I recommend you print on cardstock and laminate for durability.

Description

This articulation picture card set focuses on the contrast between initial /t/ and initial /k/. It would be a great set to use with a child who is using fronting or backing phonological processes or a child who is simply substituting /t/ for /k/ or vice versa. The words are all CV or CVC in syllable shapes and do not include vocalic /r/ sounds or consonant blends. The pictures are as simple as possible and should be accessible to young children with some teaching.

Key Features

• This set includes 32 picture cards (16 t/k minimal pairs) with the target word and picture on the front.
• The words are all CV or CVC in syllable shape.
• The words are easily understood by or easily taught to young children.
• Combines the target sounds with all possible vowel sounds at least once.
