This resource is a must-have if you treat children with fronting. I’ve used it so much! Often children have achieved the easier words like tea/key, bat/back, but when both their error and contrasting sound appear in the same word they get confused! (dog, tiger, guitar). This resource gives the child allll those cues they need…so they know WHERE in the word to say k/g or t/d. I have found that children have progressed quickly towards generalisation once I introduced these cards!

Rebecca always makes the resources I need but never have the time to make myself! Such a time saver and always high quality, this resource has been perfect for so many of my clients!

This has been such a great addition to my fronting toolkit! I generally find my kids will quickly get k/g words but as soon at the word contains an alveolar, they struggle. I’ve used these cards successfully to focus on drilling those error words one they are confident with ‘k’ and ‘g’. I love that it includes 1, 2 and 3 syllable words as well.

I cannot recommend Rebecca’s resources enough! I work with primarily with children with speech sound disorders and have 13 clients with childhood apraxia of speech. I use these ALL the time when supporting a child with velar fronting or a motoric aspect (CAS) as the reason for their /k/ and /g/ difficulties. My clients with CAS struggle with words that have a k/g and d/t in them. I have even used them with a client with CAS who was voicing /t/ to /d/ but could now discriminate and produce so I moved them to these activities, worked a treat! I love the visuals and the handouts for parents to take home. Rebecca’s resource has saved me SO much time in the clinic. I have used the activities with severe SSD all the way to mild SSD.

My student loved this resource! The visuals really made a difference for positioning of the mouth, and the easy print and go format was just what I needed!

This is a great resource for those kids who need to take their velar (or alveolar) production to the next level. Lots of variety here, and the colour/black&white options are nice.

The mouth visuals in this resource has been incredibly helpful for my students who are working on tricky words with both a front and a back sound.
Sarah Z. (verified owner) –
My students love this resource! I found it so difficult to find engaging materials for velar fronting. This one has great visuals.
Kat G. (verified owner) –
This was great for a student doing do well with his /k/ and /g/ unless there was a /t/ or /d/ in the word. This let us do mass practice on those tricky words.
Ashley W. (verified owner) –
This was an excellent resource to help my students who assimilate velars. The visuals are very helpful for my students. Thank you!
Lindsay Haumschild (verified owner) –
Thank you for creating this, Rebecca!! This product helped one of my 5 year old clients move into the generalization stage of /k/ and/g/ by practicing these trickier words. I’m a huge fan of this and all your products — the sentence sheets are awesome and work really well for at home carry-over. 🙏🏽

This material has been a great addition to my articulation sessions. It’s clear, engaging, and easy to use, with visuals that hold students’ attention. I like that it includes a variety of target sounds in multiple positions, allowing for flexibility across different levels of therapy. It works well for both drill practice and more functional carryover activities. A simple, effective resource I’d recommend to other SLPs.
Laura A. (verified owner) –
This resource is exactly what I needed for my speech sessions! It’s well-organized, engaging, and easy to implement with minimal prep. My students were motivated and responded really well to the activities. Thank you for creating such a helpful and effective tool!

This packet is so well-organized with excellent target selection to address velar sounds. Great home practice sheets that are easy to print and stick in backpacks to get parent support. Great resource!
Elizabeth Dooley (verified owner) –
This is a product I have always dreamt of making and have sort of cobbled together on my own but now that I have this I don’t need to! It is super effective and has remediated all of my kids’ errors who struggle with this.

Adventures in Speech Pathology always makes beautiful, evidence-based products. I have another product in my cart as I write this. Thank you!
KAYLA D. (verified owner) –
This was a perfect resource for my students that are fronting but only in specific contexts. I loved being able to send these home to parents as well. Fantastic resource!
Kristin S. (verified owner) –
This resource was a game changer for my students who were struggling to generalize ‘k’ and ‘g’ into their connected speech. Using this resource to increase the complexity of the target words was exactly what my students needed in order to break through the generalization barrier. I highly recommend!
Jamie B. (verified owner) –
Once again, Rebecca has thought of everything! This is a MUST HAVE resource if you have students who can now say the /k/ or /g/ sound, but struggle saying those sounds when a /t/ or /d/ is in the word. Her visuals are great, and they really help my students understand when to say what sound. Thank you!
Eiliana H. (verified owner) –
I love all the mouth visuals and the presentation of this resource.
Macie R. (verified owner) –
This is such a great resource! The visuals are great and such an easy thing to provide to families for home exercise programs.
