Minimal Pairs


First off, I cut my hair yesterday.  Mommy misses my curls already, but Daddy likes it better.

Now onto this week's speech therapy words!  We worked on "minimal pairs" which are words that sounds similar - we focused on the sound discrimination between the "t" sound and the "k" sounds.  Examples are:  Tap/Cap, Tea/Key, Tight/Kite, Take/Cake, Cop/Top, Tall/Call. 

Daddy said the word then I was supposed to point to the picture.  I had a hard time with this, apparently I can't tell the difference between the two sounds very well.  After a few more days of practice I got much better though.  Our book this week was Bear Snores On.

Next week is my last week at speech until after the holidays, we will practice the S sound.  I will start back up January 15th for my final eight week session.
