Syllable Drilling™ Card Deck

Syllable Drilling™ Card Deck helps students learn to blend and segment syllables based on units of speech.

The Syllable Drilling™ Card Deck is designed to give students focused practice in blending and segmenting syllables, strengthening their phonological awareness skills. With clear, speech-based syllable division, this deck supports how words are spoken naturally, making it an ideal tool for Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and educators who want to reinforce accurate syllable production.

What makes this syllable card deck so effective?

• Targets blending and segmenting syllables in 2-4 syllable words, helping students develop strong phonological skills.
  
• Includes 60 pairs of multisyllabic words, giving ample practice opportunities.
  
• Features 12 novel words for generalization, ensuring students can apply their skills in new contexts.
  
• Divides words based on how they are spoken, not by standard dictionary rules, supporting natural speech patterns.
  
• Comes with instructions and therapy ideas for easy integration into therapy sessions.
  
• Packaged in a sturdy storage tin for long-term use and portability.
  

Why this learning approach works so well

• Speech-based syllable division aligns with how students naturally articulate words, promoting smoother blending and segmentation.
  
• Hands-on, repetitive practice reinforces phonological awareness and supports reading and spelling development.
  
• Versatile use—ideal for individual sessions, small groups, or classroom settings.
  
• Encourages generalization of skills through exposure to novel words.
  

Who is the Syllable Drilling™ Card Deck helpful for?

This card deck targets phonological awareness and syllable segmentation skills in students in grades prekindergarten and up. The Syllable Drilling™ Card Deck is an educational resource for Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), special educators, teachers, and parents. Its versatility makes this card deck great for various learning environments, including small or large groups in the classroom, in one-on-one speech therapy sessions, or at home.

Why Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), special educators, teachers, and parents love this syllable card deck:

• The large, colourful cards help with the production of multi-syllabic words, sound sequencing and vocabulary development. Preschoolers love the idea that they know "big kid" words. The pictures are clear and show a nice variety of nouns.
• They help make working with multisyllabic goals so simple. Each word is broken down by syllables, making it much easier for young kids to visualize them. The images are wonderful also! 
• The pictures are easy to recognize (images like a bunny) and are words/images that even younger preschool students typically know. The two-sided feature allows for trying the word with different levels of visual support, and the blue side (where the word is visually segmented into syllables) allows for tapping each part to provide additional cues.

Syllable Drilling™ Card Deck includes:

• 60 pairs of 2-4 syllable words
  
• 12 novel words for generalization
  
• Instruction and therapy ideas
  
• Sturdy storage tin (3¼" x 4¾")
