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.”
