Initial Consonant Deletion Minimal Pairs Toolkit

Description

Have your students hit a roadblock with their initial consonant deletion pattern and you just need a proven minimal pair material that other SLPs use and recommend?

Many students don’t understand what you are asking them to do in minimal pairs therapy! What if you could read your student a story that explains their speech errors in a child-friendly manner (introducing the idea of starting and hiding sounds), and then pair it with visuals and concepts that you can use to cue your student throughout the therapy process.

“Great visual and tools for initial consonant deletion. It can be so tricky to treat and this helped with my young students.”

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.

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 initial 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 “starting” and “hiding” 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!

⭐ How does the Minimal Pairs Toolkit work?

FIRST Read the child-friendly “My Starting and Hiding Sounds Story” 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 the “starting” and “hiding” concepts as cues as you engage in drill-play games using the beautifully illustrated minimal pairs cards.
