Bjorem Speech® Cycles Intervention: S Clusters Phonology Targets

Description

The Bjorem Speech® Cycles Intervention: S Clusters Phonology Targets is designed not just as a therapeutic tool but as a pathway to significant phonological and communicative advancements. By focusing on S clusters, this deck ensures that children not only improve their speech clarity but also gain confidence in their communication abilities.

Product Features:

• Comprehensive Target Set: The deck includes 45 cards, each containing phonological targets that focus specifically on S clusters, such as /st/, /sp/, /sk/, /sn/, and /sl/. This targeted approach ensures that children receive focused intervention on one of the more challenging aspects of speech production.
• Phonetically Facilitated Context: Each target is strategically selected to provide a context that facilitates easier acquisition of complex phonological forms, enhancing the effectiveness of therapy sessions.
• Engaging Artwork: Designed with vibrant and appealing illustrations, the cards engage children, motivating them to participate actively in therapy sessions and promoting a high number of practice trials.
• Dual Educational Purpose: While primarily aimed at improving speech production, these cards also bolster phonemic awareness, an essential skill for reading development and overall linguistic proficiency.
