Description
Have you ever tried minimal pairs therapy for S-Th substitution and felt that your students would benefit from having this pattern explained to them in terms that they understood? What if you could read your student a story that explains their speech errors in a child-friendly manner (introducing the idea of snake out of the cage sounds), and then pair it with visuals and concepts that you can use to cue your student throughout the therapy process.
