The Complete Minimal Pairs Toolkit Bundle for Speech Therapy – BUNDLE

Are you looking for the most comprehensive Minimal Pairs Toolkit available to SLPs? This essential speech therapy bundle will set you up for success to teach and implement the minimal pairs approach with your students.

Containing x12 minimal pairs printable packets, and x12 digital files featuring our signature “phonological pattern stories,” you can feel confident that we have read the research and created an evidence-based bundle for you.

“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. The stories also are really helpful for introducing a new minimal pair for the first time. I love that this resource can be used both digitally and in person!”

Phonological patterns included in this bundle:

• Fronting (uses “Front & Back Sounds” as cues)

• Final Consonant Deletion (uses “Tail Sounds” as cues)

• Stopping (uses “Long & Short Sounds” as cues)

• Gliding (uses “Running & Gliding Sounds” as cues)

• S’ Cluster Reduction (uses “Sound Buddies” as cues)

• Voicing  (uses “Quiet & Noisy Sounds” as cues)

• Initial Consonant Deletion (uses “Starting & Hiding Sounds” as cues)

• Deaffrication (uses “Windy & Exploding Sounds” as cues)

• ‘S’ Cluster Reduction to ‘S’ (uses “Sound Buddies” as cues)

• S-Th Substitution (uses “Snake out of the cage sounds” as cues)

• Th-F Fricative Substitution (uses “Biting & Tickling” as cues)

• L’ Cluster Reduction (uses “Sound Buddies” as cues)

If you have you ever tried minimal pairs therapy and found that your students don’t understand what you are asking them to do, our answer is a fun story that explains their speech patterns in a child-friendly manner (e.g., introducing the idea of “tail sounds” and “sound buddies”), and then pairs it with visuals and concepts that you can use to cue your student throughout the therapy process.

What SLP’s like you are saying:

“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 say enough great things about the minimal pairs bundle. For me, it’s the stories that are the star of this product. In addition though, the cards are well thought out targets that make planning a minimal pairs session so easy!”

“This is one of my most used resources for SSDs. This toolkit sets you up for any pattern you may need to target. The visuals/art on the cards are easy for kids to understand and relate to, and the way it’s organized is easy to store digitally and if you print and laminate. Something in my speech toolkit I cannot go without!”
