This resource is a must-have if you treat children with fronting. I’ve used it so much! Often children have achieved the easier words like tea/key, bat/back, but when both their error and contrasting sound appear in the same word they get confused! (dog, tiger, guitar). This resource gives the child allll those cues they need…so they know WHERE in the word to say k/g or t/d. I have found that children have progressed quickly towards generalisation once I introduced these cards!

Rebecca always makes the resources I need but never have the time to make myself! Such a time saver and always high quality, this resource has been perfect for so many of my clients!

This has been such a great addition to my fronting toolkit! I generally find my kids will quickly get k/g words but as soon at the word contains an alveolar, they struggle. I’ve used these cards successfully to focus on drilling those error words one they are confident with ‘k’ and ‘g’. I love that it includes 1, 2 and 3 syllable words as well.

I cannot recommend Rebecca’s resources enough! I work with primarily with children with speech sound disorders and have 13 clients with childhood apraxia of speech. I use these ALL the time when supporting a child with velar fronting or a motoric aspect (CAS) as the reason for their /k/ and /g/ difficulties. My clients with CAS struggle with words that have a k/g and d/t in them. I have even used them with a client with CAS who was voicing /t/ to /d/ but could now discriminate and produce so I moved them to these activities, worked a treat! I love the visuals and the handouts for parents to take home. Rebecca’s resource has saved me SO much time in the clinic. I have used the activities with severe SSD all the way to mild SSD.
