{New} Fall Speech Activities

Hi friends.

I’m going to preface this post with the fact that I am sick.  I’ve been sick for three whole days.  Because, school.

What better way to spend sick days than working?  Riiiiiiight.  I am currently on self induced vocal rest, which is tough with it being football season and all.  Working keeps my brain busy.  And in the past week, I’ve been able to create and upload THREE new products to my TPT shop, all getting us ready for Fall.  Which starts tomorrow.  Which blows my mind.  Bonus, I’ve also had time to update all of my older fall products.  Also, my voice is sounding less like an 80 year old man and more like Jenn.  Here’s hoping tomorrow I’m back to full strength, cause there’s nothing worse than an SLP that can’t talk.  Because, therapy.

Up first, No Prep.  Woohoo!  These are usually my saving grace at least once a week.  Check out what’s included:

CrazySpeechWorld: New Fall Activities CrazySpeechWorld: New Fall Activities CrazySpeechWorld: New Fall ActivitiesThis thing is just chock full of activities to cover speech and language goals across elementary caseloads.   The whip cream on top is the fact that there is no laminating or color printing involved.  And we can all agree that whip cream is delicious 🙂  You can snag this one HERE.

 

This product is a newbie and I’m so excited about it!  I tried it out last week and my littles LOVED it!  It is super interactive way to work on categories, and you can choose the method that works best for you to assemble.  There are 16 categories, with 64 object cards to sort.  Categories included are:  animals, shapes, colors, vegetables, fruit, drinks, transportation, clothing, body parts, sports, tools, school supplies, insects, instruments, furniture, and jobs.

CrazySpeechWorld: New Fall ActivitiesYou can use clothespins, attaching the pictures with glue, velcro, or double sided tape.  Students can clip the pictures to the correct tree!  How fun is that?  It’s also good for my guys who are working on those fine motor skills!  

CrazySpeechWorld: New Fall ActivitiesYou can just as easily use Velcro to attach the pics, just place the four dots on the tree, then on the back of each picture.  I did them in a square, so you can still see the category name, even with the pics on.  You can find this download HERE.

My last product is the Fall version of another download I made in the spring, which I got so much mileage out of, I knew I needed it for all the seasons 🙂  

Crazy Speech World: New Fall Activities

Fall Verbs focuses on verb tense and building good sentences, for various levels of students.  There are 16 verbs, all related to fall activities.  Crazy Speech World: New Fall ActivitiesThere are also visuals and a data collection sheet to help you use this kit to the max!  You can find it HERE.

What are your favorite fall themed activities?

    I love your products. I have the spring no prep and I got so much use with my students.
    The loved the leprechaun art and working on their goals. your products are user friendly and no-prep makes puts less stress on me to plan my activities for therapy. This would’ve a great resource to use with my students this fall.

    Love them! Fall is by far my favorite season. Searching for great products to use in therapy to get my kids in the fall-mode can be a big task, especially when living in Texas and its 95 degrees. Your verbs product is IDEAL (always hunting for sentence building activities with a theme). I would love to win these products to share the fall spirit with my kiddos!

    Your Carnival Language Fun Pack was one of my first TPT purchases. I also use your Stellaluna and Bear book companions every year. I have blisters from cutting too much laminated card stock, so the no prep fall pack will probably end up in my tpt cart on payday. I love the cute graphics and functionality of all your products. Thanks for sharing your creativity.

    Love your themes, therapy activities , and data collection forms which gives so many benefits to SLPs and our students. So helpful to have materials that work on multi- goals for groups of students. All your visuals are also beneficial for students with autism.

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​

🎓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.

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 decisionsAmazon Affiliate link: amzn.to/3LbZDi7 ...
