Initial Consonant Deletion

By Elizabeth Redhead Kriston, M.A., CCC-SLP
Illustrated by Gary Morgan

Now in its second printing!

Pants on ants?  Eggs with legs?  Apes with capes?  From playtime to bedtime, things are “just not right”! 

The first book of the Word Menders series, Pants on Ants is a fabulous, fun romp that engages children (and adults too!) with its vivid imagery and strong rhythm and rhyme.  But there is more to this carefully-crafted storybook than its cover!  

Built-in minimal pair contrasts target initial consonant deletion for children who demonstrate this process and phonemic awareness for all listeners.  

Pants on Arts includes a set of flashcards, which store in a handy pocket inside the back cover, that provide direct practice of the targeted minimal pairs and opportunities to extend the story. SLPs will find many ways to use Pants on Ants both as a therapy tool and as a send-home-and-read-together book for all to enjoy.
