Ever spent a week emphasizing the "P" sound? At our speech teacher's instruction, we've even done a "soundblast" (totally not a technical term) where we spend a week or two emphasizing the sound.

Our favorite way to emphasize sounds is through songs, because it's easy to do. After she masters a sound, we like to keep the songs in rotation to reinforce the sound later.

These songs aren't exactly rocket science—most of them are common nursery rhymes or holiday songs (with a few grown-up songs thrown in for sanity). But, sometimes our minds go blank about which sounds are in which songs! Having a list helps save time. So, when we hear an alliterative song, we like to jot it down for future reference.

Here are some we've found!
