Goals\n\n| Fluency\u2011Shaping / Stuttering\u2011Modification | Communication Attitudes |\n|------------------------------------------|--------------------------|\n| **Short\u2011Term**: Use *easy onset* (soft, smooth start) in 3 out of 5 conversational turns during the session. | **Short\u2011Term**: Demonstrate a supportive response (e.g., \u201cI\u2019m listening\u201d or a nod) when a stutter occurs. |\n| **Long\u2011Term**: Increase the number of smooth starts from 0 to 4 in a 5\u2011minute spontaneous speaking task (to be measured in 4 weeks). | **Long\u2011Term**: Reduce the student\u2019s perceived anxiety about speaking in front of peers by 30\u202f% (self\u2011rated on a 5\u2011point scale). |\n\n---\n\n### 2. Materials\n\n- **Easy\u2011Onset Cards** (front: picture of a soft \u201cb\u201d or \u201cp\u201d; back: short word or phrase)\n- **Relay Baton** (a small stick or paper cup)\n- **Timer** (to keep activities within time limits)\n- **\u201cListening\u201d Sticker** (for positive reinforcement)\n- **Teacher Response Cheat\u2011Sheet** (quick\u2011reference guide)\n\n---\n\n### 3. Warm\u2011up & Check\u2011in (0\u20115\u202fmin)\n\n1. **Greeting** \u2013 \u201cHi [Student\u2019s Name]! How are you feeling today?\u201d  \n2. **Quick \u201cWord Chain\u201d** \u2013 Teacher says a word, student repeats it, then says the next word. Keep it light and fun.  \n3. **Mood Meter** \u2013 Student points to a face that shows how they\u2019re feeling (happy, neutral, or a bit nervous).  \n4. **Set the Stage** \u2013 \u201cToday we\u2019re going to try a new way to start our words that feels smooth and easy. We\u2019ll also practice how everyone can help each other when we\u2019re talking.\u201d\n\n---\n\n### 4. Technique Overview \u2013 Easy Onset (5\u201110\u202fmin)\n\n**Student\u2011Friendly Explanation**\n\n> \u201cWhen you start a word, try to begin with a gentle, soft sound\u2014like a tiny \u2018b\u2019 or \u2018p\u2019. Think of it as giving the word a little \u2018soft start\u2019 so it can glide out smoothly. It\u2019s like turning a car on slowly so the engine doesn\u2019t jolt.\u201d\n\n**Key Points to Emphasize**\n\n- **Soft, gentle start** \u2013 no force, no rush.  \n- **Keep the mouth relaxed** \u2013 no tightness.  \n- **Let the word flow naturally** \u2013 no stopping or pausing.\n\n**Demonstration**\n\n- Teacher says a word using easy onset (e.g., \u201c**b**alloon\u201d) and models the smooth start.  \n- Student repeats, focusing on the soft beginning.\n\n---\n\n### 5. Practice Activity \u2013 \u201cEasy\u2011Onset Relay\u201d (10\u201120\u202fmin)\n\n**Setup**\n\n- Divide the class into two teams (or just the student and a partner if class size is small).  \n- Place Easy\u2011Onset Cards in a pile.  \n- The baton is the cue to start speaking.\n\n**Rules**\n\n1. **Draw a Card** \u2013 The student draws a card from the pile.  \n2. **Soft Start** \u2013 The student begins the word or phrase on the card with an easy onset.  \n3. **Relay** \u2013 Once the word is finished, the student passes the baton to the partner, who then draws a new card.  \n4. **Keep Going** \u2013 Continue until all cards are used or time runs out.\n\n**Scoring**\n\n- Each successful easy onset earns a \u201cListening\u201d sticker.  \n- Encourage the student to aim for at least 3 stickers in the session.\n\n**Teacher\u2019s Role**\n\n- Provide gentle prompts (\u201cRemember the soft start!\u201d) if the student hesitates.  \n- Celebrate each successful turn with a high\u2011five or a verbal cheer.\n\n---\n\n### 6. Communication Attitude Mini\u2011Lesson (20\u201125\u202fmin)\n\n**Objective** \u2013 Teach classmates how to respond positively when the student stutters.\n\n**Key Messages**\n\n- **Listen fully** \u2013 Give the student time to finish.  \n- **Show support** \u2013 Nod, smile, or say \u201cI\u2019m listening.\u201d  \n- **Avoid finishing the sentence** \u2013 Let the student complete the thought.  \n- **Keep the conversation flowing** \u2013 Ask follow\u2011up questions after the student finishes.\n\n**Activity**\n\n- **Role\u2011Play** \u2013 Teacher demonstrates a stutter and a supportive response.  \n- **Student Practice** \u2013 Student practices the supportive response with a partner.  \n- **Class Discussion** \u2013 Quick talk about how it feels to be listened to.\n\n---\n\n### 7. Cool\u2011down & Reflection (25\u201130\u202fmin)\n\n1. **Self\u2011Reflection** \u2013 Student writes or says one thing they did well today.  \n2. **Teacher Feedback** \u2013 \u201cYou did a great job starting words softly and you helped your friend listen.\u201d  \n3. **Home Goal** \u2013 \u201cTry to use a soft start when you talk to your family for 5 minutes today.\u201d  \n4. **Closing** \u2013 \u201cGreat work today! I\u2019m proud of how you practiced and how you helped your friends listen.\u201d\n\n---\n\n### 8.

Assessment & Follow\u2011up\n\n- **During the session**: Count the number of easy onsets used successfully.  \n- **After the session**: Review the student\u2019s self\u2011reflection and the teacher\u2019s notes.  \n- **Next session**: Increase the difficulty by adding longer phrases or incorporating the technique into a short story.\n\n---\n\n**Prepared by:** [Your Name], Speech\u2011Language Pathologist  \n**Date:** [Insert Date]  \n**Student:** [Student\u2019s Name]  \n**Grade:** 5th  \n\nFeel free to adapt the materials and timing to fit your classroom dynamics.
