Overview

This flip chart enables ready comparison of key images for each consonant and vowel. It is of particular importance for speech-language pathologists working with adults and children to change their articulation of sounds and for students of phonetics as they develop an understanding of the similarities and differences between sounds.

Review

• Sarah Braithwaite, NHS Tower Hamlets, Speech and Language Therapy in Practice magazine, (Spring 2011):
  "Each sound is represented on each side of the divided pages. Each side can be 'flipped' independently so any two sounds can be compared. The sound is described together with a photograph, diagram, ultrasound image and EPG frame. Older children and adults would find the photo and diagram useful...Useful to brush up on exactly how a sound is produced and possibly for training other professionals."
