Description
Do you have children on your caseload who find it really hard to say and sequence /l/ clusters? Are you finding that your student continues to delete either the first or second part of their cluster and you’re stuck?! Perhaps you have tried all of your tricks, and don’t know where to go from here?
The ‘L’ Clusters Help Sheets resource uses different multisensory cues that break down how to say /l/ clusters using metaphors, visual cues, forward and backward chaining to help students be successful using consonant clusters.
DOWNLOAD THIS RESOURCE IF YOU WANT:
➊–Cues to break down a complex word (/l/ cluster) into smaller, manageable parts.
❷–To try different types of cues, and nothing has helped “click”.
❸–Additional cues while using the complexity approach, minimal pairs, or cycles approach, to teach the cluster.
❹–To support students with motor planning challenges (e.g., CAS) that require specific cueing, coarticulation, and support to sequence clusters.
THREE DIFFERENT MATERIALS FOR EACH /I/ CLUSTER:
1. Forward chaining (e.g., f-lake, flake)
2. Backward chaining (e.g., lake, lake, lake, flake)
3. Flashcards with visual cues on the top of the card
MULTISENSORY CUEING:
We know that children learn differently, and these ‘L’ Clusters Help Sheets give you multiple options for teaching /l/ clusters. Teach your child that they have to use their /b/ sound when they see the bouncing ball visual or a /f/ sound when they see a bunny teeth picture. You might like to tap or trace with your finger to reinforce the continual airflow and need to join the first sound to the rest of the word. This helps the child break down the word into smaller, manageable speech units to help the child to “hear” the individual sounds or syllables of the /l/ cluster word.
DIGITAL FILE CONTENTS:
✅ — Clusters included: /bl, fl, gl, kl, pl/ and /sl/
✅ — 12 x Forward Chaining Sheets for each /l/ cluster
✅ — 12 x Backward Chaining Sheets for each /l/ cluster
✅ — 72 flashcards (x12 for each /l/ cluster)
✅ — 80 pages of color + b&w pages provided

What SLP’s like you are saying:
❝ I ABSOLUTELY love this. I love the visuals that are on it. Kids seem to really understand it. Easy for homework too.❞
❝ This resource really “clicks” with my students. I often break up sounds in clusters like this verbally but it’s so nice to be able to show a visual and have the parents point to each part of the word in teletherapy❞
❝ This resource is so helpful! My students really benefit from the picture visuals to mark both sounds in blends. I love using this resource in therapy and sending it home for carryover❞

Excellent tool for /l/ blend targets!

This product is so helpful! It puts into pictures how I naturally cue my students- I love that it offers both forward AND backward chaining as not every child responds to one or the other. Thank you for creating this!

add this to your toolkit!
I loved the s-cluster help sheets, so I ordered the l-cluster and r-cluster chaining sheets. If you work with kids with speech sound disorders this toolkit, including the r-cluster and s-cluster help sheets are going to be an amazing tool. There’s instructions on how to forward and backward chain each page which is also helpful for me! I feel confident using speech sound strategies with AISP materials.

Useful Resource
I have purchased many of Rebecca’s resources and they are consistently high-quality, evidence-based and useful additions to my therapy toolkit. The visuals in this resource are fantastic for supporting children to blend ‘l’ clusters using bright, fun, and easily recognisable imagery. I also like that I can print a few sheets and give them to teachers/parents because they are very easy to use/interpret.

Fantastic
Wendy P. (verified owner) –
I’m looking forward to using these with my preschoolers. I am always looking for different materials while working on the same sounds over and over with kids who get bored of the materials easily! I also like having ready-made materials for breaking up the sounds in the words, to help my students get those missing pieces. I like that these can be kept as single sheets or cut up into individual strips. I’ll likely laminate the the sheets and use a dry-erase marker or wipe-off crayon with my kids. Thanks for putting this all together so I don’t have to!
Jennifer J. (verified owner) –
This is a great resource for helping my preschoolers understand how to put both sounds in those blends. Thank you!

I love using this resource with one of my younger students who has been struggling with /l-blends/ – this has been a huge game changer for her and she is able to generalize to other blends now.
Sophie C. (verified owner) –
LOVE this resource! I use this all the time and it’s great to have both forward chaining and backward chaining visuals. It’s great to work out what strategy works best for each kid and I’ve seen lots of success using it. Thanks for a great resource once again :).

I loooove using backward chaining in my therapy sessions! The visuals in this packet are intuitive and really “click” with my clients. Highly recommend!

I love everything about this resource…all blends are included (I use SL most often), there are forward and backward chaining options, color and less ink options, multi sensory cues…just everything!! The visuals are so helpful for my students and can be used in a variety of engaging ways! Rebecca makes my favorite resources! Highly recommend any and all of them!!
