A couple of years ago I got really sick of printing and cutting out sound based picture stimuli over and over again, so I came up with a permanent solution…artic buckets! My idea was to create a set of pictures for each of the most popular sounds that could be used multiple times for all […]
DIY Classroom Supplies
Let’s talk about being a new SLP and not have ANY money for anything. I remember those days very clearly. It’s about that time that I started looking for more creative ways to have what I needed with what I already had! Pencil cup! All you need is an empty can (mine was green beans) […]
Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed for Speech Therapy
There is nothing I like more than finding printables that go with a book I love! I get to target language skills that I may not be able to address with just the book itself. One of my favorites to work on spatial concepts is Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed by Eileen Christelow. […]
Planning for Back to School!
It’s starting…the time when I start missing the artic cards and Candyland and planning therapy. Summer is coming to an end. I am down to one week left, which is exciting and a little sad all at the same time. I love being home all summer with my son…no schedules to keep, no alarms, and […]
Dolch Word Articulation Game
I don’t normally talk trash. Welllll, except during football season 😉 And I never teach my students to until now… But it’s not what you think, I promise! I found this activity, Trash or Treasure? on Pinterest last week and I knew I could make this speech related, so I did! Introducing…Trash Talk! What is Trash […]
Do School SLPs really need their CCC?
One of my best friends, who my son refers to as Super Cool Megan because she is so awesome, recently had her second (gorgeous) baby and made the decision to take leave from being a (fabulous) SLP to spend time her children. We have spent some time talking about her not using her amazing talent […]
Confessions of a SLP Shopaholic
I really just have a problem. I cannot go into any store and not find something I think will just be awesome for speech. I do not always make the purchase, I have some self control (a.k.a. lack of endless funds). But this week I have gotten so lucky with great finds and I had […]
Time to get crafty…
I am always inspired by other people’s projects…this may be why I love Pinterest so much! This time though, I was really digging Jenna Rayburn’s Miss Piggy over at Speech Room News. I just knew that pig was a huge hit and I wanted one too! So I started looking around my house for some empty containers […]
Am I Really a Speech Teacher?
So what brought me to this post was a conversation I had on Twitter. I’m not sure how it started, or even where I got involved (it’s actually acceptable to butt in on a convo!) but it came down to SLPs being labeled, treated, and paid like a teacher. Now. Backspace. I have the utmost […]
The Napping House Book Activities
I realized that I have gone material mad lately! I love having all of this time to be able to create and cut and paste! Letting my creative juices flow is one of my favorite things to do and summer is the best time to do it, in preparation for the upcoming year. What you […]
![Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) play a crucial role in children's language development. One often overlooked but highly beneficial area to incorporate into speech therapy sessions is print knowledge. Understanding the importance of print knowledge can enhance therapy outcomes and foster literacy skills in children. I recently worked on a paper with some colleagues about the importance […]](https://i.pinimg.com/236x/ce/7f/bd/ce7fbd4a90a9683531d8b43d60ee2a68.jpg)
