Love love love the speech sound cues for targets that involve CV or VC! They are so intuitive and children love these. I use them alongside the mini’s and the therapy becomes more of interactive and fun for the children.
Store owner replied:
Thank you, Halima! We love hearing how you're using the Speech Sound Cues alongside the Minis to make therapy more interactive and engaging. It's wonderful to know your students are connecting with the cues and enjoying the activities. We truly appreciate your support and are so glad the resources are making a difference in your sessions!
We used them today as part of our executive function activities targeting working memory.
Store owner replied:
How fun to hear these were incorporated into executive function activities, Fabby! We love seeing the Speech Sound Cues used in creative ways beyond traditional speech sound practice. It’s wonderful to know they supported your work on working memory while keeping students engaged.
Bjorem speech products are a staple in our home speech therapy. If I could have them all, I would! The Sound cue cards are so fun, and when paired with minis- extraordinary! I’m a Boppy determined to help my grandson succeed. Bjorem speech is helping me have the confidence to do just that.

From day one these have been so helpful for many of my students! The kids love the pictures too! Now that I have a picture for each sound in the word my CAS clients have made so much progress.
I purchased the smaller sized set and they have been worth the investment. The images are engaging and I appreciate the elicitation prompts on the backs of the cards.
I love these cards! They have helped me with many of my articulation and phonological kiddos. They have helped with kids ages 2 to 9. The pictures are visually appealing to the kids, much better visual cue than “look at me!” So glad I purchased these!
These visual cues have been a big time game changer in my therapy. Great investment, well worth the money! My only suggestion to the developers is that I wish they were color coded by place and manner.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for the review, Alison!
I use the speech sound cue deck every single day with most of my students. They love when we find new ways to incorporate the cards into activities and even help brainstorm. We recently used the cards to demonstrate that voiceless consonants in S-blends actually make a voiced consonant sound. Their minds were blown and they wanted to test it out on words they knew. I love this deck!
Store owner replied:
Yes, Dana!!! This is incredible! Thank you for sharing the picture to go with your review!
LOVE THESE!!! I use these cards with all of my articulation kids—they love the pictures, which makes their target sound memorable and fun! In my picture, I use these cue cards as visual cues for minimal pairs too :)
Store owner replied:
Love this picture! Thanks so much for sharing your review, Michelle!
I love my box of cue cards. This box was purchased for my niece, who graduated in May with her Masters. She is beginning her career in a pediatric clinic .
Store owner replied:
So happy to hear this, Kenia! Thank you so much for your review and for spreading the word about our products! We really appreciate it!
I've been borrowing these cards from a co-worker for a year and finally decided to get my own. It's so worth having my own personal deck. My kids love these and even better, the parents do too and it motivates them to work on activities at home!

Store owner replied:
What an awesome video, Gianna! Thanks so much for sharing! Nothing better than having your very own deck!
The students love the illustrations and I appreciate a visual for each sound. I use the pictures accompanied by "I can" statement to remind them of what they're working on in speech.
Store owner replied:
We love this idea! Thank you for including a picture! We appreciate your review, Eileen!
My kids just love these and so do I! The pictures are cute and relatable. It is my most used therapy tool. This particular client wanted to look through the whole deck and produce the corresponding sounds. It was the easiest, no prep session I’ve ever had!
Store owner replied:
Wow, Dorothy! Sounds like an awesome session! We so appreciate this feedback and are glad to hear these are such a hit in your therapy room!
I use Bjorem sound cue cards every single day in my sessions. Vibrant colors and catchy names are a huge hit with the kids, and keep (most of them!) engaged. Retention of the sound cue to sound has been impressively remarkable between sessions. I keep the cards organized in a binder in leftover ‘trading card page protectors’ I found from back when my now 19-year old son collected hockey cards. (Who knew how useful those would later be??!) I’m able to keep cards organized and at the ready. I also use painters tape to stick them to a laminated sheet so I’m able to hold up multiple cards as needed, right up to my face for max cueing. They’ve been a huge asset to my therapy sessions. Worth every Penny!
Store owner replied:
Debbie, we love to hear this! Thank you for taking the time to add your experience and photo! We love the idea of using the hockey card organizer!
Great quality. As with previously purchased items, these will be part of a regular rotation.
Store owner replied:

Store owner replied:

Store owner replied:
Katie, thank you for the lovely review! We’re so glad you’re enjoying the Speech Sound Cues and their illustrations. We put a lot of thought into making the visuals engaging and memorable, so it’s wonderful to hear that they stood out to you!
I love these sound cue cards! I use them everyday, keeping them handy to support multimodal cueing for apraxia, phonological and articulation therapy. As my kids move up the cueing hierarchy, these are so helpful for nonverbal cueing! Love them! Can't wait to discover more ways to use.
Store owner replied:
Sarah, thank you so much for sharing this! We love hearing how you use the Bjorem Speech Sound Cues® to support multimodal cueing and nonverbal cueing across different areas of speech therapy. It sounds like they have become a valuable part of your everyday practice! We truly appreciate your kind words and are so glad you’re loving them. ❤️
It’s a great product just a bit too expensive I feel
Store owner replied:
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback, Sarah. We are glad to hear you are enjoying the Speech Sound Cues and appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. We understand that budgets are an important consideration and are grateful for your support of our resources.
I absolutely love the Bjorem speech sound deck. I've been able to use it with littles and even older children to help them conceptualise the target sound. Very versatile!

Store owner replied:
Thank you for your patience, Sarah! We are so glad we were able to help resolve the issue with your order. We truly appreciate your support and hope you enjoy using your Bjorem Speech Sound Cues!
Love these cards for so many different uses in speech therapy!
Store owner replied:
Felicia, thank you so much for sharing this! We are really happy to hear the cards are working well for so many different uses in your speech therapy sessions.
I worried about the size when these cards first came. They are huge! I had the small cards first and have found that the larger size is better at immediately grabbing the attention of my younger early intervention clients. I struggled at first keeping them in order, or quickly finding the card I need. I finally bought plastic post-it flag/tabs and labeled the top of the cards with the IPA symbol for a quicker grab and cleanup. LOVE LOVE LOVE this deck and the size.
Store owner replied:
Rebecca, thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We are really happy to hear the larger size has been so effective for grabbing the attention of your early intervention clients. It is also great to hear how you adapted organization with the tabs and IPA labels, that is such a creative system for quick access and cleanup. We are so glad you are loving the deck!
Box was in good conditions but, all of my cards are also dent. My package also arrived really late.
Store owner replied:
What a compliment, Cindy! Hearing the Speech Sound Cues described as an essential means so much to us. We’re honored to be part of your therapy toolkit and grateful for your support of Bjorem Speech.
I am in school to become a SLPA. We have watched many videos that feature these sound cards. I am excited to begin using them with clients soon!
Store owner replied:
How exciting, Cecily! We’re honored that the Speech Sound Cues have been part of your training, and we love hearing that you’ll soon be using them with clients. Wishing you all the best as you continue your SLPA journey. We hope these cards become a favorite tool in your future therapy sessions!
Store owner replied:
Thank you, Michelle! We’re so happy you’re loving the updated cues. It’s great to hear they’re working well for you and your students, and we really appreciate you sharing your feedback with us!
Very helpful to use with my students who need those visual reminders/cues for which sound is which!
Store owner replied:
Thank you, Hannah! We’re so glad the Speech Sound Cues are helping support your students with those important visual reminders. It’s wonderful to hear they’ve been a helpful tool in your sessions, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
My son is in speech therapy. The therapist started using these cards and I could immediately see how useful they were. They’ve helped him so so much so I purchased them for homeschool use.
Store owner replied:
Hi April, thank you so much for sharing this! 😊 We’re really happy to hear the cards have been so helpful for your son and that you were able to see their impact right away through therapy. It’s wonderful that you’re now using them for homeschool as well!
