In under 10 minutes, you can create a fully personalized deck that targets speech sounds, phonological processes, or articulation challenges, tailored to the specific needs of each child.

You can tailor your approach to every child's learning needs by choosing from two card deck methods:

Ideal for building foundational speech and literacy skills, this approach focuses on phonemes, wordlists, and structured practice. You can choose to display either phonic/sound cues or word lists, depending on your specific teaching goals. This approach helps:

🔹 Strengthen phonemic awareness and sound recognition

🔹 Reinforce sound production with visual and auditory cues
🔹 Enhance auditory discrimination to differentiate similar sounds
🔹 Develop language skills and boost comprehension and expression

💡 Example Deck: Sound Cues cards focusing on vowel and consonant articulation using child-friendly, engaging visual cues.

Designed for targeted intervention in speech challenges, this approach applies four evidence-based strategies to enhance articulation and speech clarity. Each deck is tailored to match the selected strategy, ensuring focused and effective practice. The four strategies include:

🔹 Minimal pairs for voicing distinctions
🔹 Coarticulation for smoother sound transitions
🔹 Facilitative contexts for accurate articulation
🔹 Complexity approach for generalization of untreated sounds

💡 Example Deck: Minimal Pairs cards targeting vowel length contrasts (e.g., Ship/Sheep) and liquid sound contrasts (e.g., Light/Right).

Once you select your card style, you can fine-tune the deck to match the child’s learning goals and ensure a personalized, engaging, and effective experience.
