Bjorem & Best Practices

At Bjorem, it’s important to us that our speech and literacy therapy materials are rooted in research and best practices. We thoughtfully align our product decisions with evidence-based approaches so you can feel confident in what you’re using. This page highlights the studies behind our most-used methods, and we’re always adding more, so check back often to stay informed and inspired.

Our Commitment to Evidence-Based Practice

Every product we create is grounded in research and guided by real-world clinical experience. By combining science with creativity, we design tools that are effective, practical, and engaging for both children and professionals.

Research Behind Our Methods

From speech sound development to literacy instruction, our materials are informed by well-established methods supported in the field:

• Minimal Pairs – for addressing phonological processes and error patterns.

• Cycles Approach – for targeting multiple sound patterns over time.

• Complexity Approach – for accelerating speech sound learning by introducing complex targets first.

• DTTC (Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing) – for supporting motor speech disorders such as Childhood Apraxia of Speech.

• Facilitative Contexts – for building accuracy through helpful sound environments.

Each method we highlight is paired with the research that supports its effectiveness.

Literacy Approaches That Work

Our literacy tools are built on approaches that emphasize phonological awareness, decoding, and fluency. Research supports these as essential building blocks for reading success, and our products make them easy to integrate into therapy, classrooms, or at-home practice.

Research in Action

We don’t just reference research, we translate it into practical tools. Each deck, card set, and literacy product is thoughtfully designed so you can implement evidence-based strategies without spending hours creating your own materials.

Always Growing

The field of speech-language pathology and literacy instruction is always evolving, and so are we. As new studies emerge, we continue to refine, expand, and innovate, ensuring that Bjorem Speech & Literacy resources stay relevant, effective, and aligned with best practices.
