We have tips, tips, and more tips!!!! If this cue doesn’t work to encourage a clear “ch”, don’t forget we wrote the Ch Sound Handbook where you can find 100+ more ideas 💡

All it takes is 5-10 minutes to screen for possible facilitative contexts (words that encourage a clear production of our target sound), but this can set you up for INSTANT success!

If you took my free SLP Summit talk, then you saw these screeners in action! Why waster weeks and months with no progress when it doesn’t have to be that way?

We’ve bundled and discounted our THERAPY CHANGING facilitative contexts packets to get faster progress in articulation therapy 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

If you watched by free SLP Summit presentation, then you’d know how quickly the students in my case studied progressed when we found words that encouraged clear sounds!!

Comment “master” so that I can send you a link to register for our first online course!

Apart from the four PDH you get, just know that you will NEVER have to take another PD on minimal pairs again 👏🏼

Don’t let the term “facilitative contexts” overwhelm you.

They’re just carefully chosen words 👏🏼 we have seen the most AMAZING progress with our articulation students last year when we took 10 minutes to screen for possible facilitative contexts.

It’s so relieving to “skip the isolation phase” and start therapy with a set of WORDS the child can say CLEARLY!

You KNOW you could do better! You KNOW you still have lots of questions! So why not MASTER the Minimal Pairs Approach once and for all?

Wouldn’t it be amazing to go on autopilot because you just understand and know what to do with minimal pairs therapy?

COMMENT “master” now so you can register and for early bird pricing. We kick off on February 10th, mark those calendars 🗓️

You never know what’s going to 💫click💫 when it comes to eliciting speech sounds.

At least our Speech Sound Handbooks GIVE YOU all those cues, tips and tricks to try 👌🏼

Stuck teaching clusters? Try chaining! It’s visual and breaks down a complex word into smaller, easier to say chunks for the child 🙌🏽

2025 is shaping up to be a BIG YEAR for professional development 👏🏼

So far our calendar is booked for: Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Townsville, and Canberra!

If you use INACCURATE mouth cue visuals, then how can you expect your child to say the sound ACCURATELY?! 🤯🤯🤯

Give your child or student the best chance by showing them pictures that:
1. Look real and are detailed 
2. Highlight voicing and airstream
3. Represent YOUR students mouths

It’s my 40th birthday today 🎈thank you mum for having the girls so I could go on an adventure to my 53rd new country (in Bali, Indonesia).

I’ve loved the floating breakfast trays, rice paddies, spiritual cleanses, temples, monkeys, massages, and especially the beautiful local people here!

Have you ever tried this for your students?

We teach clusters a LOT, and forward and backward chaining can be so helpful 💪🏼

Description

This simple, informal screener is a fantastic addition to your speech assessment toolkit because it quickly allows you to get an understanding of your student’s syllable structure capabilities. For each sound, you will have pictures for C – CV – VC – CVC – CVCV so that you can start to get a deeper look at any possible syllables restraints.

Save money and get in a BUNDLE with my Oral Motor Assessment Cards

You might find it particularly useful for students who you suspect have Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), young children who are still developing their speech system, or those with highly unintelligible speech. A form is included so that you can phonetically transcribe or check off sounds that were made. Please note that transcriptions are NOT included, just the word with space to write down your own observations.

⭐ BOTH digital and a paper version is included for flexible use and on-the-go use!⭐

That’s right, while it’s super easy to print, laminate and attach a ring binder clip for easy flipping, a separate PDF file has been added focusing on one sound strip per page to upload to your device. This is especially useful for your shy students, mobile therapists or students who respond better to digital presentations.

=====================================
CONTENTS:
✅ — 21 strips focusing on the following consonant sounds: p, b, m, n, y,w, h, t, d, k, g, f, s, l, sh, z, j, ch, r, v and th.
✅ — The sounds are based on developmental acquisition of speech sounds, so you can always stop at a certain point if you don’t expect a student to have acquired a sound
✅ — All images are in color – fitting 4 strips to a page. This means that they are not big and bulky – they save ink in printing being more long and slim.
✅ — C – CV – VC – CVC – CVCV are included. Please note that the ‘C’ is a visual image of the mouth. There are some sounds that do not have words for some positions (e.g. VC for ‘h’).
✅ — The ‘digitial’ version has 21 slides as they focus on one sound per page. You may still need to print the record sheets from the other document.
✅ — A record sheet is included so that you can make notes about the child’s production.

What SLP’s like you are saying:

This screener was intuitive and exactly what I needed.

I used this as a progress monitoring tool for a student with CAS. It also helped me decide what to work on in sessions and write goals.

Great screener for my kids. I was able to use it online and in the classroom easy to follow accurate words and information obtained from results.

I love making functional resources that become part of your toolkit that you can use again and again!

7 reviews for Informal Syllable Structure Screener

  1. Alexandra Robilliard (verified owner)

    I have found this incredibly useful for the little ones on my caseload (2-3) years. There are 3-4 pictures per page so it’s not too overwhelming and the pictures are engaging. This is my go too if I suspect CAS as it allows a good first look at syllable structure without being too time consuming to administer. I’ve used the picture cards for therapy too!

  2. Carlie R. (verified owner)

    Easy way to test stimulability in all word positions / word shapes. I like this resource for my kids with severe phono errors or apraxia

  3. Laura G. (verified owner)

    This resource is amazing! So quick and easy to use, but thorough! My students enjoyed being able to click through the resource with the errors on the digital version.

  4. Kelsey S. (verified owner)

    This screener has helped tremendously with my apraxia students!

  5. Erika L. (verified owner)

    Love using this with my students with apraxia of speech. So easy to prep and use!

  6. Abby E. (verified owner)

    This is an excellent screener that is quick and easy to administer!

  7. Bridget N. (verified owner)

    I used this as a progress monitoring tool for a student with CAS. It also helped me decide what to work on in sessions and write goals.
