Medial CH Sentences for Speech Therapy
25 simple sentences for practicing /ch/ in the medial position at carryover level. Every sentence is pronunciation-checked: each word is verified and the target sound is confirmed where it should be.
Why sentence-level practice matters
Sentences are where a practiced sound meets real speech: longer utterances, natural rhythm, and other sounds competing for attention. Accuracy usually dips when a child moves up — that dip is the point of the exercise, not a failure.
Have the child repeat first, then read (if reading), then answer questions using the sentence. When accuracy holds, move the same targets into conversation — the last level before generalization.

Frequently asked questions
- What are Medial CH sentences?
- Simple 5–9 word sentences where /ch/ appears in the medial position of at least one word — for example: “Monkeys search for food near green branches.”, “Birds watch cute bugs on tree branches.”
- Why do some sentences contain other tricky sounds?
- On purpose. At sentence level the goal is carryover into real speech, and real speech contains competing sounds. The target is still verified in position in every sentence.
- When should a child move from phrases to sentences?
- Typically after consistently accurate phrase-level practice. The SLP guiding the child makes the call — these lists support practice, they do not choose treatment targets.
- Can I get sentence-level practice on a printable worksheet?
- Yes. Ga-loo generates printable articulation worksheets for /ch/ with a chosen age range and theme, and phonetically checks every word before building the PDF.
