Description
Have you ever tried minimal pairs therapy for ‘l’ blend cluster reduction (e.g., ‘blow’ is ‘bow’) and found that your students don’t understand what you are asking them to do?
As an SLP who solely treats children with speech sound disorders, we know the importance of combining “research-with-clinical practice”, giving you EVERYTHING you need (and didn’t know that you needed) to effectively implement the minimal pairs approach and make progress week-by-week.
“I have seen so much growth in my preschoolers via the minimal pairs approach, and I cannot speak highly enough about Rebecca’s minimal pairs toolkits! There’s just something so concrete about the combination of the story and the minimal pair cards that makes things click for my students.”
What makes this therapy resource unlike any other is the phonological pattern stories, which explain the student’s pattern in a child-friendly manner that makes sense and “clicks” for them (e.g., “sound buddies” and “no sound buddies”).
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 cluster reduction 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 “sound buddies”
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 Sound Buddies 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 Sound Buddy and No Sound Buddy concepts as cues as you engage in drill-play games using the beautifully illustrated minimal pairs cards.
