Evidence-Based Methodology: Embraces the complexity approach, which prioritizes the treatment of later-developing sounds and clusters, proving more effective than traditional sequential phonological therapy. Principles of Markedness and Sonority Difference: Utilizes two fundamental principles to drive phonological development: Markedness: Targets marked (more complex) sound classes to facilitate improvements in simpler, unmarked sound classes, enhancing overall speech clarity without direct intervention on each sound error. Sonority Difference: Employs a calculated approach by analyzing the sonority (relative loudness) of each sound in a cluster, aiding in the selection of targets that provide the most significant therapeutic impact. Benefits of Using This Bundle: Streamlined Phonological Improvement: By focusing on complex sound clusters, this approach accelerates phonological development, broadening and deepening the impact on the child’s speech system. Engaging and Effective: Each card is crafted to captivate children's interest, promoting active engagement and a high number of practice trials, essential for mastering complex phonological patterns. Versatile Application: Ideal for a variety of therapeutic settings, including clinics, schools, and home practice, making it a flexible tool for any speech-language pathologist’s toolkit.

2-Element Clusters for the Complexity Approach Deck 2 Purchase the 2-3 Element Cluster Bundle for a Discount Product #60103 Complexity Approach Two Element Clusters Deck #2: Navigating Clusters with a Sonority Difference of 4Dive deeper into the intricacies of speech therapy with our Complexity Approach Two Element Clusters Deck #2. This specialized deck is designed for speech therapists, educators, and parents committed to advancing the phonological skills of children with phonological disorders. It focuses on 2-element cluster targets with a nuanced sonority difference of 4, including 9 target words per cluster, featuring complex targets in the initial word position such as /sw/, /bl/, /gl/, /bɹ/, /dɹ/, and /gɹ/.Elevating Speech Therapy through the Complexity Approach:Based on the foundational work of Gierut (2001), the complexity approach is an evidence-based intervention strategy that has significantly impacted the field of speech therapy. It shifts the traditional focus from sequential, developmental sound error correction to prioritizing the treatment of later-developing, complex sounds and clusters. This approach is proven to facilitate broader and more efficient improvements in children's speech systems.Key Principles Underpinning the Complexity Approach:- Markedness: This principle differentiates sounds into *marked* (complex) and *unmarked* (simple) categories. Focusing therapy on *marked* sound classes helps children not only master these challenging sounds but also enhances their proficiency in producing *unmarked* sounds. This efficient strategy bypasses the need for direct treatment of each sound error, promoting faster overall speech development.- Sonority Difference: This approach involves analyzing and assigning numerical values to the sonority (relative loudness) of sounds within 2-element clusters, facilitating the calculation of sonority differences. For instance, the sonority gap in clusters like /sl/ is less significant than in more complex clusters such as /pɹ/, guiding the selection of targets for therapeutic intervention.About Complexity Approach Two Element Clusters Deck #2:Complexity Approach Two Element Clusters Deck #2 is a thoughtfully curated resource that supports the practical application of these principles. Each card in the deck is designed to challenge and engage children with phonological disorders through focused work on clusters with a sonority difference of 4. This selection includes clusters that are critical for mastering complex phonological patterns and facilitating significant speech system improvements.Perfect for therapy sessions, educational environments, or home practice, this deck is an essential tool for those looking to implement the complexity approach in phonological intervention. It provides a structured and effective pathway for addressing complex clusters, enhancing the impact of speech therapy, and supporting children’s journey toward clearer, more effective communication.Unlock the full potential of the complexity approach with our Two Element Clusters Deck #2. Empower your practice and make a lasting difference in the lives of children with phonological disorders by focusing on strategic, evidence-based intervention.

Bjorem Better Letters: Educator Edition - Bridging the Phoneme-Grapheme Gap Bjorem Better Letters: Educator Edition - Bridging the Phoneme-Grapheme Gap
Bjorem Better Letters: Educator Edition - Bridging the Phoneme-Grapheme Gap $239.00
Coming Fall 2024... You asked, and we delivered! For years, educators have been requesting a more comprehensive product that includes letters alongside the original Bjorem Speech Sound Cues by Jennie Bjorem, M.A., CCC-SLP. We are excited to announce the upcoming release of the Bjorem Better Letters® Educator Edition. The Better Letters™ Educator Edition from Bjorem Speech® is an essential toolkit designed specifically for educators to enhance the teaching of reading, spelling, and phonemic awareness. This comprehensive set includes 260 cards, featuring a blend of cue cards, uppercase alphabet cards, and lowercase alphabet cards, making it a versatile resource for instruction and intervention. This innovative tool is designed to demystify the spelling and reading rules that educators know but often find difficult to explain. For instance, did you know that the letters "ck" produce the "k" sound immediately after a short vowel in a one-syllable word? Or that the vowel team "ay" makes the long "a" sound at the end of a consonant, while "ai" does so at the beginning or middle of a consonant? And did you know that the digraph "ch" can make three different sounds? The Better Letters® Educator Edition is crafted to make learning the rules of English less intimidating and more accessible for parents, teachers, tutors, and SLPs. Children need explicit instruction when learning to read and spell, and this deck goes beyond basic phonics rules to help educators teach a variety of reading and spelling rules. It can be used for assessment, documenting progress, and as a tool in reading instruction and intervention. Designed by children's literacy and speech sound specialist Dr. Kelly Farquharson, PhD, CCC-SLP, and literacy specialist Lauren Kline, M.S., CCC-SLP, A/OGA, these beautifully illustrated, double-sided cards provide clear visual cues without obstructing letter formation. This ensures that students can easily see the letters without being distracted by the illustrations. The cards include both SLP and teacher-friendly terminology and are categorized to help students learn not only the graphemes but also their corresponding categories, such as six syllable types, consonants, digraphs, short/long vowels, and silent letters. The intuitive environmental associations of the sound cues help anchor abstract concepts to tangible rules, eliminating the need for lengthy explanations or booklets. With the Bjorem Better Letters® Educator Edition, teaching the phoneme-grapheme correspondence becomes straightforward and engaging, making it an invaluable resource for educators and speech-language pathologists alike. Stay tuned for the launch and prepare to enhance your reading and spelling instruction with this comprehensive and user-friendly tool. -26 front/back capital/lower case alphabet cards used to assess alphabet letter names -137 Better Letters Cards in various categories including: consonants, short vowels in closed syllables, long vowels in open syllables, long vowels in silent-e syllables, r-controlled vowels, digraphs, trigraphs, quadgraphs, silent letters. -2 front/back randomized alphabet identification cards for assessing receptive and/or expressive letter knowledge -95 front/back letter cards used to assess letter/sound knowledge Great for instruction, intervention, and progress monitoring!
