Minimal Pairs Toolkit Bundle for Less Common Patterns – BUNDLE

Description

We’re all familiar with common phonological patterns such as fronting and stopping… but have you ever tried to find materials for less common phonological patterns and have failed to find anything?

This bundle targets less common phonological patterns: initial consonant deletion, deaffrication, ‘s’ cluster reduction to ‘s’, s-th substitution, ‘l’ cluster reduction, and th-f fricative simplification.

The Minimal Pairs Toolkit Bundle is based on the evidence but driven by real-life clinical practice from an SLP who solely treats speech sound disorders and knows the roadblocks all SLPs face when trying to implement minimal pairs!

“This is my go to resource! Students love the stories and the discrimination. I don’t just use these for my phonology students, I use them for students working on articulation skills as well! Very child friendly and engaging!”

If you have you ever tried minimal pairs therapy and found that your students don’t understand what you are asking them to do, our answer is a fun story that explains their speech patterns in a child-friendly manner (e.g., introducing the idea of “windy vs. exploding sounds” and the “snake out of the cage” sound), and then pairs it with visuals and concepts that you can use to cue your student throughout the therapy process.

⭐ If you are looking for materials featuring more common phonological patterns (fronting, gliding, voicing, final consonant deletion, ‘s’ cluster reduction, stopping) check out the original Minimal Pairs Toolkit Bundle ⭐

Have you ever tried minimal pairs therapy for common phonological patterns and found that your students don’t understand what you are asking them to do? What if you could read your student a story that explains their speech errors in a child-friendly manner (e.g., introducing the idea of “snake out of the cage sounds” and “starting and hiding sounds”), and then pair it with visuals and concepts that you can use to cue your student throughout the therapy process.

DOWNLOAD this toolkit if you want to:
➊ — Understand the steps in minimal pairs therapy
➋ — Complete familiarization and auditory discrimination tasks in a print or digital format
➌ — Get a list of multisensory activity ideas to help teach the concepts
➍ — Have a set of high-quality minimal cards
➎ — Use the print or digital stories to introduce the phonological cues
➏ — Evidence-based information about minimal pairs therapy

“This is the most comprehensive, researched, and well thought out material out there! It really explains what minimal pairs are and how to practically implement them.”

FIRST Introduce the concept (e.g., that there are “starting sounds and hiding sounds” or “windy and exploding sounds”) by reading the child-friendly stories and completing some of the hands-on learning activities.
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 concepts as cues as you engage in drill-play games using the beautifully illustrated minimal pairs cards.

Phonological patterns included in this bundle:

• Initial Consonant Deletion (uses “Starting & Hiding Sounds” as cues)
• Deaffrication (uses “Windy & Exploding Sounds” as cues)
• ‘S’ Cluster Reduction to ‘S’ (uses “Sound Buddies” as cues)
• S-Th Substitution (uses “Snake out of the cage sounds” as cues)
• Th-F Fricative Substitution (uses “Biting & Tickling” as cues)
• ‘L’ Cluster Reduction (uses “Sound Buddies” as cues)

CONTENTS:
✅ — Toolkits for x6 phonological patterns
✅ — Evidence-based practice rationales and minimal pairs flowchart
✅ — Multisensory activities to help support the phonological concept.
✅ — Minimal pairs word lists
✅ — Visual cue cards (in various sizes to fit on task boxes etc.)
✅ — inimal pairs cards in color + black and white
✅ — A print and a digital copy of each story (e.g., “My Tail Sound Story” and “My Sound Buddy Story”) which introduces the metalinguistic concepts of the phonological rule you will be teaching.
✅ — The digital version includes familiarization and auditory discrimination tasks

What SLP’s like you are saying:
❝ I use these cards all the time! This has made it so much easier for me to use minimal pairs with my speech sound disorder students. I would highly recommend this bundle!❞

❝ Love love that this resource has been created for the less common patterns and now I have an easy go to when planning sessions such as “s cluster to s” ❞

❝ Thanks so much for making this resource. It is really helpful to have resources surrounding these less common errors. I certainly have kids with these error patterns on my caseload, so it is great to have a resource at my fingertips. Saves me so much time. And allows practice at home too with really motivating Boom Cards. Thanks ❞
