The idea behind these "new sound" cues is to STOP shaping the "old" sound that the child is lateralizing and to start from scratch with a "new" sound. When a child thinks we're working on /s/ they often go back to lateralizing (or /sh/ & /ch/ if those are the phonemes they're lateralizing), even if they're accurate at the isolation level.... so, Amy Graham has created NEW SOUNDS for /s/, /z/, /ʃ /, / tʃ /, and /dʒ/ .
The Bjorem Speech® Sound Cues Lateralization Deck is a pioneering tool designed to assist children and adults who struggle with lateral lisps and other lateralization speech patterns. Developed with insights from seasoned speech-language pathologists, this deck employs innovative cognitive reframing techniques to transform how users produce and perceive speech sounds, promoting clearer and more effective communication.
Key Features:
- Targeted Speech Intervention: Tailored specifically for individuals who exhibit lateralized speech patterns, impacting the clarity of sibilant sounds such as /s/ and /z/.
- Cognitive Reframing Approach: Utilizes cognitive reframing to help users mentally adjust their understanding and execution of sound production, facilitating the correction of lateralized speech.
- Comprehensive Toolset: Includes a diverse range of cue cards focused on commonly lateralized sounds, such as /s/, /z/, /ʃ/, /tʃ/, and /dʒ/. Each card is equipped with visual and verbal cues.
- Engaging and Educational Visuals:Features vivid and engaging illustrations that not only capture the user’s interest but also visually reinforce correct speech production techniques.
- Evidence-Based Design: Crafted in collaboration with Amy Graham of Graham Speech Therapy, ensuring that the deck is grounded in the latest research and best practices in speech therapy.
-Versatile Usage: Ideal for clinical settings, educational environments, and home use, empowering speech therapists, educators, and family members to effectively support individuals with lateralization issues.
Great for kids 3-12 years with articulation disorder

Bjorem Speech Sound Cluster Cues
Product #55100
Introducing the Bjorem Speech Sound Cluster Cues, an innovative and engaging tool designed to enhance phonological awareness and articulation skills in children. Building on the foundational Bjorem Speech Sound Cues, this set uses the delightful theme of trains to help children visualize and understand the concept of sound clustering in speech.
Key Features:
Themed Visual Cues: Utilizing a train motif, where each train part (engine, carriage, and caboose) represents different cluster positions (initial, medial, and final), this approach makes abstract phonetic concepts tangible and relatable for young learners.
Comprehensive Set: The deck includes 47 train cards that link together to demonstrate various cluster combinations, along with special cards like a gap card to show missing sounds and a schwa card to indicate the addition of a schwa.
Color Coding: Cards are color-coded based on the cluster's position within words, aiding in quick recognition and simplifying the learning process.
Tactile and Visual Accessibility: The cards are crafted with a thick, soft matte texture to reduce glare, making them easy on the eyes for all children, including those with vision impairments.
Contents:
12 initial cluster cue cards (engine cards)
21 combining cluster cue cards (carriage cards)
14 final cluster cue cards (caboose cards)
Each card measures 2.56" x 2.56"
Sturdy storage box measuring 2.95" x 2.95" x 1.69"
Benefits:
Enhanced Speech Clarity: By visualizing how sounds 'hook together' like train cars, children can better understand and articulate sound clusters, leading to clearer speech.
Error Correction: The specialized cards provide immediate visual feedback on common errors such as sound substitution or deletion, empowering children to self-correct.
Engaging Learning Experience: The train theme keeps learning fun and engaging, encouraging continued practice and interaction.
Customer Testimonial: Martha, a speech therapist, shares, "The visuals in this deck are a game changer. One of my kiddos finally got her consonant clusters when she saw the train connected."

Bjorem Better Letters: Educator Edition - Bridging the Phoneme-Grapheme Gap
$223.00
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.
