If you’re working with preschool children or younger elementary students with phonological disorders, today’s product review is just for you! Silly Sets is a new Super Duper product. Silly Sets: Minimal Pairs for Maximum Progress Card Deck is developed by Kim Patterson, M.S., CCC-SLP and Rynette Kjesbo, M.S., CCC-SLP. I’ve reviewing the product today and hosting a giveaway too! So stick with me and enter below! 
The Minimal Pairs approach to phonological disorders pairs two words with only one sound difference together. The Silly Set cards include 100 illustrated minimal pairs. Each card has an illustration on one side. The back side includes sentences with minimal pairs. For example, “Kim wore a pretty dress.” and “Tim wore a pretty dress.” 
The silly factor will definitely get your students laughing. Changing the meaning will really get your students attending to their sound. The cards include the following processes: Cluster Reduction, Fronting, Stopping and Final Consonant Deletion. 
Pros: I love that it includes a cheat sheet page that tells the different pairs included. The cards are also color coded for easy use. Cons: The set only includes 4 different processes. I’d love if they included a second set with other processes. You can purchase Silly Sets through Super Duper Pub. for $21.95.

I didn’t know these existed!! I so need them!!
I love this! The added visuals are great for understanding the difference in meaning as well as keeping the kids motivated with the humor. Love!

I have children that need to listen for absurdities
I am always trying to explain how one change in a sound can disrupt the meaning. This is great!
I have children who do not recognize that what they are saying is not correct. This would be a great visual for them.
I would love to have these cards! I have several kids they would benefit.
I think the visuals are a great aid for demonstrating the absurdities.
I would love to use these with my speech students! It’s always great to have new materials to change things up
I have soooo many littles that could benefit from this! I’m loving the silliness.
I have a bunch of phonology goals this year and very limited materials, these would be great!
Oh, my! Where do I even start??? My school system is really strapped, budget-wise. This would be a tremendous help with my students. With the PARK coming up next year, this could also be used with my students to get them ready to answer “why” they answered how they did.
This is great not only for speech-only students, but also I have a bunch of LLD kiddos with artic goals who could really benefit from the fun visuals!! As always, Super Duper makes the best products! 🙂
I frequently use minimal pairs with little kiddos to help raise their awareness of their sounds. This silly sets will be so motivating for them!
These look fun! The kiddos would definitely find these entertaining!
I am have a lot of preschoolers that have this goal and have been looking for more fun products like this. I hope I Win!
These would be great and something different for my phonological impairment kiddos.
Love the visuals!
I need theses for minimal pairs practice with some of my kiddos.
I think these would be great because listening is so important.
I need this to work on articulation/minimal pairs with my elementary kiddos on my caseload.
The kids I work with would definitely benefit and love these cards! I am in my CF year and searching for materials to use with my kids… I have never seen these before. Thanks for the review and giveaway opportunity! These are so great to use with both speech and language goals!
I sooooooo need this with my phonology kids! I have a group of students with severe disorders who really need this!
This year I got 6 new kindergartner kids and all have artic elibigilities!
I would love to use this for auditory processing, language, and artic!
I have tons of new phonology kindergarteners this year! Would love to use this with them.
I would use this with hearing loss preschool kids 🙂

I need this because they are so awesome.
Because all of my prechoolers with speech delay seem to follow phonological patterns.
finger’s crossed so I can stop making my own!
ALL of the preschoolers on my caseload right now are phonology kiddos. This would definitely be so useful! Great review, Jenna!
I have SOO many phono kids on my caseload that these would be soo helpful and motivating for them. Thanks!
I am a CF and would be so grateful for the extra resources. Plus, I have a dear friend with a child with some phono processes and she would enjoy the flashcards when I see her for “play time” aka speech therapy. 🙂 Thank you!
These look great! Even though it only includes 4 processes, those are the 4 most common processes my kids are working on! The pictures look super motivating too 🙂
I have quite a few kinders and transitional kinder students who are working on these phonological processes. The visuals would be a wonderful added support and the “silliness” looks very motivating!
I have many transition kindergarten students and this would be great for them.
I can see how these cards would be motivating for all my kids having trouble with these processes! These are the common processes that my kids are working on right now!
I have several groups of students working on these phonological processes. It would be a fun way to work on their sounds!
I need this for the visual cues it provides for my students who have difficulty hearing the right word!
This would be such a fun activity for my kids! I love the review!
I would love to use this with my kids who work on these phonological processes. Something new and fun!
I need this because I am so bored with my materials and I know my kiddos would love some novel materials too! These look pretty funny and we all can appreciate a good laugh while we’re working hard in speech!
I have a few kindergarteners with severe phonological disorders. I am always looking for new ways to target these skills with my little guys. This would be perfect, I think they would love it!
I have a couple kids that work on final consonants! This would be perfect!
This is the first year that I have several preschool students on my caseload and I have very little materials to work with that population. This would be perfect!!
This would be great to use for my students with severe phonological disorders. They will love this set with the great pictures!
I need this because I work in preschool special ed where the budget is pretty much zero. I need this because I have at least two kids on my caseload who respond to pretty much nothing but iPads and iPhones and desktop computers. I need this because I’m nearly broke from spending my own money on materials and office supplies. It would be really nifty to use this app with my kids with articulation/phonological goals.
Always looking for something new to add to my speech bag of tricks 🙂
I need these because kiddo needs to work on phonological processes!
I need this because I have a bunch of kiddos with phonological disorders and because I want therapy to be fun and this looks like fun1
I have been eyeing this since it came out for one specific child, who would REALLY benefit from it!! I would love it!!!
My preschool clients would get a kick out of these!
My whole caseload is preschool!
This is so great! I have a bunch of children (up to fifth grade) that are working on just these skills. Having a little excitement with their words would really encourage them! And it’d be fun for everybody!
This looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for the review!

I have so few materials to address phonological processes…I almost purchased it on the 30% off sale, but my wishlist was just too big 🙁 Would be great to win a set here!!
Very cool! I love learning about new materials

I need this because I have very few phonological processes materials! Also, I just got moved to an elementary school and have some students who could benefit from using this resource! 🙂
I am a CF at a BRAND NEW school with a very large case load. I have a ton of kiddos engaging in phonological processes well beyond developmentally appropriate norms. Did I mention it’s a BRAND NEW SCHOOL and I am a CF!? I have no materials and I am a contractor, so I am not included in the school’s budget. I would LOVE to have the Silly Sets for Minimal Pairs. Phonology is one of my favorite things to work on; I actually wrote a research report on the different approaches for remediating phonological processes in grad school. 🙂
I am a CF as well…anything to add to my supply cabinet would be wonderful! Thanks Jenna!
So excited about a new and fun way to work on phonological processes!! Plus I have to admit that my therapy materials for this area is seriously lacking and I think it would make a great addition!!
I would love these because I am working in a new district this year where they have apparently never heard of phonological disorders! I have been creating all my own materials, I would love something free and pre-made!
