Speech Therapy for Kids: /t/ vs /k/ Minimal Pairs | Fix Velar Fronting

In this video, we’re targeting a common phonological process called velar fronting—when children replace the /k/ sound with a /t/ sound (e.g., saying “tat” instead of “cat”). Using fun and simple /t/ vs /k/ minimal pairs, we help kids hear the difference between these sounds and learn to say them correctly.

This type of practice is especially helpful for children with phonological processing delays and can support better speech clarity and sound awareness.

Whether your child is working on correcting sound errors or you're an SLP looking for a therapy tool, this video makes minimal pair practice engaging and effective!
