Description
Want to know why the Minimal Pairs Toolkit is the number 1 selling resource for SLPs on the minimal pairs approach with over 900 five-star ratings? It’s not only comprehensive, having activities and materials for all three steps of the approach (familiarization, auditory discrimination, and word production).
The Minimal Pairs Toolkit 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 resource is a life saver! I love all of the pre teaching tips you get for introducing a new error pattern and the stories that coincide with the process are very helpful. My students have caught on quicker since I’ve been using the various visuals included in this pack as things just seem to “click” better!”
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 “tail sounds” and “sound buddies”), and then pairs 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
“I use these materials SO frequently in my clinic with my speech clients and they’re amazing! The stories offer such a unique and helpful way to teach the patterns to clients in a fun and engaging way, and the cards are high-quality, as with all AISP products.”
FIRST Introduce the concept (e.g., that there are “tail sounds” or “front and back 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.

Hannah Forbes –
Hi Rebecca,
I watched your presentation yesterday and I am totally inspired! But one of the biggest things I realised I am missing is resources so I need to make some.
I normally work in person with student but currently everything is online over here (London). I just wanted to ask if the resources in this toolkit (i.e. the MP cards) are adaptable to a shared screen on Microsoft Teams or Zoom.
Thank you

Hi Hannah,
Most people prefer to use my Minimal Pair Boom Cards – they are interactive and the child can move the pictures. You *could* screen share using the minimal pair cards from the Toolkit… but it might be a bit boring, or you need to think of some good activities to go with it.

I bought the minimal pairs toolkit bundle but it only shows 3 of them- I’m specifically looking for the final consonant deletion One and it doesn’t seem to be in there so I wanted to see if I’m doing something wrong!? Thanks

Hi Stacy,
Thanks so much for purchasing the toolkit bundle. Yes, you’re right there should be more. I’ve fixed up the download file now so please try downloading it again and let me know how you go.
Thanks for your flexibility,
Rebecca

I purchased the toolkit bundle, but my email is not recognized so it is asking me to pay again. How do I access my materials?

Hi, I just wanted to say that this resource is truly one of a kind! I used the fronting minimal pairs tool kit and it was a game changer! One of the best purchases I’ve made, hands down!! So much insightful and helpful information. Thank you!!

I love this bundle! I made my own cards for so many different goals. The pictures are clear for the student to understand the target goal. I use them with so many different children on my caseload. It even includes ideas of how to use the materials in therapy, with instructions and materials to teach the concepts.

Love all of the resources included in the bundle, especially the discrimination stories! Thankyou for sharing!

This resource has been so helpful for working with my phono students! I love having books that explain the processes in kid-friendly terms and am so glad that I bought the bundle. I prepped books for three processes that were high priority for me at the time and then was delighted to realize that I also had materials for the other three. The kids love the books, so those alone would make this a very valuable purchase, but the word cards for discrimination and drill practice are great as well. I recently had a student who has been tough to engage ask if he could take his cards home.

Fantastic resource – saves so much time for intervention. I no longer have to create my own picture cards for minimal pairs. The pictures are engaging and bright for the students. I’ve now laminated most sets and have them in a storage box for easy access and repeated use.

Another great resource to have in my back pocket. The stories are simple and straightforward and have been helpful in explaining each phonological process. Fun and effective!
Karen A. (verified owner) –
This is probably one of my most well used resources! The handbooks are so user friendly and I reach for them frequently. The materials have engaging visuals and I’ve appreciated having them available to me without having to create my own. I cannot recommend this resource enough.
