Initial Minimal Pair Rhymes: Free Speech Therapy Articulation Picture Cards

Description

This articulation card set is designed to be an extension of my single-syllable cards sets. The words are all CV or CVC in syllable shape and include no blends or vocalic /r/ sounds. This is a speech exercise of minimal pairs rhymes contrasting the initial early-emerging consonant sounds. The target audience for these cards are children with severe speech delays who need exposure to a minimal pair technique to emphasize that they need to differentiate production of two different words. Move to these exercises to add complexity and increase generalization after the child has achieved good accuracy with single word, single word repetitions, and simple alternating single words with these phonemes.(Scroll down to preview set.)

Key Features

  • This set includes 12 therapy cards sequenced so that they form minimal pair rhymes.
  • The words are CV or CVC in syllable shape.
  • The words feature early emerging consonants.
  • The words are simple and are easily understood by or easily taught to young children.
