Fronting & Backing Minimal Pairs Toolkit K T G D SH S

Explore the Number 1 selling Fronting and Backing Minimal Pairs resource available to SLPs! Have you ever tried fronting minimal pairs therapy for fronting and found that your students don’t understand what you are asking them to do and why they need to contrast pictures like “tea-key?”

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.

“This resource is so comprehensive! From teaching the minimal pairs strategy, to sound discrimination and word targets, I appreciate how much material is included in these resources.”

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., “front” and “back” sounds).

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 fronting 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 “front” and “back” sound
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 “Front & Back” 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 Front and Back concepts as cues as you engage in drill-play games using the beautifully illustrated minimal pairs cards.
