Transform Speech Therapy Sessions with Double Dice Phonology

Are you working with preschool or early elementary-aged students who are speech-delayed, unintelligible, or apraxic? Double Dice Phonology is the ultimate workbook for speech-language pathologists who want to make therapy both effective and fun!

Kids love it because it feels like a game, while you’ll love it for the numerous repetitions it helps you achieve—without the distractions of winners, losers, or moving game pieces. It’s therapy made simple, engaging, and efficient!

How Does It Work?

This workbook incorporates a unique double dice system (sold separately) to add excitement and variety to every session:

1. Roll the Double Dice:
   • The large 12-sided outer die displays a shape.
   • The smaller inner die (numbered 1–4) determines how many repetitions are needed.
2. Find and Practice:
   • Students locate the matching shape on their game sheet and say the corresponding word the indicated number of times.
3. Interactive Coloring:
   • After completing their turn, students color a section of their worksheet as directed, adding a creative and fun element.
4. Take Turns:
   • Play moves to the next student, building anticipation and keeping everyone engaged until the worksheet is complete.

Not only does this approach maximize therapy time and repetitions, but preschoolers also naturally learn shapes in the process—though no prior shape knowledge is required to use the worksheets!

What’s Included in the Workbook?

• Phonological Process Targeting:
  Worksheets specifically designed for velar fronting, final consonant deletion, initial consonant deletion, stopping, and syllable reduction at the word level.
