l clusters, l blends Bundle

Our popular Sound Stories series is designed for children who have difficulties with sound production. Each Sound Stories pack contains two attractive and fully illustrated stories, colouring activities and a series of questions which offer high frequency words, featuring a specific phoneme in initial position.

This pack features /l/clusters sound stories for early speech development.

These fun and easy stories are designed to allow children to practice l cluster sounds and provide a high frequency of targeted speech sounds for focused auditory stimulation and sound production work. Each story includes a colouring activity and a set of questions related to the story to facilitate sound production at a conversational level.

This minimal pairs - cluster reduction, l and r blend pack is useful resource bank of colour pictures illustrating  cluster reduction, l & r blends. Essential resource for working on phonological processes with children up to KS2.

A minimal pair is a pair of words, such as ‘tea’ and ‘key’, or ‘four’ and ‘door’, differing only by one sound in the same position in each word. Minimal
pair therapies are an essential and common method used by speech and language therapists to correct error patterns in the speech development of children.

Minimal pairs can be used to develop games and activities to directly confront the child with the consequences of their error pattern in terms of meaning. For example, if a child says ‘That’s a funny nail’ (when looking at a picture of a snail), the adult may respond ‘A funny nail?? I can’t see a funny nail anywhere ... but I can see a funny snail!’

Speech Sound Worksheets are packs of illustrated resources for children with delayed speech development. Each pack focuses on an individual phoneme in a specific position in words (initial, medial or final) This colourful pack focuses on bl initial:

All of the activities provide multiple opportunities for the adult to model correct production and for the child to correct their own production of words. Thus, the adult uses pictures and activities to prompt the use of the target word/sound.

Speech Sound Worksheets offer a wide range of attractive interactive games and activities which encourage the production of the focus sound through each of the following stages.

• identification of the chosen sound;
• developing discrimination skills so that children become aware of their error patterns;
• correcting the productions through increasingly complex production contexts i.e. individual words; simple phrases; complex sentences;
• generalising the sound into spontaneous conversational speech.

Attractive and easy to use, the worksheets progress from the correct use of the individual sound to single-word production, followed by using these words in simple phrases through to consolidation at the sentence level.

Consonant Clusters: Alliterative Stories and Activities for Phonological Intervention was written and developed by Caroline Bowen and illustrated by Helen Rippon.

Consonant Clusters is intended for use by Speech and Language Therapists/Speech-Language Pathologists (SLTs/SLPs). The resource comprises information about, and resources for, applying a complexity principle to intervention for children who have turned four, and who have moderate or severe phonological difficulties and poorly intelligible speech.

It begins with a clear explanation of the reasoning and research underpinning the pack, followed by information for therapists and families, a Cluster Screener in the form of a Monosyllabic-Word Imitation Task, and 90 pages of carefully thought out Activity Sheets illustrated by Helen Rippon.
