This pack, Minimal Pairs – Stopping, is just one of the packs in our Minimal Pairs series. Minimal pairs are pairs of words which differ in only one phonological element, either a consonant or vowel. For example fox/box; stop/top; light/white; pin/pan.
Speech and Language therapists use minimal pairs therapy as an essential element of their practice, to develop a child’s awareness of an error pattern in their speech sound system by highlighting the semantic confusion his/her error can cause.
Each pack in our minimal pairs series focuses on a particular phonological process and provides minimal pairs of that particular process in initial, medial and final position.
This pack focuses on Stopping. It provides a useful resource bank of pictures illustrating common phonological processes which can be used to make a variety of games and activities to supplement therapy in the clinic, at home or at school.
