What SLP’s like you are saying:

❝ These are exactly what I needed! It is so hard to find minimal pairs that also have teacher guidance and great images for the students! I bought several items just like this from this store!! ❞

❝ This has been SUCH a helpful resource!! My kids love talking about their “sound buddies” – it was a perfect way to make a somewhat abstract concept more concrete, especially for my Kindergarten students. I loved it so much, I want to buy the whole bundle now! ❞

❝ I love all the minimal pairs tool kits and was happy to find this additional option for s-blends. It has been great to have a resource that is specific to cluster reduction to /s/. It’s difficult to find minimal pairs for this error pattern.❞
