Th-F Fricative Simplification Minimal Pairs Toolkit
$15.55
If you work with children with error pattern Th-F Fricative Simplification 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 exhibit fricative simplification (saying “f” for “th”) such as “free” for “three” and you need high-quality minimal pair cards? What if your students don’t understand what you are asking them to do?
Imagine if you could read your student a story that explains their speech errors in a child-friendly manner (introducing the idea of biting and tickling sounds), and then pair it with visuals and concepts that you can use to cue your student throughout the therapy process.
“I used the resource one time with a kiddo and I got a look of “ah hah” on their face!”
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 fricative simplification 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 “My Biting & Tickling Sounds” 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!
⭐ How does the Minimal Pairs Toolkit work?
FIRST Read the child-friendly “My Biting & Tickling Sounds” 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 “biting” and “tickling” concepts as cues as you engage in drill-play games using the beautifully illustrated minimal pairs cards.

So Helpful!
the th/f substitution is such a hard one for kids to recognize, even when you focus on the physical difference! These cards with pictures that support the words, help kids conceptualize the difference, AND how substitution errors change meaning. This set has really worked well for me!
Review from Teachers Pay Teachers
Anne M. –
Absolutely love!!
This resource has been so helpful for my students working on /th/! I have quite a few students targeting /th/ right now, and having the minimal pairs makes it so much easier to help them understand the difference between their error and the correct production. The story is fantastic, and the visuals and cards are absolutely amazing! Everything is engaging, clear, and easy to use in therapy. I love having a resource that gives me multiple ways to practice the target while keeping students interested and motivated. The minimal pairs approach has been especially helpful for making the sound differences more meaningful rather than just drilling the sound over and over. Such a great resource to have on hand if you are working with students who simplify /th/!
