Description
Have you ever tried minimal pairs therapy for voicing and found that your students don’t understand what you are asking them to do?

Feedback from SLP’s like you:
“I love this resource for teaching the concept of voicing devoicing. The visual supports are very kid-friendly, there is a great list of minimal pairs, and the book helps explain what is happening in kid-friendly terms.”
“This resource is amazing!!! Absolutely love these visuals to show how we use our voice – my client was able to phonate some sounds and words today – love the social story too.”
“This resource saved me so much time and prep! My kids LOVE it and it totally clicks for them. Got great feedback from a parent that their preschooler was engaged and really understood the lesson via distance learning.”
