bottom lip. When the top front teeth are placed on the lower lip, the air is directed through, and there is audible friction when this occurs. The result will be /v/ in isolation.
Peña-Brooks Adriana, and M. N. Hegde. “Chapter 8- Therapy for Phonetic Errors.” Articulation and Phonological Disorders: Assessment and Treatment Resource Manual , PRO-ED, Austin, TX, 2007,
How To Teach the V Sound in Speech Therapy
Many of the same treatment approaches for the f sound can be used to elicit the v sound. The child will need to learn how to turn the “voice on” to produce a v.
A great way to provide is a tactile cue is to tap your bottom lip.
Try giving the v sound a “funny name” for young children. While the f sound could be termed “the bunny teeth sound”, the v sound could be the “vroom vroom” sound.
Try placing a mirror in front of your student. Have him bite on his lower lip, and make sure he can see his upper teeth. Then have him blow air while drawing attention to the vibration that occurs with a voiced v sound.
Students with phonological disorders may exhibit a process called stopping . If a student stops the v sound (i.e., says “ban” for “van”), try slowing things down. Model the v sound, pause, then say the rest of the word. This technique can also work for a stop insertion error (i.e. your student says ‘b….van’). Model the v sound, open your mouth wide and exaggerate the vowel, then say the rest of the word. “V…AAAAAAn.” Read more about the different phonological processes .
Speech pathologists may benefit by having the child keep the jaw in an elevated position . Try to encourage jaw stability.

This research was aimed to investigate changes in the reading technique and in terms of its semantic charge in primary schoolers diagnosed with dyslexia, which occur as a result of the integrated use of speech therapy techniques. The study was performed between 2016 and 2019 in 6 schools of Moscow and Almaty. It enrolled 194 and 200 children, respectively, who were examined with form I to III inclusive. The study revealed that 13% of children had reading speed disorders; they were constituted group 1. Another 11% had reading comprehension disorders; they constituted group 2. In group 1, by form III, the number of reading repetitions increased twofold. In group 2, the number of children, who read in words and phrases, increased by half; in group 1, it doubled. This research showed clear progress in children with technical dyslexia vs. those with semantic dyslexia. Based on the results, it is possible to develop a methodology for speech therapy techniques that can be suitable not only for speech therapists, but also for primary school teachers, as well as for parents of dyslectic children.

Introduction.
Today's ideology boils down to the perception of dyslexia as a reading disorder, however, having normal intellectual development 1 , 2 , 3 . Despite the established set of views, at present the researchers continue looking for new ways to assess the intellectual development in dyslectic subjects, although with a greater emphasis on the structural component of dyslexia. This includes both verbal and non-verbal parts, as well as the genesis of personality associated with individual and typological characteristics 4 . Dyslectic primary schoolers differ from normal peers, above all, in terms of the level of verbal intelligence. The data characterizing this direction are specifically based on the significance of verbal components associated with the cognitive mental function 5 . According to a number of authors, the greatest pedagogical results are possible in the process of mastering reading in primary school 5 , 6 , 7 . The reading process, along with other external and internal factors, can affect the formation of children cognitive and intellectual abilities 8 . Of particular interest are data related to the research of intellectual activity in secondary schoolers, who had different levels of reading skills. One of the most pressing issues is a clarification of the causes associated with the occurrence, dynamics and mechanisms of dyslexia 9 . In addition, the studies related to identification of the most suitable conditions and methods for successful therapy, as well as speech therapy and pediatric techniques related to the correction and prevention of dyslexia, are of certain relevance 10 . Such interest is due to statistical data. In particular, it is known that, over the past two decades, the number of children diagnosed with dyslexia has increased significantly, albeit unevenly in different regions, ranging from 3 to 25% 9 , 11 . For children with true dyslexia, current methods of medicine and psychology are unable to eliminate this disorder. Moreover, dyslexia is a rather serious factor that hinders the effective assimilation of educational material by students 12 . According to some experts, dyslexia may not necessarily manifest itself only for the native language 4 , 6 , 7 , 8 . The process of reading is characterized by the complication of existing discrepancies, which are expressed in the proportion of language phonemes and graphemes. Phonetic systems based on opaque spelling are characterized by a different manifestation of one phoneme through several graphemes, or vice versa, one grapheme can be associated with different phonemes 13 . In languages such as Russian, English, German and French, dyslexia is much more common 6 . In the case when an in-depth study of foreign languages is performed in regular schools, there are specific cases of dyslexia called mixed dyslexia 14 . Mixed dyslexia is associated with a set of symptoms. Firstly, this is an insufficient development of speech itself and its components, and secondly, it is a low level of perception through vision, as well as a low level of development of judgment associated with visual and motor function. In specialized schools, students study not one, but two foreign languages at once. In most cases, dyslectic children come to such schools accidentally, not by their own choice 15 . As a rule, this is due to the lack of passing tests when entering the school. So, dyslexia is quite common among children; it is a persistent disorder that negatively affects schoolers’ academic performance. In this regard, it is necessary to develop new medical, psychological, speech therapy techniques for teaching dyslectic children. Involving parents in teaching children with dyslexia does not give quick and reliable results 16 . Another and better results can be achieved if various specialists are involved, for example, speech therapists, as well as teachers of native and foreign languages. The educational process at school is based on the concept that children learn to read quickly and understand the essence of the text they read. Therefore, the quality of the student's understanding of assignments, as well as various control and independent work, depends on how well the reading skill is developed. For school age, reading is of great importance, since it helps children to learn about the world around them, including that in their free time. Recently, social networks and mobile applications related to the global digitalization of society have played an increasingly important role in this 11 . Therefore, if dyslexia presents and progresses, the child should be expected to have not only poor academic performance, but also maladaptation in society.
Global practice in the research of dyslexia is associated with two areas. In Western countries, dyslexia is dominantly considered as a disorder resulting from improper mastery of reading technique 8 , 15 . At the same time, the main parameters of reading technique are reading speed and correctness. The disadvantage of this approach is one-sided perception of the reading technique, without taking into account the conceptual component of this process. According to this opinion, the difficulties that arise in understanding the meaning when reading are primarily related to disorders in accessing the information in the memory. Therefore, the root cause lies in the child's cognitive perception. The second approach is mainly related to the research on the territory of the former Soviet Union; it is aimed at the very perception of the word, its form and meaning. Other studies specify an isolated type of reading disorders and its semantic component 2 . At the same time, there are no detailed studies on this subject. This formed the basis for the present study. In addition, the authors proposed speech therapy techniques that can significantly improve reading performance in primary schoolers.
This research was aimed to investigate changes in reading technique and in terms of its semantic charge in primary schoolers diagnosed with dyslexia. Study objectives were as follows: (a) to track the parameters of the technical reading component over time; (b) the same for the semantic reading component; (c) to test the speech therapy techniques to improve reading performance in dyslectic children. The authors believe that the introduction of the proposed speech therapy techniques will significantly improve reading performance in children. A limitation of this study may be the application of these techniques to Russian-speaking and Kazakh-speaking children.
Materials and methods
This longitudinal study involved 194 and 200 primary schoolers attending 3 regular schools in Moscow (Russia) and Almaty (Kazakhstan, also 3 schools), respectively. The Russian population included 100 girls and 94 boys; the Kazakh one—100 boys and 100 girls. The classes were held in Russian and Kazakh. The study did not take into account gender differences. The mean age of children was 6.1 ± 1.1 years. The participants were allocated to groups after the initial examination; it is detailed in the " Results " section.
Study design
This study was complex: in addition to investigating the particularities of dyslexia in primary schoolers, we explored the results of the use of speech therapy techniques on children’s reading skill. The study enrolled children, whose parents gave written consent (signed a contract). The contract revealed the essence of the study, described in detail the possible consequences; it was proposed to try a promising new method of speech therapy for children. The study enrolled all children, whose parents had signed the contract. At baseline, dyslectic children were not identified specifically; all children, who later entered the dyslectic group, were revealed after initial testing. This formed the basis for further allocation to groups. The study consisted of two parts. The first part provided the analysis results of dyslexia over time when children studied in forms I–III of a regular school; the second part discussed the results of dyslexia course, taking into account the use of speech therapy techniques. For the Kazakh population, classes were held in Kazakh and Russian, as many children knew Russian quite well.
Ethical aspects
The study was performed in accordance with the international standards of ethics and morality. Anonymity and confidentiality of the information related to participants was observed.
The research was conducted at the same time, from 11 o'clock in the morning, when the children were not yet tired, but a considerable time had already passed after sleep. Thus, we tried to reduce the possible inhibitory effect of somnolence or fatigue on the reading process. During primary testing, children read special texts, the moments of beginning and the end of reading was recorded, due to which the accuracy needed for measurements was achieved. The definition of reading speed included the time period, in which the child read a certain text. Different reading parameters were taken into account, such as reading method, repetitions and mistakes. After testing, the children retold the text, and simultaneously such parameters as unfragmentation of the text (its integrity and connection between different parts) were evaluated. Analysis was based on results obtained for study participants vs. those in normal peers; it considered reading speed and understanding the meaning of what was read.
Statistical analysis
Statistical analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel 2016. For each of the studied parameters, its frequency among children was calculated as a percentage as the schoolers progressed from form I to form III inclusive. Significance of differences between parameters was determined using Student's t-test. The differences were significant at P ≤ 0.05. The tables show mean values between the groups of children from Russia and Kazakhstan, since no significant differences were found between two populations.
Ethics approval
The authors declare that the work is written with due consideration of ethical standards. The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles approved by the Ethics Committee of Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University and Sh.
