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? What if you could read your student a story that explains their speech errors in a child-friendly manner (introducing the idea of quiet and noisy sounds), and then pair it with visuals and concepts that you can use to cue your student throughout the therapy process.

Adventures in Speech Pathology does it again! I use this resource almost daily in treatment; it has been a go-to via teletherapy. The story is a great way to break down the concept of voicing/devoicing and the Boom Cards make practicing phonology engaging for the littles. Thank you for creating such wonderful resources! Thank you thank you!

I absolutely love these resources! I use them almost everyday. It’s so handy to have such a great grab and go resource when working on phonology with children. The stories and pictures are all clear and engaging. I have found the stories so beneficial and they have great ‘reminders’ to use with the parents too. After going through the story with children we refer to it in future sessions as a prompt/reminder. The minimal pairs cards are brilliant. I could not recommend this resource more!!! Thank you for yet another amazing resource!!

I have had so much difficulty with voicing for one of my clients. No matter the cueing and elicitation strategies, and with this resource in my past session we got a voiceless production!! I found the My Voicing Story was such a hit! I wish I would have bought this sooner.
