If you’re looking for a large inventory of free J Sound articulation worksheets for speech therapy, you are in the right place. We have collected a large list of printable J Sound articulation worksheets that will keep you busy for many weeks.
The /j/ sound is a tricky sounds for many children to master, often leading to common speech errors. These challenges can impact overall speech clarity, making it important to focus on correct /j/ sound production.
All J articulation worksheets here are meant for articulation therapy approach and are not meant for misarticulations due to phonological process errors which may require, for example, a contrastive phonological therapy approach.
If your child replaces “j” sound with “zh” or “sh” sounds or replaces “j” sound with “z” or “d” sound, articulation therapy approach may not work.
Our goal is to reference high quality free speech therapy resources to make it accessible for all wallet sizes.
Step 1: Individual J Sound Articulation Production
Your child needs to first learn to produce the J Sound on their own before even starting to do any activities.
A speech and language pathologist is trained to teach your child how to articulate correctly /j/. This may come easily with a week or two with proper explanation or even take a few weeks.
If you have practiced in clinic but need some reference videos to practice at home, review how to articulate J in one of our favorite SLP influencer videos, Meredith from Peachies Speechie:
Step 2: J Sound Articulation with a Vowel
Once your child has some good foundations on articulating the J individually, it’s time to try with a vowel, before and after the J.
At home, we use a J Sound Syllable Flywheel and then articulation the J Sound with a vowel before and after. When your child can easily do this, it’s time to move on to the next step.
