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!

    This resource is another staple in my room. We use it often, it’s easy to prep and go, and it’s highly engaging. I’d highly recommend this resource!

    Another great resource from AISP. Great for both initial consonant deletion and initial phoneme collapse minimal pairs and multiple oppositions activities.

  3. Ashley W. (verified owner)

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

  4. Lauren W. (verified owner)

    Your resources are ALWAYS well organized, easy to follow and use, and very effective – this one is no different. Thanks!!

    The Minimal Pairs unit is used daily with my preschoolers….decided to add this to collection. This product is fun, engaging, and effective. 🙂

    I absolutely love these minimal pair resources. There are so few initial consonant deletion resources that are well done, this set has been so helpful with a few of my younger students.
