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. 

SEE ALSO:   The Best Books for Speech Therapy Practice

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.

Speech Sound Word Lists for the V Sound

The following word lists contain words with the initial v sound, medial v sound, and final v sound. These  articulation word lists  allow the SLP to easily work on a target sound in articulation therapy. Quickly pull these word lists up during your speech therapy session and pair the target word list with the game or activity of your choice. Your student can also work at the sentence level by choosing at least 2 words from a selected list and creating a sentence to practice saying aloud.

This is MY FAVORITE NEW RESOURCE! I HONESTLY use it all the time for each articulation session and handouts for home practice.

"V" is produced by placing our upper teeth on our lower lip, blowing air, and turning our voice on

• Cue your child to "bite their lip" when saying "V"

Tips for Saying the “F” and “V” Sounds

Photo Source: Photo Credit: harryalverson

Tips for Saying the “F” and “V” Sounds:

• Call the sound something that describes the hissing quality of the “f” (the angry cat sound) or the vibrating sound of the “v” (the vacuum sound). FYI: The “f” is a voiceless sound- your vocal cords do not vibrate when it’s produced in isolation. The “v” is a voiced sound – your vocal cords vibrate when it’s produced in isolation. Touch your voice box to try it out!
• Encourage the child to gently bite his lower lip with his upper teeth and then instruct him to blow.
• Use a tissue or hold hand in front of mouth while producing several long “f” sounds to draw attention to the “hissing” quality and continuous nature of the sounds.
• Tape tissue paper to the end of a pencil and encourage the child to move the paper in the wind.
• Touch the lower lip and bottom of the upper front teeth with a tongue depressor. Then, ask him to bring the upper teeth and lower lip together to touch where you touched.

I created  “f” Sound Articulation Cards with visuals to remind children how to say the “f” sound.

These flashcards are exceptional because a colorful placement visual is included on each card! Such visuals provide extra support to students/children who may need reminders on where to place their articulators. Included in this product are 36 /f/ flashcards with placement visuals! Each card contains a placement visual for the teeth and bottom lip. These placement visuals are carefully positioned on each card to correspond to the location of the target /f/ sound. For instance, for words that start with /f/, the placement visual is located at the beginning of the word. For words that end with the /f/ sound, the placement visual is located at the end of the word. An additional Initial, Medial, and Final Position Card Visual is also included to help students better understand the location of the /f/ sound in words

I love to use picture books and stories to bombard my clients with their targets and find that they enjoy it too because there is less pressure to repeat the target on command. These are just some of the books I use – there’s a ton more:

The Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle

The word “very” repeats throughout the book!

I’ll Love You Forever by Robert Munsch

Admittedly, when I first read this book – WAY before I had children – I thought there was a creepy aspect to it. Now as a mother to two young children, I realize its beauty and truth. Munsch was inspired to write this book after he and his wife suffered two still births. Life is a miracle and very precious.

As always, changing a pattern of speaking is challenging – remember to praise the process not the result.

Adapted from: Bleile, K. (2004).Manual of Articulation and Phonological Disorders: Infancy through Adulthood.Clifton Park: Thomson Delmar Learning.

I HIGHLY encourage using these tips under the guidance of an experienced speech language pathologist. This is because a speech language pathologist can provide models and troubleshoot and answer your questions. Kim Scanlon specializes in treating young children and adults who have articulation, phonological and language delays and disorders. She provides speech therapy in Bergen County, NJ.
