CH Reading Paragraphs

Lunch interruption.

It was time for lunch. Chip wanted to eat lunch on the beach today. He walked to the beach. There were no benches, so he sat in the sand. He opened his lunch box and found chili, cheese, a sandwich, a cherry, and some peaches.

He took a bite of his sandwich and began to chew when all of a sudden his chin started itching. He was getting sand flea bites. He grabbed his lunch and took off like a cheetah.

"I guess I'll go eat in my kitchen at home," he thought.

Day at the Zoo

Our teacher, Ms. Child, is teaching us about the ostrich. We went to the zoo to see an ostrich. We also saw a cheetah.

There was a farm animal area where we saw a chicken. I bought a key chain at the zoo, ate my lunch on a bench, and shared some of it with a chipmunk. It was fun to watch all of the animals.

Our class let out a cheer when we saw the ostrich run. It was fast. I wanted to feed the ostrich some chocolate, but the zookeeper said not to.

Hopscotch Challenge

In March, I took chalk and drew some squares to play hopscotch on. My friend Chase and I wanted to play together.

I drew the squares on the sidewalk close to the church with the chicken statue.

I asked Chase to watch and check if the squares were in the right order. He told me one of them was a few inches off. I told him that I moved them to miss a big tree branch.

We started playing. I pounded my chest after beating him three times! I would still cheer for him though.

This list of functional words was professionally selected to be the most useful for a child or adult who has difficulty with producing the "CH" 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 "CH" 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 "CH" 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.

300+ CH Words Speech Therapy {Word Lists for CH Sound}

Welcome! I’m excited to share with my fellow speech therapists and parents a word list of over 300+ ch words for speech therapy that will help strengthen your student’s or child’s ch’ sound. 

CH Words Speech Therapy

Below I’ve organized a list of ch words by word positions (initial, medial, final). My hope is to make my fellow speech-language pathologists articulation therapy a little bit easier this year.

Articulation Targets

Here’s a list of ch articulation practice words for you to use in your speech therapy sessions or for at home practice to work on your student’s or child’s speech.

• For Example: chair, check, cheek, chip, chop, chat, teacher, nachos, touchscreen, crunchy, highchair, stitches, lunch, watch, bunch, pitch, witch, beach

See full list of words, phrases, and sentences below.

Be sure to grab my one page free digital download of ch words below. Simply scroll to the bottom of this post and grab your free copy with real pictures!

Word Position: CH Words Speech Therapy 

Initial position of words.

The initial position of the ch sound is at the beginning of a word. For example, “chalk” or “change”.

Medial Position of Words

Some words have the ch sound in the medial position of a word, such as “crutches”, “ketchup”, and “matches”.

Final Positions of Words

The final positions of words are when the target sound is at the end of a word. For example, “wrench” or “peach”.

Correct Production

Here is how to produce the ch sound also known as the choo choo sound to my students:

• Teeth & Tongue Tip Placement: Start by bringing your teeth together and then placing the tip of your tongue on the small ridge (also known as the alveolar ridge) right behind your upper front teeth.
• Air: The ch sound is a voiceless stop consonant sound. The voiceless is made by blowing air through the mouth. This will naturally make the voiceless ch sound. The air is then stopped by the tip of the tongue touching the roof of your mouth.

Age Range – Incorrect Production

According to the Goldman Fristoe Test of Articulation 2 from 2000, most children have mastered the CH sound by the time they are five years old. (This is a standardized sample from the GFTA-2 with 85% of children able to correctly produce that consonant by that age.)

If you are concerned about your child’s speech errors in producing this sound, it is best to consult with Speech Language Pathologists about receiving speech services for an articulation disorder.

Phonological Process

A phonological disorder is when a child’s speech makes multiple similar sound errors. 

Be sure to consult with a certified Speech Pathologist if your child is experiencing a phonological speech disorder.

CH Words at Word Level

Some ways to practice include having your child or student say each ch 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 ch sound. 

In addition, I’ve compiled an easy-to-download one page overview of ch sounds below. Simply scroll down to the bottom of this post and download your free copy.

The next step after working at the word and phrase levels is to work on the ch sound at the sentence level.

For example, you could give your child or student a list of sentences to read aloud while they work on their ch sound. 

Another idea would be to give your child or student pictures with their ch sound in them and then have them create a sentence about those pictures.

Below is a list of sentences to use with your child or students.

CH Words for Speech Therapy (Word Lists and Activities)

Trying to find ch words for speech therapy? Speech-language pathologists looking for a quick list of initial ch words, medial ch, and final ch target words to practice during speech therapy, make sure to bookmark this post. You’ll also find some great ideas for making ch therapy more effective with a variety of engaging games, articulation worksheets, and speech therapy activities. Not only does this blog post provide a list of the ‘ch’ sound in the initial position, medial position, and final position, but it also suggests a variety of strategies for articulation practice. SLPs will be able to have ch word lists on hand to easily use for articulation drill in the therapy room.

Correct Production of the CH Sound

The CH sound is a palatal affricate sound. It is voiceless, meaning the vocal folds do not vibrate during production. The tongue assumes a horseshoe-like shape while saying the ch sound. A seal is created and the air pressure builds. In other words, to produce the ch sound, the airstream is first stopped. This does not occur at the alveolar ridge as it would for /t/; instead, it happens a little farther back, closer to where production for the “sh” sound would occur. The tongue tip lowers slowly to let the passage of air pass, and the sides of the tongue slowly lower as well.

McLeod and Crowe published  this article , which reported that nearly all speech sounds are developed by age 6.

Common CH Sound Errors

• Stopping : stopping is a phonological process in which a stop sound (such as p, b, t, d, k, or g) replaces either a fricative or an affricate (ch, dj). An example might be saying “tear” for “chair”. Read more about the different phonological processes .
• Deaffrication: deaffrication is a phonological process in which an affricate (such as the ch sound) is replaced by a fricative. An example might be “shop” for “chop”.
• I have personally seen several students replace “ts” for “ch”. An example would be “bats” for “batch”.

How To Teach the CH Sound in Speech Therapy

There are several techniques that speech therapists can try to elicit the ch sound in speech therapy sessions.

• Try using minimal pairs . For example, if the student substitutes “t” for “ch”, target words such as “tip” vs “chip” might be practiced.
• Shape “ch” from the “sh” sound. Instruct the student to make puckered lips.
• Here is my favorite trick! A great way to elicit the ch sound is to use your hand as a visual to “stop” (fist) and then “explode” (spread fingers out) the air.
• Try shaping “ch” from “s”. Slide the tongue back, pucker the lips, then attempt the “ch” sound.
• Provide verbal reminders. “You forgot to stop the air!”
• Use phrases that contain a final ending t and an initial sh. An example might “what shop”. Hold the t just a bit too long, then explode the “sh”.

CH Words for Speech Therapy

The following ch word lists contain ch in initial, medial, and final word positions. A speech language pathologist can use these ch words during therapy with a student who has an articulation disorder. The lists are provided at the word level. To increase the level of difficulty, your student could practice at the sentence level by creating sentences using the target words. Writing assignments might include creating silly sentences and reading the story aloud while focusing on the ch sound. It is also helpful to note the various spellings for the ch sound (check out the helpful resource “ Speech Sounds and Their Letters “).

4 Top CH Words Speech Therapy Activities

Speech-language pathologists are often looking for fun ways to work on the ch sound in speech therapy! Here are the top articulation activities that include ch words.

• Articulation Mouth Cards

All of your students with articulation disorders will benefit from these fantastic visuals! These unique articulation cards also provide a picture of the mouth for each target sound. The mouth shape provides the perfect visual reminder of tongue, teeth, and mouth positioning and placement. A variety of specific speech sounds are included in this articulation resource, including the ch sound. Try articulation mouth cards in your speech therapy session.

Manicure Articulation Activity

Wondering what articulation activity is about to become the “favorite” in your speech room? Here it is . This creative, hands-on resource will allow your student to target speech sounds while simultaneously creating a “manicure” using play dough!

Mind blown? YEP.

It’s super easy. Just pick the target speech sound to target during your speech therapy session, such as the ch sound. Your student will pick the color of play dough. After your student says a target word, smash a bit of play dough onto the “nail”. After all target words have been practiced, the manicure will be complete!

Oh, and as a heads-up. If your student loves this activity, you might also want to check out these Eyeshadow Articulation worksheets .

• Articulation Card Game Companion

Do your students love playing card games? This card game companion is the perfect way to play a motivating color-coded card game while practicing individual sounds in speech therapy. Each color and special symbol pairs with a target articulation word. It’s simple to play the game. Before your student puts down a red card during his turn, he must say the ch articulation word that is listed under the red section. If he draws a yellow card, he must say the ch articulation word that is assigned to that target color. It’s fast, easy, and motivating!

Please note: The Pedi Speechie is in no way associated with the well-known card game, which is trademarked.

Articulation Challenge for Older Students

Are you looking for a way to work on articulation with your older students? This articulation challenge activity is designed with upper elementary and middle school speech therapy students in mind! Each worksheet includes a ready-to-go list of words for articulation practice, a speech sound mouth visual, and a “keyboard” picture so your student can “type” his words. (This resource is not digital, it is meant to be printed out). After your student “types” a target word, he must practice saying it. If you’re working with a small group, make it a challenge to see who can “type” the fastest! This resource includes ch initial, ch medial, and ch final articulation worksheets, as well as a variety of other speech sounds.

How to teach the ‘ch’ sound for speech therapy

Are you stuck trying to teach the ‘ch’ sound with your child and need some new ideas? In speech therapy, there is no such thing as ‘one-trick’ to teach a sound, because every child learns to say their sounds differently. The following ideas are a few of my tricks that I commonly try.

Get the mouth ready for saying the CH sound

If your first few attempts at trying to teach a child the ‘ch’ sound don’t work, I always look at the mouth to make sure that it is ready. Their lips need to be round and the teeth are together or very close to touching. Sometimes changing the shape of the lips alone can really help to say the ‘ch’ sound correctly.

Try asking them to make common sounds

Many times when I ask a child to say the ‘ch’ sound on its own, it is incorrect. But often I find that they CAN say the sound when I ask them the three following questions:

• What noise does a train make (choo choo)
• Make the sneezing sound (achoo)
• What do you say when you hurt yourself (ouch!)

If the child is successful in accurately saying one of these, we will really practice that one word and then increase to other (sometimes silly) words and syllables to expand their production of that sound. For example, we might do a lot of “choo choo” practice, then change the last syllable to “choo chee, choo cha, choo chow, etc.,.”

SPEECH ACTIVITIES TO TRY TODAY: Use a train and teach that train makes a different sound. Drive the trains around the track, saying the sounds “choo choo, choo chee, choo cha”.

Get the explosion of air

I always teach parents that the ch sound is the ‘t’ sound plus the ‘sh’ sound pushed together. And this is important for speech-language pathologists to remember too. A child has to be able to use both elements to build up the air and release the sound as ‘ch’.

What if the CH sound is soft or weak sounding?

If the ch sound doesn’t have as much FORCE as the way you say it, I tend to two analogies that you can use actions for to really consolidate the learning

• The punching sound
• The chopping sound

The punching sound is where we teach a child that just like a boxer makes fast and strong punches, that the ch sound is like a punch too. We have to punch the sound strong and fast out of our mouths. Doing a punching action as you say the sound really emphasizes this. Have your child copy throwing some punches first, then add sound! If they still make a weak sound, imitate the child and throw a ‘soft’ or weak punch. Give feedback such as, “that was a soft ‘ch’, remember, it has to punch out of our mouths strong and fast.”

The chopping sound is very similar in teaching to the punching. You can use your hand like a karate chop, pretend to hold an axe and chop wood. The key idea is that the action of chopping has to be strong and fast. 

SPEECH ACTIVITIES TO TRY TODAY: Teach the chopping sound using play dough. Roll a playdough ‘snake’ for your child to chop with a plastic knife. If your child says the ‘ch’ sound too softly, show them how the knife won’t cut the play dough. This can give the motivation to make it stronger and more forceful.

Start with what your child can do

Most children are able to say the ‘t’ sound correctly. You might have success teaching them the following:

• Say the ‘t’ sound
• Now say it again, but with round lips (the sound should already start to change)
• Now let’s make the sound longer, stronger, or faster (depending on how they are saying it with round lips).

Teach the TR sound

This is another little trick that I have found to be successful; forget the ‘ch’ sound and teach words starting with ‘tr’. I want you to say the following words aloud: tree, trampoline, treasure, train.

Do you actually say tr ain, or does it sound more like ch rain? Teaching a more complex or harder sound like ‘chr’ sounds counterintuitive, but many times I have taught ‘tr’ words and the ‘ch’ sounds have come through without us having to work on them.

For some older kids who become frustrated or say that ‘ch’ is too hard, this trick works well because you can tell them that we’ll stop working on the ‘ch’ sound and learn a new one instead.

It is also a great target to choose if the child needs to learn their /r/ sound. You can focus on /tr/ words and hopefully see that ‘sh’, ‘ch’ and ‘r’ sounds are learned in the process.    

Speech-language pathologists look at children’s WHOLE speech sound system. If you have concerns that your child is having difficulties mastering this sound, please consult with a professional so that they can best support you.

Get resources to help practice the CH sound

Teach the ‘ch’ sound in isolation, move to syllables, then words, phrases, and sentences. This digital Boom Card deck can be played in face-to-face sessions, as part of your teletherapy practice, or you can even email the link as homework! Sound files to hear the ‘ch’ sound is included.

To be honest, I just use ‘tr’ target words and cards and look to see if this generalizes! While I don’t have stand-alone ‘tr’ materials, they are included in my R Cluster Help Sheets and Articulation Card materials

How to Teach V Sound: Articulation Activities, and Word Lists for Effective Speech Therapy

How to teach j sound: articulation activities, and word lists for effective speech therapy, how to teach ch sound: articulation activities, and word lists for effective speech therapy.

The “ch” sound is an unvoiced postalveolar affricate, which means that it is produced by a combination of a stop and a fricative. First, the airflow from the lungs is stopped by the tongue pressing against the roof of the mouth just behind the alveolar ridge. Then, the tongue quickly moves away, allowing air to pass through a narrow channel created by the tongue and the roof of the mouth, creating a hissing or shushing sound.

To produce the “ch” sound, you need to place the front part of your tongue behind the alveolar ridge, which is the bony ridge behind your upper front teeth, and then stop the airflow from your lungs by pressing your tongue against the roof of your mouth. Then, you quickly release the pressure, allowing air to pass through the narrow gap between your tongue and the roof of your mouth while simultaneously creating a fricative sound by forcing the air through the gap. This creates a hissing or shushing sound that is characterized by a quick, sharp burst of noise. You can try producing this sound by saying the word “chat” or “church” and paying attention to the way your tongue and breath work together to create the sound. In phonetics, this sound is represented by the symbol /tʃ/. It is also sometimes referred to as the “voiceless postalveolar affricate.”

Here are few tips you can follow to teach the “CH” sound:

Demonstrate the sound: Start by demonstrating the “CH” sound for your child. Make the sound and have your child watch your lips and mouth movements. Explain that the sound is made by making a tight “o” shape with your mouth and then pushing air out while releasing the lips.

Visual Cue: Show the child how to place their tongue on the roof of their mouth, just behind their front teeth, and then release a burst of air while making a voiceless sound. You can use a mirror to help the child see how their tongue is positioned. You can also use a visual cue such as a picture or flashcard of a “CH” to help your child remember the sound.

Understand the sound: Help your child understand that the “CH” sound is a voiceless consonant made by making a tight “o” shape with your mouth and then pushing air out while releasing the lips.

Practice Blowing: Help your child get used to the sensation of blowing out air with their mouth by having them practice blowing bubbles, blowing feathers across a table, or blowing out candles.

Practice Tongue Placement: Show your child how to keep their tongue relaxed and pushed down behind their bottom teeth while making the “CH” sound. You can make it more fun by having them imitate animal sounds, such as a cat hissing or a snake slithering, while using the “CH” sound.

Practice in Isolation: Once your child has mastered the correct tongue and mouth position, have them practice making the “CH” sound on its own without any other sounds.

Add Syllables: After your child has mastered the “CH” sound in isolation, have them practice using it in different syllables, such as “cha,” “che,” and “cho.” You can make it more fun by having them say words like “chicken,” “cherry,” and “chocolate.”

Practice in Words: Once your child has mastered the “CH” sound in syllables, have them practice using it in different words such as “chair,” “cheese,” and “chocolate.”

Practice in Phrases: After your child has mastered the “CH” sound in words, have them practice using it in phrases like “big chair,” “yellow cheese,” and “hot chocolate.”

Practice in Sentences: Finally, have your child practice using the “CH” sound in different sentences such as “I sit in the chair,” “The cheese is delicious,” and “I love hot chocolate.”

Practice Everywhere: Encourage your child to practice using the “CH” sound in different contexts, such as during playtime, mealtime, or while reading books. You can also make it more fun by having them use the “CH” sound in different accents or dialects.

Free CH interactive audio flashcards featuring words with the “CH” sound words can be a useful tool for improving pronunciation and vocabulary.

Speech Therapy

Speech and language are complex skills – and part of what makes humans special! Speech includes the physicality of creating words – articulation, voice, and fluency. Children need to move their lips, tongues, and mouths in specific ways to create different sounds. Language includes what words mean, how to put them together, how to make new words, what words are appropriate for different situations. It is not only the words we use but how we use them to share ideas and get what we want.

Children who struggle with speech or language greatly benefit from early intervention. But how do you know if their language is delayed? All kids develop differently, and most young children can be difficult to understand – so it can be confusing to know when or if intervention is needed. Concerns over speech are often some of the most common parents have, but don’t worry. You have options – and Joy and Laughter Developmental Therapy can help you! We have highly trained speech-language pathologists ready to work with your child.

Speech therapy helps children learn to use and understand language. So, when might speech therapy be right for your child? Some signs to look for:

• No or very little speech

• Fewer than 50 words by age 2

• Primary caregivers cannot understand about 75% of their speech by age 3

• Unclear or immature speech

• Child has trouble understanding adults

Diagnosed issues:

• Apraxia of speech

• Dysarthria

• Feeding issues

• Oral motor disorders

​• Speech sound disorders

• Written language difficulties

Speech/language pathologists (SLPs) are highly trained speech therapists that help diagnose and treat communication disorders. By working with an SLP, speech therapy will help your child facilitate expressive and receptive language. Speech therapy will help children learn to use a method of communication that will be the most effective and best understood. Most times this is teaching a child to use their voice, but it can also include the use of augmentative devices. We work with your child on a variety of skills:

Receptive Language Skills: Understanding language, following directions, and processing auditory information.

• Receptive language involves being able to comprehend the message, the speed the message is processed, and how one concentrates.

• This can include understanding figurative language and literal language.

Expressive Language Skills: Using language to express ideas and thoughts.

• Includes vocabulary, grammar, and syntax.

• It can be the ability to express feelings with the use of arbitrary signals, such as verbal language, gestures, and written symbols.

Fluency: How the language is produced including stuttering, cluttering, and rate of speech.

Articulation: The process by which a person forms verbal language.

• This happens with the movements of the jaw, tongue, palate, lips, and teeth.

Augmentative Communication: Refers to the alternative methods of communication also known as “Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC)”.

• Often children are taught to use a device that can act as their voice.

Our highly trained speech-language pathologists are ready to use many different techniques, programs, and devices to help your child gain the most language skills possible!

We utilize:

         • Hanen Program

        •  Baby Sign Language

        •  Picture Exchange

         • Communication System (PECS)

         • Voice Output (VOCA)

        •  Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC)

• The iPad, along with other devices often are used to help those with impairments in the production of spoken language.

At Joy and Laughter Developmental Therapy, we are ready to help you and your child through any speech or language roadblocks you might be facing.

Wondering if your child might qualify.

Don’t wait! The earlier we can start intervention, the less impact it may have on their future speech. Our developmental experts will walk you through a simple assessment of what may be going on, tips for what you can do right now at home to help, and what your next steps should be to start helping your child communicate better.
