Thank you for this wonderful resource! I especially love the metaphor story and find it such a great way to teach this rule to little children. The cards are so fun, bright and a nice size to use in therapy too! 🙂

Love these resources! I own almost all of them. The story breaks it down in an easy way for students to understand the concept, the visuals are amazing, and the minimal pairs are functional and have great pictures.

Another go to resource when working with gliders! I love using the story in the early stages of the therapy process to introduce the idea to students. The added visual of the running arms and legs to represent the tension/lifting/bunching of the tongue is genius! A very helpful tool in my phonological process toolkit for w/r.

As a school-based SLP, gliding is one of the MOST common phonological processes I see every day. This toolkit gives me a great place to start with my kiddos and I love that it helps them understand differences in manner of production for different sounds. I have seen such a difference using these child-friendly toolkits in the treatment of speech sound disorders in my speech room.

So excited to use this resource! One area I do not feel as confident treating as an SLP is speech sound disorders. I love how this resource explains the step, and includes great target words to get you started.

I love these minimal pair resources! The story is a great way to introduce and remind the client what we are working on. I love that I can just print out the cards and have them ready to go. Saves so much time!
