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.

Learning a new sound can be hard! Even though we didn’t practice this sound too much in isolation (I moved onto syllables and words very quickly), I think they were working so hard trying to cue themselves to use the “k” sound, that they kept saying the sound in isolation… then the rest of the word.

Saying it fast helped 👏🏼

The fourth leg of our “Which Phonological Intervention Should I Choose?” tour in Perth was AMAZING!

I was so impressed with the WA speech pathologists!! The kids are lucky to have you all supporting their speech sound development 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Shoutout to the team: Paul and Amanda for getting this event off the ground and looking after everyone so well.

Do you see how we had to use visuals to try to help the child HEAR the difference in the sounds by SEEING the difference?

Have you ever worked on or seen this before?

Have you ever had a child do this?
I find holding up the mouth cues to SHOW the child the sound can really help 👏🏼

Find them in the AISP shop, and start being more effective with your cues!

What are your thoughts about this??

Being a parent to a child with speech sound errors, I am guided by HER and how SHE FEELS about her speech.

I told myself I won’t “make her” come to therapy if she is happy with how she sounds.

Sometimes our students need to “see” what they’re doing with their tongue 👅 and then you can find the right cues that help them with new tongue placement!

Do you relate? Were you told to start an assessment speaking to the parents and getting a case history first?

That doesn’t work for me 🙃

1️⃣ We started with opening the mouth
2️⃣ Accepted a throaty sound and shaped it into a softer sound 
3️⃣ Next we cued the child to say it faster 🤗

Make sure you follow AISP for all our speech elicitation tips!

Has this ever worked for you? Have you elicited a “y” starting with the “ee” vowel?

Who says assessments have to be dry and boring??

The amount of laughter we get imitating these animals as part of our oral motor assessment is soooooo good for rapport building!!

Do you send video clips to parents and carers? I’ve found it can be particularly helpful at the beginning of therapy when the child is still learning about their sounds and we want to reinforce consistent cues that work in our therapy session, in the home environment.

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.

“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!”

  3. Kelsey B. (verified owner)

    This is a great resource for students with phonological processing disorder. this visuals are great and the kids really love to read the story.

  4. 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!

  5. Katelyn O. (verified owner)

    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.

  6. Rhonda W. (verified owner)

    I have been looking for a new analogy to teach FCD and this is perfect! Very engaging for my kiddos. I love that is have print and no print options so I can send it home for home practice as well. Thanks so much!

  7. Caroline B. (verified owner)

    Love this resource! So many grab and go activities to work with my students Final consonant deletion. Really helped save on planning.

  8. Carlie R. (verified owner)

    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!

  9. 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!

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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!
