What types of cues did you see us use to get a clear “ch” sound?

1️⃣ the primary cue was a gestural cue - this helped to get a strong, long sound
2️⃣ we also included some verbal feedback about “round lips”

Just another reminder about the importance of layering your cues - and how every child will require different cues!

Find all the cues to elicit the “ch” sound in the Ch & J Sound Handbook 💪🏼

Day 2 of our Bjorem Cruise 👏🏼 

1️⃣ Navigating the ship was an experience in itself
2️⃣ Loved all the videos about CAS from @bjoremspeech 
3️⃣ I got to explore Nassau, Bahamas and swim in that water (and get dysregulated with loud music and hangry 😝) with my travel buddy @freetobeme.speech 
4️⃣ Bumped in to the phenomenal @speakingofsamantics team (Sam and Scott) on the boat
5️⃣ Games night was HILARIOUS! Our field cracks me up @mrsspeechiep 
6️⃣ it was just nice to “dress up” and explore the ship!

Why am I late with my Bjorem Speech Cruise recaps? Who’s got time to splice these together when you’re laughing, connecting, and gathering 100ish talkative SLPs together?!

Special mention to our keynote speaker, the incredible @phuonglienpalafox, my SLP besties @rocktherspeech, @freetobeme.speech and @mrsspeechiep - and the entire @bjoremspeech team who made this possible.

Our sponsors delivered on the goodies bags👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 @speakingofsamantics @meaviatoys @daileyeducationalservices

Whooo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 made it on board and officially checked in for the 2025 Bjorem Speech Cruise @bjoremspeech 

So excited to to connect and present with all the SLPs on board! Follow my stories for all the behind the scenes!

I was sleep deprived, time zone confused and a little overwhelmed at presenting in front of REAL LIFE SLPs for the first time in my career.

I love that the 2024 Bjorem Cruise 🚢 and Jen from @bjoremspeech offered me an opportunity and the right song to just make me feel like I could do this!

Can’t wait for next week!! I’ll be presenting about something I’m passionate about: getting high practice trials in speech therapy for working with SSDs.

Learn how to teach and elicit the ‘sh’ sound with these verbal instructions  and carefully chosen words to encourage round lips👌🏼

I could keep coming up with more mini ideas… should I make a round two version?

You don’t HAVE TO ELICIT A SOUND IN ISOLATION FIRST 😅

Yep, feel that relief! You can carefully screen for possible facilitative contexts, and see if certain vowels or consonants can encourage (or facilitate) a clearer sound!

I’ve updated my vocabulary (part of being a Know Better, Do Better SLP).

The last one (swapping “correct” for “clear”) is a personal choice after reflecting on my own child’s speech journey.

What words have you changed?

#articulation #speechsounddisorders #speechsounds #speechdelay #schoolslp #adventuresinspeechpathology
If you child deletes the second consonant sound in a cluster, you may need to work on that smaller word chunk (e.g., “lice”), and THEN try adding the /s/ at the start to make the cluster.

Description

We know that working on clusters can make significant gains in speech intelligibility, but often they can be hard to teach and even harder for a child to blend together. This bundle featuring /s/, /l/ and /ɹ/ clusters breaks down the complex cluster into smaller, manageable parts so that the child can achieve success. Using multisensory cueing as well as forward and backward chaining, you can try various types of cues to see which ones help your student! These cues can be helpful for children with a range of speech sound disorders, including phonological impairment and Childhood Apraxia of Speech.

DOWNLOAD THIS RESOURCE IF YOU WANT TO:
➊–Cues to break down a complex word (featuring clusters) into smaller, manageable parts.
❷–To try different types of cues, and nothing has helped “click”.
❸–Additional cues while using the complexity approach, minimal pairs, or cycles approach, to teach the cluster.
❹–To support students with motor planning challenges (e.g., CAS) that require specific cueing, coarticulation, and support to sequence clusters.

There are three different sheets and cues for each /s/, /l/ and /ɹ/:
1. Backward chaining (e.g., key, key, key, ski)
2. Forward chaining (e.g., fffffflake)
3. Flashcards with visual cues

Multisensory Cueing:
We know that children learn differently, and these Cluster Help Sheets give you multiple options for teaching /s/, /l/ and /ɹ/ clusters. Teach your child that they have to use their /b/ sound when they see the bouncing ball visual or a /f/ sound when they see a bunny teeth picture. You might like to tap or trace with your finger to reinforce the continual airflow and need to join the first sound to the rest of the word. This helps the child break down the word into smaller, manageable speech units to help the child to “hear” the individual sounds or syllables within the word.

=====================================

9 reviews for Cluster Reduction Help Sheets – BUNDLE

  1. Blair

    This is an amazing resource. It is incredibly effective to provide students high frequency practice of L blends. These also make great homework sheets. I value the opportunity to practice one Cluster at a time. I often probe across worksheets (FL, CL, BL…) to see which my students are stimulable for to select which one to practice first. I also find this worksheet doubles as an opportunity to work on phonological awareness skills! This is a really unique and effective set of worksheets and a great value!

  2. Becky (verified owner)

    This is such an effective resource for practicing blends. They’re beautifully presented- clear and easy for caregivers to use at home too! A great addition to my therapy toolkit! Thank you!

  3. Lori R.

    Love these cluster worksheets, they really help the consonant cluster population realize that all the sounds are important in a blend. Easy to use and no prep. Both the kids and I love them.

  4. Chelsea R.

    Amazing resource. The visual cues work wonderfully to support my children with targeting the phonological process of cluster reduction

  5. Nina C.

    A great resource with lots of pages that allow for high practice trials

  6. Rachel S.

    Working on all of the different consonant clusters can be tricky when kids can get some but not others, so this bundle has been very helpful in tailoring my approach for what each student needs extra support with.

  7. Shannon H.

    Love this set. I appreciate the visuals to represent each sound in a cluster. I also love the full page worksheet practice format and that the cards have a small version of the symbols shown above the target picture so I am not chasing the sound symbol cards around the table when working with groups of students who all have different sounds to work on with different visual cues needed. Perfect!

  8. Beth K.

    This is an absolutely amazing resource. My kids love it and it’s great to send home with the child to practice with the parents. Thank yOU!!

  9. Kate (verified owner)

    Love these. easy to use in session and to send home !!
