From Speech to Success: Improving Intelligibility Through the Cycles Approach

As the Speech-Language Pathologist at Pelican Marsh Elementary School, I am requesting funding to purchase the Bjorem Complete Cycles Bundle from Bjorem Publications. This evidence-based intervention resource includes six specialized card decks designed to implement the Cycles Approach for students with moderate to severe speech sound disorders. The bundle targets common phonological error patterns such as fronting, backing, consonant deletion, cluster reduction, and difficulties with liquids and glides. These materials are specifically designed to improve speech intelligibility in children with significant articulation and phonological disorders.

The requested materials will directly benefit students receiving speech and language services at Pelican Marsh Elementary School. Through systematic and engaging intervention activities, students will have increased opportunities to practice targeted speech patterns and develop stronger phonological skills. Expected outcomes include: • Improved speech intelligibility and communication effectiveness. • Increased participation in classroom discussions and collaborative learning activities. • Enhanced phonological awareness skills that support reading and spelling development. • Greater confidence when communicating with peers, teachers, and family members. • Improved progress toward Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals. Because these materials are durable and designed for repeated use, they will benefit numerous students over multiple school years, making this a cost-effective and sustainable investment in student success.

The primary goal of this project is to improve speech intelligibility which will then support literacy readiness for students with significant articulation and phonological disorders.

Amount Requested: $243.99 The requested funds will be used to purchase the Bjorem Complete Cycles Bundle from Bjorem Publications. This comprehensive resource includes six evidence-based card decks designed to support implementation of the Cycles Approach for students with moderate to severe phonological disorders. The bundle targets common phonological patterns including fronting and backing, initial and final consonant deletion, liquids and glides, singleton stridents, s-clusters, and syllableness. The materials were specifically developed to provide engaging, developmentally appropriate intervention for highly unintelligible children with significant speech sound disorders which results in lasting impact on student achievement.
