Bjorem Speech Sound Cues for the Contrast Approaches and Literacy by Carol Koch incorporates cues for teaching new sounds in the initial word position but also how different initial speech sounds to create new and different words. This emphasizes both the motor aspect of speech sound production and the linguistic aspect of how sounds create different words. To accomplish this, this pack of cues contains initial consonant targets and the “rimes” which are the V and VC cues that, when added to the initial targets, create words. The words are used to contrast two or more phonemes featured in minimal pair words/sets.
