New to Bjorem Speech Publications and not sure where to begin? Welcome! You’re in the right place! Whether you're an SLP (or soon-to-be SLP!), a parent, or an educator, we’re here to walk you through our most popular products and help you find the perfect resources for your unique caseload, classroom, home.
Getting Started with Bjorem Speech Sound Cues® and Better Letters®
If you’re just starting out, the Bjorem Speech Sound Cues (that also come in this big box size) are the best place to begin. It’s okay you might feel overwhelmed at first glance, don’t worry! They’re designed to be intuitive and easy to use. Inside the deck, you’ll find an insert with step-by-step instructions and ideas to get started right away. However, if you are one to want to know exactly what you’re getting and how to use it before you even click “add to cart,” we get it, and we have plenty of videos to help you out:
Watch this video to get an overview of the product: What even are these speech sound cues? Who can use them? What age groups are these for? HOW can you use them to target speech sounds and literacy? We go over it all.
Watch this video to see Jennie Bjorem, the author and the CEO of Bjorem Speech, walk you through each speech sound cue with the corresponding hand cues - (hello multisensory learning!)
Once you're familiar with the sound cues, we recommend checking out the Speech Sound Cue Mini Objects for a hands-on, tactile learning experience that makes therapy even more fun and engaging.
If you’re working with kids who are starting to learn letters and their sounds, you should begin incorporating Better Letters®. For preschoolers and kindergarteners, the Better Letters with the Laurie Berkner Band deck would be an awesome place to start. These are super fun because they go with Laurie Berkner music videos on YouTube, and music (just search Laurie Berkner Better Letters on any music streaming platform) that you can use at home, in speech therapy, or in the classroom for free! In case you want to look further into this product, we have a blog post that goes into more detail.
Think of the Bjorem Speech Sound Cues and the Better Letters products as tools that can grow with your child from 18 months of age all the way through elementary school. Once a child is beginning to learn how to read and spell, the Better Letters Educator Edition will be your next stop. This deck makes teaching those tricky rules a breeze, read a more in-depth explanation on this deck here.
