Virtual z story.
In the vibrant land of Zambia, there lived a zealous zoologist named Zachary. With a zest for adventure, Zachary was on a mission to find the zany zebrafish that swam in the crystal-clear rivers. He had heard stories about these zebrafish from his friend, who claimed they had a zigzag pattern that dazzled anyone who saw them. Inspired by the tales of their zippy movements, Zachary packed his gear and set out, determined to explore the zany underwater world.
As he wandered through the lush landscape, the gentle zephyr rustled the leaves overhead. Zachary stopped to observe a nearby zoo where animals roamed freely. He noticed how the zebras strutted with pride, their stripes making a striking contrast against the green grass. “I wish I could zoom underwater like those zebrafish!” he thought. Suddenly, he spotted a colorful flash beneath the surface of the water. His heart raced with excitement as he dove in, ready to find the zany fish he had been dreaming about.
With each splash, Zachary felt like a czar of the aquatic kingdom, commanding the attention of all the creatures. He zigzagged through the water, his eyes scanning for the unique colors of the zebrafish. “Zing! There they are!” he exclaimed as he spotted a school of zebrafish darting by, their patterns dazzling in the sunlight. With joy bubbling inside him, Zachary realized that his quest was a success, and he had discovered the magic of Zambia’s underwater wonders.
In the sunny land of Brazil, there lived a zesty lizard named Jasmine. She had a zeal for life and a desire for something special: amazing cheesecake! Rumor had it that the best cheesecake in the world was found at a cozy café in the bustling city. Jasmine’s cousin had appraised it as the tastiest dessert around, so she zipped up her tiny blazer, packed her things, and set off on her journey, eager to savor each delicious bite.
As Jasmine traveled, she zigzagged through lush jungles, dodging busy bees and zany bozo monkeys. Her path was often dizzying, filled with dazzling flowers and the occasional buzzing of insects. “This adventure is crazy!” she thought, feeling a delightful thrill with every step. However, Jasmine’s excitement soon turned to concern when she stumbled into a blizzard of butterflies swirling around her. “This must be a sign!” she declared, laughing at her clumsy mistake as she tried to escape their colorful chaos and the zippy breeze.
Finally, after many zigzags and dizzy spells, Jasmine reached the café. She saw the cheesecake displayed like a glorious Aztec monument, gleaming under the zesty sun. With her eyes sparkling, she ordered a slice, and the creamy dessert melted in her mouth. “This cheesecake truly deserves a zillion stars!” she exclaimed, feeling as though she had won a cosmic prize. Satisfied and happy, Jasmine savored her well-earned treat, knowing this adventure was one she would never forget. With a full belly and a dazzling smile, she couldn’t wait for her next zany adventure.
Santa Claus with a special gift: juicy tomatoes and creamy mayonnaise! With a zest for creativity, they decided to organize a surprise party, hoping to amuse Santa with their tasty treats. “Let’s choose the ripest tomatoes!” exclaimed Buzz, the bravest bee, as they zigzagged around their little hive. The excitement made them dance in the warm breeze, their wings glimmering like tiny jewels.
As the days passed, the bees worked diligently, collecting the finest ingredients. They drew up a zesty plan to create a dazzling dish that would make Santa’s eyes light up. They practiced their cooking skills, mixing and matching flavors with zeal and zest. “We can glaze the tomatoes and add a pinch of cheesy goodness for fun!” suggested Bea, whose culinary skills always amazed her friends. Meanwhile, they could hear the distant cries of crows and the gentle buzz of the zephyr, reminding them of the time they had left. They needed to finish before the first snowflakes began to drizzle down!
Finally, the day arrived. The bees zipped and zoomed, carrying their colorful tomatoes to the main square, where they would present their dish to Santa. They placed everything on a shiny tray, arranged with care. As Santa arrived, the bees gazed in anticipation, their hearts racing with excitement. “Surprise!” they buzzed in unison, their voices ringing like joyful bells. Santa’s eyes widened with delight. “This is a fantastic treat!” he exclaimed, laughing joyfully. The bees felt a zillion butterflies in their stomachs as they watched Santa savor their creation, knowing they had created a magical moment together.

225+ Free Z Words for Speech Therapy Articulation + PDF
As a speech-language pathologist working in the elementary setting, there was always some part of my day that was spent on articulation therapy. It was rare to not have an articulation student on a particular day. That’s why today I will be sharing with you a list of z words for speech therapy. My goal is to make your therapy planning that much easier!

Correct Production
The mouth position for the z sound is actually made the exact same as the s sound by lightly placing the tip of your tongue on the roof of your mouth (the ridge right behind your upper front teeth).
Be sure to place the sides of the tongue against the upper side of your teeth to allow for the passage of air to go down the center of the tongue.
Then while smiling and vibrating your vocal cords blow a skinny stream of air over the center of your tongue (you do not want the air to come out the sides of the tongue otherwise you will produce a lateral lisp of the z sound).
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 s and z sounds.
You can even play around by turning your voice (vibrating vocal folds on and off) and go back and forth between the s and z speech sounds. Kinda cool, huh?
If you’d love to have a handy visual cue to provide parents or to use in your therapy room you’ll want to grab these Speech Sound Visual Posters created by A Perfect Blend .
- Lateral Lisp: A lateral lisp or lateral distortions happens when air escapes out the sides of your teeth. To help reduce a lateral lisp encourage your client or student to place the sides of their tongue against the upper side of their teeth to allow the passage of air to go down the center of the tongue instead of out the sides of the teeth. The lateral lisp sounds like a “slushy” s sound.
- Interdental Lisp or Frontal Lisp: An interdental lisp or frontal lisp happens when the tongue protrudes between the front teeth. This causes the s and z sound to be produced as the /th/ sound. The word ‘zebra’ is then produced as ‘theebra’.
Years of Age
The z sound is a later developing sound. Children will begin to develop the sound around the age of 3.5 years old and should have the z sound master by the age of 8 years old.
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 Word Examples
Here is a list of single words with the target sound z for you to use in therapy or for at-home practice.
- For Example: zebra, zoo, zit, zap, zig-zag, zip, zombie
See full list of words, phrases, and sentences below.

Word Positions: Z Words Speech Therapy
Initial position of words.
The initial position of the z sound is at the beginning of a word. For example, “zoo” or “zebra”.
Medial Position of Words
Some words have the z sound in the medial position of a word, such as “wizard”, “dozen”, and “lizard”.
Final Position
The final positions of words are when the target sound is at the end of the word. For example, “sneeze” or “please” are both made at the ends of words.
Z Word Lists at Word Level
Some ways to practice include having your child or student say each z word one by one as they go through a list.
Using a dot marker can also be a great way to practice having your child put a dot under each z sound.

Short Sentences or Phrases
When working on the z sound production, it’s important to work on short phrases once your child or student has mastered the sound at the word level at or near 80% or higher accuracy.
Here is a list of z word phrases to try:

The next step after working at the word and phrase levels is to work on the z 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 z sound.
Another idea would be to give your child or student pictures with their z 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.
