What types of cues did you see us use to get a clear “ch” sound?

1️⃣ the primary cue was a gestural cue - this helped to get a strong, long sound
2️⃣ we also included some verbal feedback about “round lips”

Just another reminder about the importance of layering your cues - and how every child will require different cues!

Find all the cues to elicit the “ch” sound in the Ch & J Sound Handbook 💪🏼

My top tip is to record you explaining what you say! It makes sure everyone is on the same page 👏🏼

Day 2 of our Bjorem Cruise 👏🏼 

1️⃣ Navigating the ship was an experience in itself
2️⃣ Loved all the videos about CAS from @bjoremspeech 
3️⃣ I got to explore Nassau, Bahamas and swim in that water (and get dysregulated with loud music and hangry 😝) with my travel buddy @freetobeme.speech 
4️⃣ Bumped in to the phenomenal @speakingofsamantics team (Sam and Scott) on the boat
5️⃣ Games night was HILARIOUS! Our field cracks me up @mrsspeechiep 
6️⃣ it was just nice to “dress up” and explore the ship!

Why am I late with my Bjorem Speech Cruise recaps? Who’s got time to splice these together when you’re laughing, connecting, and gathering 100ish talkative SLPs together?!

Special mention to our keynote speaker, the incredible @phuonglienpalafox, my SLP besties @rocktherspeech, @freetobeme.speech and @mrsspeechiep - and the entire @bjoremspeech team who made this possible.

Our sponsors delivered on the goodies bags👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 @speakingofsamantics @meaviatoys @daileyeducationalservices

Whooo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 made it on board and officially checked in for the 2025 Bjorem Speech Cruise @bjoremspeech 

So excited to to connect and present with all the SLPs on board! Follow my stories for all the behind the scenes!

#bjoremspeech #adventuresinspeechpathology #speechpathologist #speechpathology
I was sleep deprived, time zone confused and a little overwhelmed at presenting in front of REAL LIFE SLPs for the first time in my career.

I love that the 2024 Bjorem Cruise 🚢 and Jen from @bjoremspeech offered me an opportunity and the right song to just make me feel like I could do this!

Can’t wait for next week!! I’ll be presenting about something I’m passionate about: getting high practice trials in speech therapy for working with SSDs.

Learn how to teach and elicit the ‘sh’ sound with these verbal instructions  and carefully chosen words to encourage round lips👌🏼

I could keep coming up with more mini ideas… should I make a round two version?

You don’t HAVE TO ELICIT A SOUND IN ISOLATION FIRST 😅

Yep, feel that relief! You can carefully screen for possible facilitative contexts, and see if certain vowels or consonants can encourage (or facilitate) a clearer sound!

I’ve updated my vocabulary (part of being a Know Better, Do Better SLP).

The last one (swapping “correct” for “clear”) is a personal choice after reflecting on my own child’s speech journey.

What words have you changed?

#articulation #speechsounddisorders #speechsounds #speechdelay #schoolslp #adventuresinspeechpathology
If you child deletes the second consonant sound in a cluster, you may need to work on that smaller word chunk (e.g., “lice”), and THEN try adding the /s/ at the start to make the cluster.

R Cluster Help Sheets for Speech Therapy

$7.00

Do you need a resource to help you teach the concept of R clusters? The R Cluster Help Sheets for Speech Therapy use multisensory cueing to help the children on your caseload learn complex r blend targets. This product will be helpful if the student leaves off the first or second sound in the cluster. These sheets can be used for backward chaining, forward chaining, and as flashcards with visual cues. Includes clusters: br, cr, dr, fr, gr, pr, and tr.

(7 customer reviews)

Description

Are you struggling to teach /ɹ/ clusters? Do you find that your student continues to delete either the first or second part of their cluster and you’re stuck with cues that can help?! If you have tried all the tricks you know, perhaps you just need a fresh strategy that SLPs all over the world have found useful.

The ‘R’ Clusters Help Sheets resource uses different multisensory cues that break down how to say /ɹ/ 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 (/ɹ/ 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., t-rain, train)
2. Backward chaining (e.g., rain, rain, rain, train)
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 /ɹ/ 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 /ɹ/ cluster word.

DIGITAL FILE CONTENTS:
✅ — Clusters included: /bɹ, dɹ, fɹ, gɹ, kɹ, pɹ, tɹ/
✅ — 14 x Forward Chaining Sheets for each /l/ cluster
✅ — 14 x Backward Chaining Sheets for each /l/ cluster
✅ — 80 flashcards (x12 for each /ɹ/ cluster)
✅ — 92 pages of color + b&w pages provided

What SLP’s like you are saying:
Used this with my clients and it just clicked!!! This is a great resource every SLP must have!

Fantastic visuals for working on these blend sounds. These really helped my student get a better sense of how the sounds blend together.

This resource is amazing. I’m having great success with eliminating cluster reduction with my speech kids. This is also a great resource to send home for homework.

    LOVE this resource! I use this all the time and it’s great that 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 :).

  3. Katrina S. (verified owner)

  4. Melodee K. (verified owner)

  5. Amy (verified owner)

    This is a great resource. It is straight forward, and easy to use, with nice, fun visuals!

  6. Maren C. (verified owner)

    Adventures in Speech Pathology always gets it right! Her methods make phonology make sense to the students on my caseload. She emphasizes phonological awareness, minimal pairs, etc and uses cute pictures to boot. I’ve never seen my students remedy their phonological errors (nor generalize) as quickly with any other resource.

  7. Nikki M. (verified owner)

    great visuals and great targets to help keep my students engaged!
