I recommend you print on cardstock and laminate for durability.



Description

This articulation picture card set focuses on the contrast between voiceless /th/ and /f/. It would be a great set to use with a child who is substituting voiceless /th/ for /f/ or vice versa. Usually I avoid vocalic /r/ in my card sets, but there are not a lot of these minimal pair contrasts around, so I did include some vocalic /r/ words. There are no consonant blends in this set in order to minimize phonemic complexity.

Key Features

  • This set includes 14 picture cards (7 th/f minimal pairs) with the target word and picture on the front.
  • The words are simple in syllable shape and include no consonant blends.
  • Combines the target sounds with a variety of vowels in order to increase phonemic variety and improve carryover.
