Description: This interactive Boom Card deck targets seven of the most commonly errored minimal pair patterns in speech therapy: /t/ vs. /k/ /d/ vs. /g/ /s/ vs. /θ/ /f/ vs. /θ/ /s/ vs. /ʃ/ /w/ vs. /r/ final consonant deletion Each minimal pair includes targets in both initial and final positions, with the exception of final consonant deletion, which features only final position contrasts. Each card presents a pair of minimal pair words and includes a built-in system for students to say each word three times, with checkboxes provided to track repetitions. This resource is ideal for early intervention and elementary-aged students working on phonological processes or articulation and is suitable for use by speech-language pathologists in teletherapy, in-person sessions, or for at-home practice. The clear visuals and consistent structure help build phonemic awareness, sound discrimination, and production skills in an engaging and easy-to-use format.
