Word Vault {App Review & Giveaway!}

Here’s a tidbit about me…I love lists.  Like a lot. I think maybe it is a quality many SLPs have.  List making. Does it calm the anxiety?  Or make you feel accomplished?  Or give you unimaginable satisfaction to cross each thing off?  All of the above?  Confession…I will write things down, just to cross them off.  Sigh.  ANYWAYS…lists bring me to my new app review…
I’m so lucky because Luke over at Home Speech Home made this awesome app full of lists.  Nothing but lists and lists of speech stuff.  A.K.A SLP List Heaven.  Yes, it might be the best app ever.
When you open the app, you have four main choices…Articulation, Language, Phonology, and Social Vaults.
 The Language Vault covers TONS of different language skills.
 The Phonology Vault is one of my favorites!  The Minimal Pairs has 425 lists alone!
The Social Vault has 8 main lists with various targets for pragmatic language skills.
The Articulation Vault has 87 articulation word lists, which you can sort by sound, syllable, and position.
 When you choose your sound, up pops the list of words!

There are various settings that are present on the page when you are accessing ANY list and you can always access this view by pressing the question mark in the bottom right corner so you know what each button does.
 One of my favorite parts of this app is that I can have multiple pages at one time…this is a MUST in the  school setting, where you usually have more than one student in a group and they are all working on different goals.  I can pull up 4 different lists (or more) and just swipe through them when I need to change the target to match my student’s goals.  AWESOME.
OH, and you can email the list.  Type in an email address and off it goes.  This is awesome for homework!

So far, I have used this app for drill, hallway practice, progress monitoring, and emailing homework to a couple of parents.  

What I LOVE…

  • TONS of stimuli, all in one place
  • Various views available
  • Multiscreen option
  • Sorting options for syllable and position in articulation and phonological lists
  • Ability to email the lists
  • Works on iPad, iPhone, and iPod

What I’d like to see…

  • Custom lists…I’d love to be able to add/delete words to create individualized lists for my students who need them.

Overall, I love it.  This app has seriously become a must have for me.  I use it daily….which I can’t really say for anything else on my iPad.  I definitely recommend it!  You can find it in the iTunes Store, currently for $9.99….

BUT Luke is giving me THREE copies to giveaway!  YAY!  Enter via the Rafflecopter and good luck!

    Wow, the ways to use this are practically endless–great for Artic, for homework practice, for tiers of vocab, just to name a few

    I’m definitely a list maker myself. There is something so satisfying about crossing an item off your “to do” list! This app is right up my alley and would be an excellent resource for a new SLP in her CFY!

    I would use this app during therapy with kids who have both speech and language goals. Saves on having to use multiple resources simultaneously.

  8. Valerie says

  9. Erica says

    This year I have so many mixed groups with each kid working on something completely different. This app seems like the ideal tool to use for these kind of groups! It’s seems pretty incredible to have SO many skills in one place.

    I have never heard of this app and will definitely be looking into purchasing it if I don’t win. I love that this app targets so many different areas and I can use it with most or all of my students. I am working with k-12 this year and have such a wide need for materials, this could probably solve my problems.

  29. Julie Graham says

    This looks amazing! Thanks for bringing it to our attention. How great to have these lists at my fingertips! Great to have lists for therapy, teacher and parent suggestions!

My goal is simple. I want to provide you with helpful resources to engage your students in quality & creative therapy sessions

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.
