Articulatory and Phonological Difficulties

I learn by playing with the Talking Castle

Adele Spagnolo, Elisabetta Di Clemente, Valeria Rota

The Talking Castle game proposed in this volume is a phonetic-phonological training designed to help children as young as 5 years old--with expressive language difficulties--consolidate and generalize the correct pronunciation of the sounds of the Italian language considered most problematic.
The game consists of a display board and two attached decks of cards:
- the large full-color board shows the inside of a castle and represents a 30-square goose game with which children engage in various phonological exercises to get to the finish line;
- yellow cards contain color pictures to be verbalized spontaneously with words or sentences;
- the green cards offer lists of words, phrases and nursery rhymes to train sound with repetition.
Through a board game of immediate use and sure appeal to young children, a rich phonological pathway is presented that can be easily customized to children's specific verbal articulation difficulties, useful for:
- speech therapists, who can use it during rehabilitation intervention;
- preschool and first-cycle elementary school teachers, to foster language development and facilitate in non-Italian-speaking pupils the learning of the phonological features of the Italian language;
- parents, who will be able to play with their children by fostering their articulatory skills and early lexical skills.
