Halloween With Kiwi
A Digital TH Articulation Speech Therapy Storybook Featuring Contextual Facilitation | Pretzel Learning, LLC
Celebrate Halloween with Kiwi the Corgi in this colorful, hand-illustrated digital speech therapy storybook designed to support articulation, phonological awareness, language development, and meaningful communication!
Kiwi is excited for Halloween, but first, she needs the perfect costume! With help from Kate and Gabby, she tries several options before choosing an adorable bumblebee outfit.
Later, while trick-or-treating, Kiwi meets Theo, a friendly dog dressed as a wizard. When an unexpected accident interrupts their evening, the new friends discover the importance of kindness, sharing, friendship, and problem solving.

Storybook (PDF): A digital copy of the fully illustrated storybook for viewing on compatible computers, iPads, tablets, and other supported mobile devices.
Storybook (PowerPoint): A presentation-friendly version for individual sessions, small-group therapy, and classroom instruction.
Articulation Data Tracker (PDF): A separate therapist resource featuring narrative text with color-coded speech sound targets and data collection opportunities.
These formats make it convenient to display pages, revisit target words, and work through either part of the story across different therapy sessions.
This purchase includes the PDF and PowerPoint storybooks plus the PDF Articulation Data Tracker. Printed copies and additional Digital Speech Materials are sold separately.
A Two-Part Approach to Contextual Facilitation
Developed specifically for speech-language therapy, the 28-page narrative emphasizes voiceless /θ/ and voiced /ð/, commonly known as the TH sounds.
A distinctive feature of Halloween With Kiwi is its intentional two-part structure, informed by contextual facilitation.
Part One: Controlled Articulation Practice (Pages 1–14)
The first half provides repeated /θ/ and /ð/ opportunities while deliberately excluding /f/ and /v/ from the narrative.
Because some students substitute /f/ for /θ/ or /v/ for /ð/, this creates a lower-competition phonetic environment for students establishing accurate TH productions.
Part Two: Increasing Phonemic Complexity (Pages 15–28)
The second half reintroduces /f/ and /v/ into connected speech alongside the primary TH targets.
This provides opportunities to practice maintaining accurate productions while encountering potentially competing sounds.
Each part has its own beginning, middle, and ending, allowing clinicians to use either half independently or complete the full story according to individual student needs.
Targeted Articulation and Data Collection
The included Articulation Data Tracker identifies the following occurrences across the complete narrative:
The tracker also provides separate totals for Parts One and Two, making it easier to select an appropriate phonetic environment and monitor productions across sessions.
Color-coded shapes identify target sounds throughout the narrative, with space to record accurate productions or substitutions.
Speech and Language Goals Supported
Primary Articulation: /θ/ and /ð/ in connected speech
Contextual Facilitation: Controlled exclusion and later introduction of /f/ and /v/
Additional Articulation: /h/, /w/, /j/, /s/, and /z/
Phonological Awareness: Auditory discrimination, sound identification, and phonemic contrasts
Expressive and Receptive Language: Descriptive vocabulary, categorization, and comprehension
Narrative Skills: Sequencing, retelling, WH questions, and story comprehension
Higher-Level Language: Comparing and contrasting, predictions, and problem solving
Social-Emotional Development: Friendship, empathy, kindness, sharing, and cooperation
Extend the Story With Coordinated Digital Speech Materials
Halloween With Kiwi connects with Pretzel Learning's separately available Digital Speech Materials, which may include articulation word lists, word-phrase-sentence practice, WH questions, phonological activities, and other narrative-based language resources.
These coordinated activities help reinforce familiar characters, vocabulary, and communication goals across multiple therapy sessions.
