Minimal pairs are words that differ by only 1 phoneme (sip dip).​

It is a quick way of helping your child break the habit of substituting 1 sound for another sound.​

The goal of using minimal pairs is to help your child understand how they say the word determines the meaning.  ​

Ask your speech therapist for minimal pair resources!​
