Thank you so much for this review, Deborah! So glad to hear they are such a hit for you and your students!
I could not be happier with the big box of speech sound cues! They are such a great tool to have as a speech therapist. You will not regret this purchase!!

Hi LaRita, We always appreciate feedback. The zombie is "extra" it represents /k/ when you are trying to facilitate, it was actually one of my clients that came up with it and helped design it. The great thing is that /k/ is also represented by coughing camel, so you can set Zombie aside for young kids. But, if you ever get a chance to use it, it really helps (it is a rougher throat /k/).

Hi Sheila!
What a thoughtful gift! We love hearing that your graduate intern was so excited to receive it. Thank you for sharing this with us!
These cards are magic. I’m not sure why, but THESE are what made my 2 year old start forming real words, not just word approximations. These have also helped him compete words too (which is a big deal). Highly recommend if nothing is seeming to work for your kiddos speech delay.
These cards really help the student's remember what sound they are working on. I like to place the card in front of them during artic trials as a fun reminder.
Thank you so much for the Graduate Starter Kit! Your cards are very high quality, and I love the colorful illustrations! I look forward to using them next school year!
Super! I see why you are so successful with these. I bought a deck for a child who struggles hearing sounds. The visuals were a great tool for him! He loves the pictures.
Store owner replied:
That is great to hear, Marcus!
Love love love this product! There are so many uses including using the cards to blend sounds, articulation placement, and spelling. I am using them with the Complexity Approach and I am seeing progress in a short time. The pictures are fabulous, colorful, and kid friendly!

That is wonderful to hear, Janet! Thank you!
As a pediatric SLP with a strong passion for making speech therapy fun, functional, and effective, I cannot say enough good things about the Bjorem Speech Sound Cues. These cards have been a total game-changer in my therapy sessions!
The visuals are developmentally appropriate, engaging, and actually make sense to kids. I love how each cue gives a clear, consistent anchor for speech sound production—whether we’re working on initial sound acquisition or carryover. They’re especially helpful for my kids with childhood apraxia of speech or phonological processing issues—those visual supports make all the difference!
What sets Bjorem cards apart is how intuitive they are—not just for the therapist, but for parents and teachers, too. I’ve had so much success using them in home programs. Families find them easy to understand and are more confident supporting speech practice at home.
They're beautifully designed, high quality, and so thoughtfully created by someone who clearly understands what SLPs need. I recommend them to every colleague and have gifted sets to new grads because I think they should be part of every SLP’s starter kit.

Thank you so much for your very thoughtful review. We are so glad you love them as much as we do, Sarah!!
The first day I received these, I was using them in my sessions. They are fabulous and give great verbal cues to help my preschoolers with learning to produce the sounds!
The larger size is easier to see when sharing with a group. The icons are the same as on the small cards. My students love using them and the pictures sometimes elicit the sounds better than the graphemes.
Store owner replied:
Thank you Corrin! We love that!
I love having the big cards with my preschoolers. I had the first edition of cards and I loved them and I love this new edition even more. I love the new pictures and additional sounds included. I think using these cards have really helped kids better grasp phonemic awareness. which is a crucial building block to reading.
