Description
Minimal pairs therapy is one of the oldest and well-known phonological interventions. This comprehensive packet contains visual and metaphonological cues in the form of a child-friendly story to make “teaching the rule” easier to understand for children.
✅– This COMPLETE bundle contains ‘toolkits’ for TWELVE the most commonly seen phonological patterns. You will get 12 toolkits for the price of 10 in this money-saving bundle that combines the original Minimal Pairs Toolkit and the Minimal Pairs Toolkit for Less Common Patterns.
The resource also contains minimal pair cards (an essential for implementing this approach!) that pair with the visuals and concepts to cue your student throughout the therapy process.
DOWNLOAD this toolkit if you want to:
➊ — Understand the steps in minimal pairs therapy
➋ — Complete familiarization and auditory discrimination tasks in a print or digital format
➌ — Get a list of multisensory activity ideas to help teach the concepts
➍ — Have a set of high-quality minimal pair cards
➎ — Use the print or digital stories to introduce the phonological cues
➏ — Evidence-based information about minimal pairs therapy
⭐This resource is intended to be the STARTING PLACE for minimal pairs therapy.⭐
FIRST Introduce the concept (e.g., that there are “front and back sounds” or “sound buddies”) by reading the child-friendly stories and completing some of the hands-on learning activities.
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 concepts as cues as you engage in drill-play games using the beautifully illustrated minimal pairs cards.

- Fronting (uses “Front & Back Sounds” as cues)
- Final Consonant Deletion (uses “Tail Sounds” as cues)

❝ I love the stories – it is such a great way to explain and introduce the concepts. Amazing to have the visuals for the minimal pairs!!❞
❝ I can’t write a positive enough review for this resource! I use it with sooo many preschoolers on my caseload. The pictures are so appealing, and really help engage the students.

Love it! Very easy to use, great range of images. Suitable for a range of ages and the kids have fun with all the different ways the cards can be used

What would I do without this resource? It is simply amazing! I use it every single day without fail! It is just so versatile, I can pair it with so many games and play-based activities, or give specific targets for homework. I usually use it with my primary-aged students, however, I have used it with some older students with learning difficulties/disabilities when they have wanted support with their speech. I love the variety of processes it contains from common to less familiar. Thank you!

Truly the best material I have ever bought! It is an amazing resource that helps not only children but their parents understand their phonological process errors. The books are amazing and you can do so much with the given minimal pair cards. TOTALLY WORTH IT!

These Toolkits are incredible. They’re huge time savers, and I love the consistency between the images, ideas, and activities. Absolute must-have for all therapists working with SSDs!!

As an SLP who has just started working with young kids again, I love that this resource significantly reduced the time I would’ve spent to prepare materials for my sessions. I also like the activity suggestions and cue cards. Kudos for including some pictures that were racially inclusive. Thank you for creating this!

I LOVE these. The kids have so much fun keeping track of points of how many they can get vs how many I can get which allows me to work on auditory discrimination along with their productions

Everything in this bundle is super useful and engaging. The stories alone make this bundle worth it. I used the gliding story with a 4th grader and thought it might be a little young for him but…he grasped the concept so quickly! We were both so happy and he was all smiles leaving my room.

I love this resource, has reduced my prep time, the kids engage well with the visuals and can easily understand the metaphors. Is one of my go to resources!
Schuyler P. (verified owner) –
This is a great and very thorough resource! My students enjoy the stories and accompanying activities. It takes a bit of time to prep but it is well worth it.
Allison B. (verified owner) –
FANTASTIC resource for all phonological processes!
Annie Z. (verified owner) –
This is an amazing toolkit for getting all of your minimal pairs organized and easily accessible to you! It takes time to prep at first but once it is ready, it’s super easy to grab a set of cards and go for a session. The black and white and color printing options are great and I like the stories that go along with them to help the students understand the process they are working on. Overall, definitely a worthwhile investment!

The best minimal pairs bundle! Love her resources. The pictures, bright colors and age-appropriate target words are well thought out. I use this resource frequently!
