K and G Consonant Clusters

I have one student that demonstrates a cluster reduction only when KT, KT, and GS are together. I created these basic word lists to help him master this goal. He was responsible for creating goofy sentences out of the words.

Academic Vocabulary

So many of our language kiddos have a difficult time with key vocabulary. I have attached a list of some key vocab in the areas of language arts, math, science, and social studies. I also included a document with picture definitions. I printed these pictures and glued them to note cards. It is a visual way for students to learn the terms. This particular document includes third grade academic vocab only.

Spring Idiom Game

In my very first post, I shared a game in which students build phrases. Each word in the phrase is a card and the students draw the cards and have to build the phrase. The student with the most phrases built wins the game. This document has two idioms and some pictures to use as the cards. All you need to do is print, cut, and laminate. I like to attach them to a piece of bright construction paper before laminating.

Finding Nemo Game

It will be summer before we know it! What better way to kick off summer than with a finding Nemo game for speech therapy. I have learned over the school year, that kids prefer games that I've made. I'm pretty sure this will be a hit, so I thought I'd share it with everyone!

Spring into Speech therapy

The weather is finally starting to warm up and the sun is shining! I love to take the speech students outside for speech therapy when the weather is nice for a special treat. I thought I would share a few speech therapy activities when outside. My preschoolers love to make race tracks outside with their articulation sounds as obstacles. The older speech kids like to play a bean bag toss game. I spy is also a fun game to play outside and could be used as a carrier phrase for articulation. If you have access to a basketball hoop, the old fashioned game of pig or horse is a fun one. It's exciting for the kids to even just have their speech time outside. It doesn't need to be a new activity/game. Don't forget to bring some articulation cards outside with you.

You win some. You lose some.

I recently had a few speech students get upset when they lost a game during speech. I used to reward the winner with a few skittles. However, I don't like to see the kids get sad. Therefore, I developed a new system. Every time a student wins, he or she earns a sticker. Once the student receives ten stickers, he or she wins a prize. I think it is a way for the students to learn to work towards a goal instead of immediate gratification. I keep the students' sticker charts on the wall for all to see. This shows the other students that many of their peers work on their speech too. Also, the student that loses doesn't get upset! I'm sure all of you have some great ideas! I'm all ears!

Quick Speech Therapy Game

This is my first post! I wanted to share an easy DIY speech game that my kiddos love! My supervisor gave me this idea for a Halloween activity. I used green, orange, and purple construction paper. I separated each paper into three columns. In one column, I wrote, "trick." In the second column, I wrote, "or." In the third column, I wrote, "treat." I flipped the pages over and put Halloween stickers on the other side. This way the students can't see through the construction paper. I laminated the sheets and cut them up so that each word was a separate piece. The students reach into a Halloween bag and draw one colored piece. Whoever earns the most, "trick or treats" at the end of speech wins! This game is great because it is a quick and easy, so you can squeeze in ALOT of speech practice. Also, you can recreate this game for any holiday or a fun phrase with targeted speech sounds. I usually have the students take a speech turn to earn their draw. For the students that can't read, you can do this with colors and have them create a specific pattern. It's a super versatile game! Have fun!
