Deaffrication Minimal Pairs Toolkit SH CH
$11.00
Do you wish you had some fun and helpful therapy resources for the common phonological error of Deaffrication? This product takes you through a brief evidence overview, a minimal pairs therapy flowchart, and how to introduce the concept of final consonants using a story. The toolkit also includes fun activities, word lists, and 88 quality color and black and white minimal pairs cards to take the stress out of therapy planning.
Description
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:
❶ — Have one resource that contains ALL the minimal steps: familiarization, auditory discrimination tasks and practice using minimal pair contrasts
❷ — Be able to “teach the rule” about deaffrication using our highly reviewed stories that “click” for students
❸ — Save planning time by referring to our therapy activity ideas to help teach the concept of “windy” and “exploding” sounds
❹ — Have a set of high-quality minimal cards
❺ — Choose between print or digital formats! Our story, familiarization and auditory discrimination tasks give you TWO options!
⭐ 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.

Great for SLPs!
As a speech-language pathologist, I’m always looking for engaging and practical resources that I can use immediately in therapy sessions, and this resource exceeded my expectations! The materials were well organized, easy to implement, and highly motivating for my students. I especially appreciated how versatile it was across multiple goals and age groups. It saved me valuable planning time while still providing meaningful practice opportunities. My students were engaged from start to finish, and I’ve already added this resource to my regular therapy rotation. Highly recommend to other SLPs looking for effective, ready-to-use materials!

Rebecca has done it again! These resources for minimal pairs are so incredibly effective with my students. Using the metaphors for windy/exploding sounds helped one of my students finally “get it”. Thank you for producing such high quality, engaging materials.

Review from Teachers Pay Teachers
Karen M. –
I use these minimal pair toolkits every. single. day. The story is a great introduction to the skill and to the language you will be using with the kiddos to describe the sounds. The minimal pair pictures are clear and most of my clients catch on to the words represented easily. I only wish it had final position minimal pairs as well. These make for great activities in session and easy homework to send home. Highly recommend!
