What's New in SmallTalk Consonant Blends

4.7

April 20, 2021

Minor back-end improvements.

User reviews

Luh?

Surprised that the sound l is pronounced as "luh," and initial blends such as fl, gl are pronounced as "fluh""gluh." L should be a single positioning of the tongue, not two.

Wrong

Adds a sound to every blend which is completely incorrect.

Teacher

Reads the whole word but doesn't single out and say or highlight the blend being practiced. Wish it would have greater emphasis on the actual blend

Careful using this with apraxics

Nice videos, clear audio. My only complaint is that some of the demos model unvoiced consonants with an added voiced vowel. "ST" is pronounced S -T- UH. For clients with difficulty in confusing voiced and unvoiced sounds, this might be misleading.

Not for Australia

As an Australian Speech Pathologist I would not recommend this app they add vowels to some of the blends. But I do like their small talk phonemes for my children with CAS
