Speech Practice

Happy Holidays!

Here is a picture of my kids decorating ginger bread on Christmas Eve.

I did a post a while ago on speech practice and I made the tips into a pdf file.  Parents are busy and need help to practice their child's speech goals at home. Now you can print it off and share the information with parents to practice speech at home. 

:)

Check it out!

Love it & List It Holiday Activities

 

I am posting some of my favorite holiday activities and linking up with Speech Room News!
Thank you Jenna!
There are so many activities out there, so my  post

consists mostly of

reinforcement activities. 

 

Join me on Pinterest!

1. Santa Tic Tac Toe

I love this little game, it's so easy and cute. A very quick reinforcement game for the kids after they have practiced working on their target goal. And I bought it at the Dollar store- so it was super cheap!

2. Christmas Token Boards- I love this one not only because it is FREE, but you can use it for any goal! Check out the store for other free token boards.

3. Where is Rudolph? A great one for preschoolers! I bought this package and there are so many activities- concepts, plurals, Christmas match-ups, and more. I highly recommend this product especially if you are working with preschoolers.

Thank you More Than Words- you have some really great products!

This is the categorizing activity- for categorizing hot and cold items.

This is a plurals game and one of the concept activities for teaching under and over. 
You know how the little guys love the dry erase markers!

4. And I am shamelessly promoting my Santa, Santa What Do You See? You can use this with all ages. For the little guys you can use it for vocabulary, repetition and coloring. Plus they love it when you are reading if they think they know the words. For the older kids there a printing practice and write your own story activity. Recently I was working with some little guys at a daycare and I left them a copy so there will be lots of opportunity for repetition and vocabulary- great for the little guys language skills!

Thanks for checking in!

Happy Holidays!

Feedback

My Pre-school students LOVE these books. I printed half page copies for small groups and quarter page copies for home practice. The repetitive text increases early reading skills and boosts the little ones' confidence with print awareness. Thanks!!

Teachers Pay Teachers

And feed back on my Christmas Activity book: (it was free for about a week earlier on this month and right now it's only $1.20)

Some of my faves!

Hello fellow Speechies!

 I have many kids who seem to work on associations. I love to work on associations. When you look around there are so many resources to use. Some free, some you need to buy. I am going to post some of the things I like to use. 

 

1. My board maker book

I have had this so long I can't remember who made it. It is a book with consisting of 3 pictures. 1 on the top and 2 smaller pictures below it. The kids choose one of the small ones to go with the large main picture and then they explain why it goes together. This is my fave- sorry it's upside down. With a little imagination you can make your own. When I get my butt I gear I will make a master and put it in my store. ;) Please, be patient. 

 

2. This is another activity I like. This is especially good for younger kids to introduce the goal. At this point I usually get the kids to match the items and then I will give a brief explanation as to why the items are associated. This one is free!

I see that this product did receive some negative feedback- in my opinion the feedback was more about ink than the quality of the item. Judge for yourself.

 

3. Camp Go Togethers

 

http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Camp-Go-Together-Association-and-Analogies-567035 

This is a great activity for older kids because this activity involves reading and it gives clues about why items can be related.

 

4. Who does not belong? Another great one to have the kiddies choose which item does not belong. I like it, simple, and clear!

5. Last but not least! I love this item even though it is a Halloween/candy theme. It has 3 related items and the kids place them together and the. Explain why they are related- it is great for mastery! Make take teach has some great items!
