Speech Rocks! A Memory Book for Therapy Students

When I was brainstorming ideas for the end of the year, I wanted to create something for my kids and came up with an idea for speechie memory books!  You see tons of these for classrooms, but none specifically for speech…until now!
 I went with the very cool rockstar theme for this…mostly because I am always telling my kids they are rockstars 🙂

 The pages are split into halves for each page of the book you will make.  There are 5 full pages with two activities on each.  Students will either draw or write their answers on each, then you will cut down the middle line of each page to staple the half pages together to make a book.





They get to write about what they like, learned, and how they met goals.  I wanted to include pages which can help them reflect on the year and what they liked or didn’t.  I think this will help me to learn what I can do better too.  

 Oh AND there is a color version!  You can use whichever is easiest for you (I know most of us are running low on color ink now :)).

You can find this download in my TPT Store!  I hope you like it 🙂

You can enter to win a copy via Rafflecopter below…good luck!

    This is a great idea! I will have to save it, as my last day with students was today. Unfortunately, the paperwork seems never ending…..

    My favorite end of year activity is jeopardy. I also like to make speech books for summer practice if I have time.

    Wow awesome, tomorrow is my last day with one of my students so I might just buy it tonight! 🙂

    This is great! I try to get as many speech students together on the last week of school and have a Speech show and tell, where each student presents one thing they accomplished along with tips or encouragement to tell the other students.

    Super cute and what a fun idea! My favorite end of the year activity is waving to the buses as they leave on the last day! But seriously, my favorite speech activity is combining different students into groups and making snow cones and playing silly games.

    This year I’m trying something new and planning a mini “field day” to review listening and following directions. I’m working on my stations now. We don’t get out until June 21. Wish me luck!

    We end the year with a “speech party” usually one for each grade level. We have snacks, I give out accomplishment certificates and we talk about the school year and summer plans. All year long the kids are asking, “When’s the speech party?” It’s funny how such a small gesture can mean so much. They also get to raid the prize box (which is pretty picked over by now)!

    My favorite end of the year activity is to play games like last word, catch phrase, jeopardy, etc. i usually save those games for special occasions and end of the year activity when the yearwhen the kids need an extra boost with paying attention and staying motivated!

    I love this… especially that it gives students a chance to reflect and summarize their learning! I could see lots of good conversations developing through working on this book. My favorite end of the year activity is to pull out some of those favorite games such as Ned’s Head and Headbandz… highly motivating but still allowing for great practice opportunities.

    This is SO cute!

    This is an amazing activity! I have my kiddos do bucket lists around this time of the year. I make them list three things there is a good probability that they will do, and something they would love to do no matter how much it costs or how far away the place is. It seems like the days are just slipping by faster and faster!

    I love using summer activities at the end of school to get my kids even more excited about the hot weather and summer break!!

    What a neat and creative idea to creat this! Love it! For the end of the year, I like to play games and work on summer/beach theme activities.

    This year I made a beach ball to use at the end of the year after reading about the one you made! So fun!

    I usually do an ice cream party with all of my speech kiddos during their lunch. It’s fun to just hang out and not worry about keeping data, completing assignments, etc.

    Great idea especially for my 5th graders who are leaving! 🙁

    Pizza Party and Jeopardy Game to review skills. Students love it! So fun and they leave with their summer practice packets!

Meet Blob (NOT Bob)… and I’m here to tell you Meet Blob (NOT Bob)… and I’m here to tell you that you need this one in your therapy sessions.
Blob is a creature that can morph into anything and he does!  But someone keeps calling him Bob instead of by his name, which is frustrating for him. Finally he decides to just be himself, and he also stands up for himself to be called the correct name.
This one has all kinds of important lessons, and I think the name piece is super important for kids. Every child deserves to be called by their name and correctly. It’s a perfect beginning of the year book!
This book would also be great for: 
⚪️perspective taking
⚪️Targeting /b/ or /l/ clusters
⚪️Describing the different things Blob turns into
⚪️Compare and contrast
⚪️Discussing children’s interests and what they can be
⚪️Making decisions

What Will You Be? by Yamile Saied Medez and Kate A What Will You Be? by Yamile Saied Medez and Kate Alizadeh is such a wonderful story about a young girl and her abuela, dreaming about what she will be when she grows up.... Perfect for Grandparents Day 🫶🏻

Here's what I love about it for therapy:
👉🏼Themes of self awareness, being yourself, and interacting with the world around you
👉🏼Some figurative language that allows for deeper discussions with older students on your caseload
👉🏼Present tense verbs, including present progressive
👉🏼Lots of rich Tier 2 vocabulary with strong verbs and nouns (i.e. warrior, march, destined)
👉🏼Whimsical pictures that will engage your kids​
Have you picked this one up yet?
🎓THEY MASTERED IT!! It’s graduation day, so i 🎓THEY MASTERED IT!! It’s graduation day, so it’s the perfect day to break my social media summer break and shout out these amazing new SLPs!!!!

I started this job two years ago, and this cohort started this journey with me. To say I’m proud of them is the biggest understatement of the year. My heart is so full of love for this group of young women and they are going to be AMAZING world changers through their work as SLPs. 

I’ve learned that being a supervisor means a lot more than imparting my wisdom about being an SLP.  Teaching how to navigate life and deal with loss, and how to manage stress and work boundaries are just as important as how to do therapy or write a SOAP note. 

And for Allison… thank you for all that you taught us and continuing to look down on all of us from heaven 🤍

Happy graduation, Class of 24!! I love you all and I can’t wait to see what you do! Go Noles!!
I read 13 books last month and enjoyed every singl I read 13 books last month and enjoyed every single one!! I don’t usually share these in feed but it seems like summer is a good time to share good books 😂 My top 5 for May were…

1.  Mrs. Nash’s Ashes by Sarah Adler was my absolute favorite. So, so good I couldn’t put it down! 5⭐️

2. When You Left Me Speecless by @authorjesschristine was delicious!! SLP romance that is SO spicy and a fun read by one of our very own. 5⭐️

3.  Idea of You by Robinne Lee was another adorable, spicy read that I tore through in one day. Followed up with the movie featuring Anne Hathaway and *chef’s kiss* 4.5⭐️

4.  The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah was intense and beautiful and made me feel all the things. Kristin Hannah could write a grocery list and I would read it. She is so consistently amazing! 5⭐️

5. Hidden Potential by Adam Grant was a fantastic nonfiction book that I read with some of my coworkers and we all agreed it was a must!  4.5 ⭐️

What have you been reading and loving lately?! Tell me in the comments so I can add it to my list 😍
Happy SLP Day, friends 🩷 YOU deserve all the ce Happy SLP Day, friends 🩷 YOU deserve all the celebration!!
I have the perfect new book for your speech therap I have the perfect new book for your speech therapy sessions::: Meet Floof 🐱 

Floof by Heidi McKinnon is an adorable new book that follows a silly cat that is doing what most cats do… getting into everything and taking naps!

What I love most about this story is the minimal words on each page, with fantastic illustrations that tell a bit of a different story. This is absolutely perfect to get your kids engaged and chatting about all the things they see Floof doing (and target verbs, prepositions, expanding utterances, and about a hundred other skills)

So many speech and language opportunities with this one, it’s a MUST read!  Want the link? Comment “Floof” and I’ll send you right over to Amazon so you can grab your own copy. 

I was provided with a copy of Floof in exchange for a review, but opinions and recommendations are all mine 🤍
Another semester done, another group of amazing wo Another semester done, another group of amazing women steal my heart ❤️ So dang lucky to get to do this work, SO proud of these future SLPs 🫶

Something that has been heavy on my heart lately::: I wish SLPs stop demonizing grad school, it’s such a problem especially on social. There are tons of people, me included, working really hard to make sure these young people have great experiences. Is it hard?  Hell yes. But can it also be amazing? Hell yes.

And if you had a terrible experience, what are you doing to change it for others?  Complaining about it on social is only doing harm to our field… and that’s fresh from the mouths of my students. It makes them anxious and scared and is such a negative influence. 

How about instead, we talk about boundaries and balancing it all, how to have difficult conversations and self advocacy, growth mindsets and overcoming challenges. How about we help prepare them instead of scare them? 

Just a thought 🌸 

Signed a tired clinical supervisor who pours her heart and soul into her grad students 🩷
For 13 years I worked as an SLP in the schools. I For 13 years I worked as an SLP in the schools. I was so happy there, I never thought I would leave… I imagined having a whole happy career in an elementary school and retiring and that would be that. 

But it wasn’t. 

The pandemic hit and I started to drown in that life that I used to love so much. So I left. And everyone said how brave I was, but I was so scared and sad and confused. Without being a school SLP, I didn’t know who I was anymore. How was my identity as a human so wrapped up in my job?  I started questioning whether or not I even wanted to be an SLP anymore. 

But I did. 

I found my way back through opportunity after opportunity. These doors that opened, led me back to my passion for a field I love. And it looks a whole lot different now than I ever imagined.

And that’s good.

We are so lucky to work in a field filled with possibilities. I tell my grad students all the time, you don’t have to pick a path and walk it forever. What works now, may not work for you in 5 years. Hell, it may not work next year. 

Stop putting pressure on yourselves and each other to be something specific. Med SLP, school SLP, peds, adults… we can do it ALL.

We grow, we change, we keep going. THAT Is where the beauty is 🩵 create the life you love and screw what you’re “supposed” to do.
Unbelievable. That’s all I got. Unbelievable. That’s all I got.
