This guide details implementation pressure points to consider, how the K & G sounds are made, common errors to look out for, five different types of cues (100 individual cues in total), assessment probes, word lists, checklists, and all the tools you will need to work on a child’s best production of these sounds.
This handbook is designed for all levels of SLP experience and targeted towards individualizing therapy for the children on your caseload. If you have ever felt stuck in treatment for K & G sounds, we are confident there will be something new for you in this product.
Do you have a child who struggles to produce the sounds /k/ or /g/, and despite your efforts, are still having difficulties communicating? It can be so frustrating when you feel stuck in therapy and are unsure of how to help your child. Instead of repeating the same cues and hoping for a breakthrough, there’s a better solution.
Introducing the K & G Sounds Handbook: a comprehensive guide featuring over 100 different cues designed to help your child elicit the /k/ and /g/ sounds.
Unlike other elicitation books, this handbook offers a wide range of cues, including verbal instructions, word lists, photographs, and visuals, all tailored to individualize the learning process for your child. We’ve combined this extensive resource with real-life clinical experience to empower you with the confidence to problem-solve and find the right cues that match your child’s specific speech sound challenges.

CONTENTS:
Included in this detailed digital download are two comprehensive handbooks—one dedicated to the /k/ sound (70 pages) and the other to the /g/ sound (70 pages). The content is organized into seven chapters, which are outlined below for your reference:
✅ — “How to” guide on using cues: This section provides an easy-to-understand overview of various types of cues, stimulability testing, and how to effectively combine cues in speech therapy. It also includes helpful checklists and do’s and don’ts to guide you through the process.
✅ — Making the /k/ & /g/ sounds: Here, we delve into the mechanics of producing the /k/ and /g/ sounds and highlight common errors to be mindful of during therapy. You’ll find a special /k/ and /g/ sound screener and our top five recommended cues to try initially.
✅ — Phonetic Cues: In this chapter, we explore four different types of phonetic cues and demonstrate how to incorporate them to assist children in producing the /k/ and /g/ sounds.
✅ — Metaphor Cues: We provide colorful flashcards to help explain these meaningful, child-friendly explanations to facilitate the learning of the target sound, phonological rule, or feature that the child needs to grasp.
✅ — Gestural Cues: With real photographs, we showcase various gestures and hand movements that you or the child can utilize to facilitate a clearer production of /k/ and /g/ sounds.
✅ — Shaping Cues: Building upon the sounds your child can already say, this chapter outlines how to progress through their strengths to achieve the desired /k/ and /g/ sounds.
✅ — Key Word Environments: This section offers word lists carefully selected to encourage and support the proper production of the /k/ and /g/ sounds in meaningful contexts.

I am obsessed with this handbook! Rebecca has enriched my therapy skills over the years through her social media, but this feels like a bible to access her brain! So many fun ideas and different ways of teaching sounds to support a wide range of children’s skills. I can’t wait for the rest of the series to be ready to purchase!
Charlie Strutt (verified owner) –
This has been invaluable for my sound elicitation toolbox, it is filled with so many different ideas including lots I’d never even considered E.g. key word environments, it has been so useful for fresh ideas
Kennedy –
This handbook is everything I could have ever asked for. Not only does it provide so many different options of cues to try for each sound, but it also breaks down the different categories of cues to use (which as a newer SLP was huge for me). This handbook sets you up for success!
taelrand (verified owner) –
A great comprehensive tool kit! I am a seasoned SLP and found this helpful with cues, elicitation techniques and lots of word lists!
graves.alexandra1 (verified owner) –
I love this handbook! It has so many great cues to try and it is easy to follow!
Natasha Clements (verified owner) –
I’ve had a little one who was struggling with these sounds and finally managed success after trying the cues in this handbook. The key word environments has been life changing! I can’t wait for more handbooks to be released, they’re already on my must have list.
Liana Allilomou (verified owner) –
The most comprehensive guide ever. With so many cues to try, you’ll definitely find one that works. I can’t recommend this handbook enough and I’m sure all the others will be equally as valuable
emilykeen (verified owner) –
This handbook is amazing and has made me a much better clinician! The different cues allow me to try something new when my go to ways don’t work and tailor individual approaches suited to each child. The facilitative words lists are also a great addition as I have found that these often have success for children who don’t respond to the other cues!
Sarah Jenner (verified owner) –
I love this handbook! I have several client’s on my caseload that struggle with producing /k/ and /g/. This handbook covers so many cues that I wasn’t even aware of before purchasing it. My favorite section is the 5 best cues as it gives you a starting point. I would highly recommend this resource if you are feeling stuck with eliciting these sound.
stephanie Elliott (verified owner) –
These sound handbooks have been amazing. as a new clinician I was extremely nervous to treat speech sound disorders however after purchasing adventures in speech pathology handbooks I now have the knowledge and skills to treat with confidence. I currently have all three books and will be purchasing all of the others when they are made.
Jennifer (verified owner) –
I love these handbooks! I have purchased the /k/ & /g/, /l/ and ‘sh’. It is so helpful to have a variety of cues, elicitation techniques and word lists.
The key word environments lists have been a huge success for children who were not responding to the other cues.
I recommend purchasing these handbooks. They are well organised and evidenced based (provides a list of references).
klynneash (verified owner) –
Such a well-rounded and detailed body of evidenced-based practice for one of the most difficult sounds (in my opinion) to help a student learn when they are not stimulable. Had a client this year that I bought this resource because of. The client has /k/ in their name and had been in tears over not being able to achieve the sound. Cues from this handbook FINALLY helped me to elicit this sound from the student, and they are over the moon about it (so am I)!
Could not recommend this and all the other handbooks more!
Becky (verified owner) –
This is a must-have resource for when you feel like you’ve used up all your usual tips and tricks to elicit sounds! Rebecca has covered so much, and it is all presented so beautifully. Great quality, as always!
Paige V. –
I have never felt confident supporting students with the K and G sound until I found this gem! Such a wide variety of supports included.
Joyce S. –
Incredibly comprehensive and useful resource for SLPs to help elicit k and g. Offers specific guidance around feedback, cues, and highly facilitative contexts for these velar sounds. I found it very helpful to refer to the resource when working with a child who had difficulty producing k (we did manage to nail it in one session with Rebecca’s tips for k).
Alison R. –
Don’t hesitate to purchase this handbook if you are struggling with K/G elicitation. Rebecca has created such an amazing resource – even including facilitative contexts so you do not need to reinvent the wheel creating your own lists. Thank you for creating such a comprehensive tool for SLPs who have students who struggle with these sounds.
Aimee C. –
Oh my goodness, this is so unbelievably thorough! I had no idea there were so many ways to elicit k and g! i have only tried the tips with one client so far but am feeling much more confident in eliciting these sounds now i have more tricks at my fingertips!
Emily D. –
This resource has been especially helpful on the days that I’m working in the schools and see back-to-back students. Everything is at my fingertips with this resource so that even when I’m “winging it” my students get the absolute best evidence-based treatment.
Gianna R. –
These Handbooks should be in the hands of every SLP. How do I wish that I had it sooner? Do you know how much time it saves you when you get all this information summarized and you just have to implement it? You will do trial and error with each student, as always, but you will not need to spend as much time doing the research, just implementing it.
Sarah Smith (verified owner) –
This handbook is an absolute godsend for anyone having difficulties eliciting those tricky back sounds. I’ve used it twice (with the G facilitative contexts for speech resource) and I feel like a magician, I cannot recommend it enough!
Tinetta S. –
Rebecca spent so much time creating this handbook to provide great strategies for eliciting these sounds. Each client is so different and it is awesome having a toolbox of effective strategies to pull out when you get stuck in treatment.
Stacey G. –
This resource is fantastic! It helped me with finding a way to get the /k/ and /g/ sounds with a student. Love all the cueing options.
Jennifer S. –
I really love these sound guides – very comprehensive and puts all information in one place.
Lynnette S. –
These handbooks have made feel so much better about working with students that keep struggling with their /k/ and /g/ sounds. It is great to have a resource with multiple suggestions. This should be a required text for articulation classes.
Miranda H. –
I use this a LOT with my home health kiddos. Worth the money!
Samara P. –
I have purchased all of the sound elicitation handbooks and they are worth every penny. So many useful strategies to take advantage of. It’s easy to get stuck on using the same tips and tricks until you have a little one who they don’t work with. Now I have so many additional strategies to try and I’m finding that I’m successful in achieving new sounds within the first session for the vast majority of kids.
Michelle S M. –
What an amazing resource for addressing the K and G sounds! Includes multiple ways to elicit the sounds.
Felicity J. –
This was extremely helpful for a child that was particularly tricky and needed a lot of different ideas to help with simple elicitation of the sound!
Bethany T. –
I had a little guy I was seriously struggling with eliciting any kind of /k/ and this was super helpful. We had to really work our way through a lot of cues but we finally found what we needed thanks to this handbook.
Sarah V. –
One of my favourite handbooks! Rebecca does a great job of teaching new tips and tricks and I’ve had so much success after reading her material!
Shannon S. –
After many, many years as an sLP, I thought I knew all the tips and tricks to elicit /k/ and /g/, until one particular student newly enrolled in 2nd grade and absolutely none of my techniques worked. This Sound Handbook includes so many cues (including phonetic, metaphor, gestural, and shaping) for elicitation, plus facilitative contexts, that we finally had a breakthrough. This handbook was clearly created with a ton of research, time, and love. I will definitely be purchasing additional sounds. (Can we have a bundle, please??)
Tanya M. –
You are a wealth of knowledge. These handbooks are a life saver. Uni doesn’t even begin to prepare you for some things you see but your resources have helped me to learn so much more. I love your work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and practical experiences. You help to make all our lives so much easier and everything I do I know is back by evidence thanks to you.
Kelsey S. –
I love ALL things Adventures in Speech Pathology! If Rebecca makes it- I’m buying it! Lol this product is SO incredibly helpful! Rebecca provides a wealth of knowledge and every cue you can think of to help elicit /k/ and /g/. Thank you for this amazing resource!
Jodi Connell –
Page 70 in the K and G Sound Handbook was a GAME CHANGER today! This is the first time in 2 years that one of my students has been able to approximate the /k/ sound! We were able to build “beak” “peek”, “sock” and “buck” AMAZING!! I wish I had a picture of the look on his face when he heard the sound come out of his mouth! Thank you so so much!! Jodi
