Real-life pictures for your Minimal Pair targets for meaningful speech therapy! Prep these minimal pair cards once... and use FOREVER (or simply open them on your tablet!). Great for ALL your phonological processes goals!
Minimal pairs is a research based method for teaching students to discriminate sounds receptively and expressively. The use of minimal pairs helps the student understand how, by changing sounds, this will result in changes in word meaning that impacts communication.
****This is a GROWING BUNDLE - meaning that future phonological processes will be added to the bundle for free (the price will go up as each process is added until all are complete). You will download the new addition when added. Please Note: This is the lowest price this bundle will ever be.****
⭐️What is a minimal pair?
Pairs of words that differ by one phoneme (e.g. his – hit, fan – pan) which alters the meaning of the word. This is referred to as a “minimal pair” (Barlow & Gierut, 2002).
⭐️How do I store these minimal pair cards? Laminate and cut your cards. Grab these rainbow task boxes to store them in and take along with you. I like to use one task box for each different stopping pair! Labels and word lists included for EASY organization.
