What’s New About the 2nd Edition Bjorem Speech Sound Cues?

At Bjorem Speech®, we are always looking for ways to enhance the tools we provide to speech-language pathologists (SLPs), educators, and families. That’s why we are thrilled to introduce the 2nd Edition Bjorem Speech Sound Cues! Designed to be even more intuitive, functional, and research-driven, this updated edition builds on the foundation of our original sound cues while incorporating valuable feedback from our users and the latest advancements in speech therapy practices. Developed by apraxia expert Jennie Bjorem, this enhanced edition captivates children by connecting abstract speech sounds to vibrant, relatable visuals they’ll love. Perfect for play-based therapy, classrooms, and beyond, these cues are designed to foster confidence and clarity in communication. These cues are suitable for all ages and can be used in preschool classrooms, therapy sessions, and reading programs, making it an indispensable resource for professionals and families.

Here’s a closer look at what’s new:

1. 7 Brand-New Cues

The 2nd Edition introduces seven exciting new sound cues to expand your therapy toolkit. These fresh additions are fun, engaging, and designed to address a broader range of speech goals. Say hello to:

  • Cute Kitty Sound

  • Lazy Koala Sound (Australian Schwa)

  • Bug Sound 

  • Zombie Sound

  • Motorcycle Sound

  • Bulldog Sound

  • Intrusive Schwa Monster

Each of these cues adds variety to therapy and enhances your ability to target specific sounds with creative, kid-friendly visuals.

2. Interactive Cue-Tip™ Cards

We’ve completely redesigned the backs of every card to include an interactive Cue-Tip™, making it easier than ever to use these cues in therapy, classrooms, or at home. These tips are filled with helpful ideas and strategies to reinforce learning and practice.

Never again will you have to question:

"how do I present this to the child? What do I say? Am I even saying this right?"

We created the Cue-Tip™ to fix this!

 

3. Improved Box Design with Dividers

Organizing your cues is now a breeze! The 2nd Edition features a vibrant new box design complete with dividers to help you separate and categorize your sound cards. This thoughtful addition keeps everything neat, accessible, and ready for action during therapy sessions.


4. More Creative Support for Home, Classroom, and Therapy Use

The 2nd Edition includes an informational booklet that is packed with even more resources and ideas to inspire how you use these sound cues.
