Do you wish you had some fun and helpful therapy resources for the common phonological error of Gliding? 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.
Have you ever tried minimal pairs therapy for gliding and found that your students don’t understand what you are asking them to do, or you’re stuck because they’re not stimulable for “r” and “l” sounds? What if you could read your student a story that explains their speech pattern in a child-friendly manner (introducing the idea of running and gliding sounds), and then pair it with visuals and concepts that you can use to cue your student throughout the therapy process.
“Such a great resource! It was relatable and engaging for my student. The story helped so much and really made things click!”
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.
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., “gliding sounds” and “running 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 gliding 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 “gliding” and “running” 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!
“These are amazing! The cute little story helps bring the concept to life and I enjoy sharing the stories with parents so they can better understand what we’re working on. Colorful, engaging, well done.”
⭐ How does the Minimal Pairs Toolkit work?
FIRST Read the child-friendly “My Gliding & Running 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 Gliding and Running Sound concepts as cues as you engage in drill-play games using the beautifully illustrated minimal pairs cards.

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 always love how bright, colorful, and appealing the ASP resources are. These resources are easy to use, straight-forward, and very fun ☺️

The Gliding book is a simple way to explain /l/ and /r/ sounds. I am having some great success with the Minimal Pairs therapy approach. Adventures in Speech Pathology has some excellent videos on Instagram which have been helpful for me to see how she uses her materials with students. I will be using the Gliding book and cards for years to come

Love this gliding minimal pairs toolkit. I’ve already noticed a difference with these students by doing a phonological approach.
Christy P. (verified owner) –
I love this resource! I especially love the story and sorting activities so that kids can hear the difference between their production and the correct way to produce the sound. Thank you for a wonderful product!
Hannah L. (verified owner) –
Absolutely great toolkit! The story is such a great way to introduce the concepts to my students and explains the process so well. All terminology used is child friendly and the pictures are so lovely and bright that they make the students want to engage. I also love that the resource comes with colouring-in pages, a great resource to provide for home practice.
Ivonne H. (verified owner) –
I love this resource! This is one of my go to resources for students on my caseload who are gliding. The gliding story is also such a great concept for student to learn the difference between liquids and glides. Thank you!
