Our Speech Room Staples!

I love this Speech Room Staples link up with Speech Musings.  A perfect idea to sneak a peek into other speech rooms to see who is using what.  

Here are some of my favorite materials from some very talented bloggers. 

1.  If you have not tried Speech Tube, now is the time.  My students are pumped up for our social language lessons and the idea to incorporate popular youtube videos into therapy is brilliant by Speech Room News!

2.  I really enjoy being able to have app companions for language and My PlayHome Stores is one that targets so many goal areas.   A must-have by Teach Speech 365 for working with younger learners who love technology. 

3.  Cooking in speech is just as much fun as technology!  Rachel Lynette's cooking recipes are perfectly proportioned for one and the targets of sequencing, following directions, and listening are all easily worked on in this yummy product.

1.  My SLPrunner products are made with my own students' language and learning needs in mind.  My go-to products are hands-down my monthly activities for language.  I have just updated the year full of language activities bundle by adding monthly data tracking forms to see progression over time.  

2.  Since working on monthly theme-therapy, my life as an SLP has become so much more manageable.  Each month, I have $-saving bundles incorporating activities for a multitude of language goals and levels.  Here is October:

Everyday tools for increasing expression.

I love to incorporate fun hands-on activities into my service time with students.  This is tricky at the middle level, but there are usually creative ways to approach descriptive language with materials that are cheap and easy to find.  

Smelly Markers! 

 I could just eat the orange marker with its tangy candy smell.  These great tangibles are a fun tool to work on describing.  At level one, I have students get creative with naming the color (below).  Students provide a descriptive statement of the marker's scent for Level two (above).   

Paint Swatches:  

From fresh cut grass to sage leaves, your students will love acting as painting color pros.  Students can name the color and expand expressive language by describing the color in oral and written forms.  

See how your students can become jelly bean connoisseurs on my

 Tasty Expression post.   

Use these ideas for data points throughout the year!  

Now tell me: What's your favorite color, scent, or flavor?
