Minimal Pairs Toolkit Bundle for Speech Therapy

Description

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 “tail sounds” and “sound buddies”), 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 resource is intended to be the STARTING PLACE for minimal pairs therapy.⭐

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.

Phonological patterns included in this bundle:

• Fronting (uses “Front & Back Sounds” as cues)
• Final Consonant Deletion (uses “Tail Sounds” as cues)
• Stopping (uses “Long & Short Sounds” as cues)
• Gliding (uses “Running & Gliding Sounds” as cues)
• S’ Cluster Reduction (uses “Sound Buddies” as cues)
• Voicing (uses “Quiet & Noisy Sounds” as cues)
