S-TH Substitution Frontal Lisp Minimal Pairs Toolkit
$11.00
If you work with children with the error pattern S-Th Substitution and have decided to use the minimal pairs approach, this toolkit is for you! It will give you all the tools you need to get therapy started, including high-quality minimal pairs cards, multisensory activity ideas, auditory discrimination tasks, and an engaging story that will explain the concepts in a child-friendly way for your students. This evidence-based, informed product covers the steps in minimal pairs therapy needed to give you confidence in delivering your treatment. This product has been designed to save you time and provide you with everything you need to feel prepared and be successful in therapy.
Description
Does your student substitute the “th” sound for “s” and say “thing” for “sing” and know they 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 pattern 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.
“I use this as a go to when I am working with students in the early stages of therapy. Not only is the story easy to implement with both digital and print options, but the visual cues are something that I go back to regularly throughout the therapeutic process.”
As an SLP who only treats speech sound disorders, I have created the ultimate “research-meets-clinical practice” resource, combining EVERYTHING you need (and didn’t know that you needed) to effectively implement the minimal pairs approach and make progress week-by-week.
DOWNLOAD THIS RESOURCE IF YOU WANT TO:
❶ — Have one resource that contains ALL the minimal steps: familiarization, auditory discrimination tasks and practice using minimal pair contrasts
❷ — Be able to “teach the rule” for “s-th” substitution using our highly reviewed stories that “click” for students
❸ — Save planning time by referring to our therapy activity ideas to help teach the concept of “snake out of the cage” sounds
❹ — Have a set of high-quality minimal cards
❺ — Choose between print or digital formats! Our story, familiarization and auditory discrimination tasks give you TWO options!
This was a great addition for the lispers on my caseload!
⭐ How does the Minimal Pairs Toolkit work?
FIRST Read the child-friendly “Snake out of the Cage” story and complete the hands-on learning activities so that your student “clicks” with the phonological rule
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 “snake out of the cage” concepts as cues as you engage in drill-play games using the beautifully illustrated minimal pairs cards.

I love how the story introduces the concept of phonological processes/minimal pairs and puts it in an easy to understand format for young children. I use this as a go to when I am working with students in the early stages of therapy. Not only is the story easy to implement with both digital and print options, but the visual cues are something that I go back to regularly throughout the therapeutic process. Thanks for another great resource!
