đź’ˇ App Spotlight: Speech FlipBook đź—Ł
There's one app in our collection that is a little different from the rest... I'm sure you're going to flip when you see it:
​Speech FlipBook is a revolutionary, interactive, talking flip book of all the sounds in English to help you treat:
- Articulation
- Apraxia
- Dysarthria
- Phonological Awareness
You can generate comprehensive word lists of all the single-syllable words that contain each sound or blend in each position of the word in seconds!
Your clients will love flipping, repeating, segmenting, blending, recording, and reading each word (or non-word!) on the screen as their awareness & speech improve. This app is a therapist’s dream that can be used with all ages & speech disorders.
Why I love this app
Honestly, I use this app all the time whenever I need sound-specific words. Sometimes I don't even show it to my client - I just use it myself. I was tired of struggling to think of words that fit a certain criteria. Now when I need a bilabial-vowel-velar word? This app has me covered! It has all the consonants, cluster, and 3 types of vowels (pure, diphthongs, and rhotic).
- Jess Schulman, SLP, Figuratively Speeching
How to Use Speech FlipBook
1. Set up your word lists from the tabs on the FlipBook. You’ll get 2300+ real words & 60,000 non-words.
- Select sounds for each position of the word on each tab: Initial Sounds, Initial Clusters, Vowels, Final Sounds, & Final Clusters – 125 in all!
- Customize the types of words to include, the word shape (V, CV, VC, CVC), & how it looks on the Settings screen
2. Hear each sound individually or the word as a whole by touching the letters or word (250+ homophones included!) Record your speech on-screen to compare to the target for improved self-monitoring & self-correction.
3. Flip to the next word or flip just one sound to create minimal pairs!

Your brain keeps two records of everything you read. One stores the gist. This is the meaning, the shape of it, what it was roughly about. The other stores the verbatim trace: the actual words, the specific details, the data point in the third paragraph. The gist is durable. It sticks around, gets consolidated into long-term memory, and becomes part of what you "know." The verbatim trace is fragile. It starts degrading almost immediately. To be fair, it's supposed to. Retaining every word of...
Reading a text message. Skimming a menu. Catching up on the news. Most of us don't think twice about these things... until we can't do them the way we used to. After a stroke or brain injury, reading often gets harder, slower, and more exhausting. If you've noticed this, you're not alone. 🧠What's going on in the brain Reading isn't a single skill. It's a complex chain of steps your brain performs in a fraction of a second: recognizing letters, combining them into words, pulling meaning from...
A patient reads “dog” easily. And the non-word “slib” without hesitation. But show them “plaid" and they said "played." The word "island" becomes "iz-land." What's going on here? 🤔 Answer: surface alexia (the phonological route is intact; irregularly spelled words are a struggle) If you got that – kudos! 🤗If you didn’t… don’t beat yourself up. 🥴 Even if you nailed the diagnosis, the treatment details for surface alexia might be rusty. As SLPs, we're expected to hold a lot of information in...
