Sonority Sequencing Principle for Clusters (SSPC)
A hierarchy of clusters that demonstrates that some clusters are more complex than others and that these should be targeted to create the most change

Randomized Card Ideas
Ideas for randomizing activities by varying levels, actions, emotional contexts, prosody and centers

High-Frequency Word List
Word list that includes high-frequency words and high- and low-density words (ideal for generalization)

Word Scrambles
Home practice sheets targeting later-developing sounds

Conversation Practice
Home practice sheets to foster generalization of sounds to other contexts

Independent Singletons Probe
Pictures targeting all English sounds approximately five times initially, medially, and finally

Independent Singletons Probe Transcription Form
Transcription form to track student progress over time (words to remain untreated)

Independent Clusters Probe
Pictures targeting all initial English clusters 2-3 times each (includes transcription form to track student progress over time)

Independent Clusters Probe Transcription Form
Transcription form to track student progress over time (words to remain untreated)

Phonological Assessment and Treatment Targets (PATT)
Form to summarize information about a child's phonological system and to develop a rationale for targeting certain sounds (used in conjunction with independent singleton and cluster probes)
