Description
The best-selling Final Consonant Deletion Minimal Pairs resource is the most comprehensive minimal pairs resource for SLPs on the market! Have you ever started minimal pairs therapy for final consonant deletion and found that your students don’t understand what you are asking them to do and why they need to contrast pictures like “boo-boot?”
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.
“After the first use my students caught on so fast. The examples were really helpful and the kids understood exactly what to do. I will be purchasing more Toolkits!”
What makes this therapy resource unlike any other is the phonological pattern stories, which explain the student’s pattern in a child-friendly manner that makes sense and “clicks” for them (e.g., “tail sound” and “no tail sound”).
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 final consonant deletion 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 “tail 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!
“Love this resource and the use of “tail sounds” as an analogy to discriminate and elicit word differences. The story used to explain final consonants is awesome. The kids come away with a firm understanding of the rules of language to improve overall speech clarity.”
⭐ How does the Minimal Pairs Toolkit work?
FIRST Read the child-friendly “Tail Sound” 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 Tail Sound concepts as cues as you engage in drill-play games using the beautifully illustrated minimal pairs cards.

What SLP’s like you are saying:
“I absolutely love this resource!!! It is such a cute story for little ones that makes them understand the “tail” sounds!”
“This really helped to explain the concept of final consonant deletion to my client. He has struggled to understand the concept previously so this is a game-changer for us in therapy. Thanks :)”
“I wish I’d bought this sooner! I introduced this to a couple of my kiddos and it instantly clicked! No more FCD!! Well worth purchasing this product!”
“Really “clicked” for a lot of my students! The visual and the story helped them understand the parts of our words so much for than when I’d write it orthographically or say it to them! Now, we can use little animals and they use the tail as a visual to say the final sound. Amazing!”

This is a great resource for students with phonological processing disorder. this visuals are great and the kids really love to read the story.
Ellen H. (verified owner) –
Woot woot! Now my kiddo can see the difference between a word with or without a final consonant! We also used it to test his auditory comprehension- now that I know he can hear the difference between words with and without final consonants (he points at them as I say them), we can move on to his use!

This is the 3rd or 4th set of minimal pairs cards that I have purchased from Adventures in Speech Pathology and I am always pleased with the product. The pictures are bright and are easy to store. I find that students are able to quickly catch on to the concept of minimal pairs and the variety of sounds that are offered in the pack is perfect.

I have this resource & the one for fronting. They have both been super helpful as they provide no prep way to use minimal pairs for students with severe phono issues. Definitely recommend!
Karen M. (verified owner) –
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. These make for great activities in session and easy homework to send home. Highly recommend!
Megan K. (verified owner) –
Great resource to help my kiddos learn their “tail” sounds. Working with minimal pairs really helps my students understand how one sound can change the meaning of the word they are trying to produce.
Rebecca S. (verified owner) –
Great for use with clients who have cochlear implants as the visuals help them understand the need to make the final sound.
Mandy I. (verified owner) –
Exactly what I need to work with my preschoolers. I love that there is a story with beautiful visuals to help the student understand the sound concepts. Thank you!
