Deaffrication Minimal Pairs Toolkit SH CH

Have you ever tried minimal pairs therapy for deaffrication and found that your students don’t understand what you are asking them to do? What if you could read your student a story that explains their speech errors in a child-friendly manner (introducing the idea of windy and exploding sounds), and then pair it with visuals and concepts that you can use to cue your student throughout the therapy process.

“I was struggling to find a good way to explain deaffrication to the little ones and this is perfect. It includes an easy-to-understand story and I love how it breaks things down into “exploding sounds” vs. “windy sounds”.”

As an SLP who only treats speech sound disorders, I have created the ultimate “research-meets-clinical practice” resource, combining EVERYTHING you need (and didn’t know that you needed) to effectively implement the minimal pairs approach and make progress week-by-week.

DOWNLOAD THIS RESOURCE IF YOU WANT TO:

⭐ How does the Minimal Pairs Toolkit work?

FIRST Read the child-friendly “My Windy & Exploding Sounds” story and complete the hands-on learning activities so that your student “clicks” with the phonological rule
NEXT By using the print or digital version, complete familiarization and auditory discrimination activities so that your students understand and can hear the difference between the pairs.
THEN Use these “windy” and “exploding” concepts as cues as you engage in drill-play games using the beautifully illustrated minimal pairs cards.
