Phonological Processes for Speech Therapy


I’m so excited for Up, Up, & Away Phonology!  The general concept might look familiar…I have sets for Up, Up, & Away Articulation, as well as Up, Up, & Away Language.  I really love these because it is easy “grab & go” therapy materials.  The colors are bright and engaging, my kids love it!  Plus, you don’t need dice…need I say more?!  So we dive into phonological processes, I included the 5 most popular responses I got on the FB poll:  Final Consonant Deletion, Stopping, Weak Syllable Reduction, Fronting, and Consonant Cluster Reduction.

Crazy Speech World: Phonology game!-Final consonant deletion cards include 35 minimal pairs, with words and pictures.

Crazy Speech World: Phonology game!-Fronting cards include 35 minimal pairs to target /k, g, sh, ch/…although the majority are /k, g/.  Both initial and final positions are used.  Each card has words with pictures.
IMG_1886-Stopping cards include 35 minimal pairs to target /f, s, sh, ch, j, v/ in the initial position with words and pictures

Crazy Speech World: Phonology game!
-Cluster reduction includes 35 minimal pairs to target /s, r, l/ blends in the initial position of words with words and pictures.
Crazy Speech World: Phonology game!-Multisyllabic words includes 47 cards to work on 2, 3, and 4 syllable words.  Each card has one picture and one word.

As requested by some of you, I have made these available in my TPT store two ways…you can download the entire collection OR the separate processes that you need for your caseload.  Of course, if you buy the bundled set, you will save…it’s like getting one of the decks for free.  The pricing on the bundle is a little higher than anything else I sell, and I am sure I will get some questions about that.  First, this took an incredible amount of effort to create.  I had to look up and download each and every picture, plus I have to maintain graphics licensure to share the pictures.  I hope that you understand and find that it is worth it!  I tried to give you guys exactly what you wanted, plus this is something that you can use year round, for years to come 🙂  I know I can’t wait to use it with my students!  Click on the links below to find what you need in my store:

    This looks great Jenn! I can definitely tell they took a lot of work-pairing each sound with a picture! I’ve placed it on my wish list and hope to purchase before Christmas (as a little gift to myself!)

    How have I only just come across your resources?! They are AMAZING! It takes to long to make these kind of things and it’s so great you are willing to share them, thank you so much… You’ve saved me hours of future work!

    This looks great! I can’t wait to use it but it won’t print out. I downloaded it without a problem and am able to print out other PDFs. Once I hit “print” the screen changes from a view of the materials to a black screen with a sad face on a puzzle piece. Any suggestions?

    • Jenn says

      Yikes, Lynda! I’m sorry! Please contact TPT tech support on the website, they are there to help you with these kinds of issues.

        Thanks for your response. I tried again the next day and it worked.

My goal is simple. I want to provide you with helpful resources to engage your students in quality & creative therapy sessions

Meet Blob (NOT Bob)… and I’m here to tell you Meet Blob (NOT Bob)… and I’m here to tell you that you need this one in your therapy sessions.
Blob is a creature that can morph into anything and he does!  But someone keeps calling him Bob instead of by his name, which is frustrating for him. Finally he decides to just be himself, and he also stands up for himself to be called the correct name.
This one has all kinds of important lessons, and I think the name piece is super important for kids. Every child deserves to be called by their name and correctly. It’s a perfect beginning of the year book!
This book would also be great for: 
⚪️perspective taking
⚪️Targeting /b/ or /l/ clusters
⚪️Describing the different things Blob turns into
⚪️Compare and contrast
⚪️Discussing children’s interests and what they can be
⚪️Making decisions

What Will You Be? by Yamile Saied Medez and Kate A What Will You Be? by Yamile Saied Medez and Kate Alizadeh is such a wonderful story about a young girl and her abuela, dreaming about what she will be when she grows up.... Perfect for Grandparents Day 🫶🏻

Here's what I love about it for therapy:
👉🏼Themes of self awareness, being yourself, and interacting with the world around you
👉🏼Some figurative language that allows for deeper discussions with older students on your caseload
👉🏼Present tense verbs, including present progressive
👉🏼Lots of rich Tier 2 vocabulary with strong verbs and nouns (i.e. warrior, march, destined)
👉🏼Whimsical pictures that will engage your kids​
Have you picked this one up yet?
🎓THEY MASTERED IT!! It’s graduation day, so i 🎓THEY MASTERED IT!! It’s graduation day, so it’s the perfect day to break my social media summer break and shout out these amazing new SLPs!!!!

I started this job two years ago, and this cohort started this journey with me. To say I’m proud of them is the biggest understatement of the year. My heart is so full of love for this group of young women and they are going to be AMAZING world changers through their work as SLPs. 

I’ve learned that being a supervisor means a lot more than imparting my wisdom about being an SLP.  Teaching how to navigate life and deal with loss, and how to manage stress and work boundaries are just as important as how to do therapy or write a SOAP note. 

And for Allison… thank you for all that you taught us and continuing to look down on all of us from heaven 🤍

Happy graduation, Class of 24!! I love you all and I can’t wait to see what you do! Go Noles!!
I read 13 books last month and enjoyed every singl I read 13 books last month and enjoyed every single one!! I don’t usually share these in feed but it seems like summer is a good time to share good books 😂 My top 5 for May were…

1.  Mrs. Nash’s Ashes by Sarah Adler was my absolute favorite. So, so good I couldn’t put it down! 5⭐️

2. When You Left Me Speecless by @authorjesschristine was delicious!! SLP romance that is SO spicy and a fun read by one of our very own. 5⭐️

3.  Idea of You by Robinne Lee was another adorable, spicy read that I tore through in one day. Followed up with the movie featuring Anne Hathaway and *chef’s kiss* 4.5⭐️

4.  The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah was intense and beautiful and made me feel all the things. Kristin Hannah could write a grocery list and I would read it. She is so consistently amazing! 5⭐️

5. Hidden Potential by Adam Grant was a fantastic nonfiction book that I read with some of my coworkers and we all agreed it was a must!  4.5 ⭐️

What have you been reading and loving lately?! Tell me in the comments so I can add it to my list 😍
Happy SLP Day, friends 🩷 YOU deserve all the ce Happy SLP Day, friends 🩷 YOU deserve all the celebration!!
I have the perfect new book for your speech therap I have the perfect new book for your speech therapy sessions::: Meet Floof 🐱 

Floof by Heidi McKinnon is an adorable new book that follows a silly cat that is doing what most cats do… getting into everything and taking naps!

What I love most about this story is the minimal words on each page, with fantastic illustrations that tell a bit of a different story. This is absolutely perfect to get your kids engaged and chatting about all the things they see Floof doing (and target verbs, prepositions, expanding utterances, and about a hundred other skills)

So many speech and language opportunities with this one, it’s a MUST read!  Want the link? Comment “Floof” and I’ll send you right over to Amazon so you can grab your own copy. 

I was provided with a copy of Floof in exchange for a review, but opinions and recommendations are all mine 🤍
Another semester done, another group of amazing wo Another semester done, another group of amazing women steal my heart ❤️ So dang lucky to get to do this work, SO proud of these future SLPs 🫶

Something that has been heavy on my heart lately::: I wish SLPs stop demonizing grad school, it’s such a problem especially on social. There are tons of people, me included, working really hard to make sure these young people have great experiences. Is it hard?  Hell yes. But can it also be amazing? Hell yes.

And if you had a terrible experience, what are you doing to change it for others?  Complaining about it on social is only doing harm to our field… and that’s fresh from the mouths of my students. It makes them anxious and scared and is such a negative influence. 

How about instead, we talk about boundaries and balancing it all, how to have difficult conversations and self advocacy, growth mindsets and overcoming challenges. How about we help prepare them instead of scare them? 

Just a thought 🌸 

Signed a tired clinical supervisor who pours her heart and soul into her grad students 🩷
For 13 years I worked as an SLP in the schools. I For 13 years I worked as an SLP in the schools. I was so happy there, I never thought I would leave… I imagined having a whole happy career in an elementary school and retiring and that would be that. 

But it wasn’t. 

The pandemic hit and I started to drown in that life that I used to love so much. So I left. And everyone said how brave I was, but I was so scared and sad and confused. Without being a school SLP, I didn’t know who I was anymore. How was my identity as a human so wrapped up in my job?  I started questioning whether or not I even wanted to be an SLP anymore. 

But I did. 

I found my way back through opportunity after opportunity. These doors that opened, led me back to my passion for a field I love. And it looks a whole lot different now than I ever imagined.

And that’s good.

We are so lucky to work in a field filled with possibilities. I tell my grad students all the time, you don’t have to pick a path and walk it forever. What works now, may not work for you in 5 years. Hell, it may not work next year. 

Stop putting pressure on yourselves and each other to be something specific. Med SLP, school SLP, peds, adults… we can do it ALL.

We grow, we change, we keep going. THAT Is where the beauty is 🩵 create the life you love and screw what you’re “supposed” to do.
Unbelievable. That’s all I got. Unbelievable. That’s all I got.
