Word Lists for the /s/ sound

Place the tip of your tongue on the ridge directly behind your upper front teeth.  Contact the sides of your tongue with the sides of your top teeth.  Force air without any voice over the center of your tongue and pull back the tip ever so slightly.  This is the /s/ sound. We also sometimes call it the snake sound.  (be careful to keep your tongue behind the top teeth!)
