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.

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.

Sentence Level: V Words Speech Therapy
The next step after working at the word and phrase levels is to work on the v 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 v sound.
Another idea would be to give your child or student pictures with their v 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.
