Books Online

Are you looking for ways to build emergent literacy skills in young children?

As we have entered the era of COVID and we are now doing homeschool and a lot of online learning we need to remember books. I love books online and I love how books can increase so many language skills!

Here is a video about turning book reading into a conversation with the fun children’s book Good Night, Gorilla.

Here are some activities I found on Pinterest!

3 Bears in Therapy!

A Week with Goldilocks and the 3 Bears in Speech Therapy!

Face it, if you're like me you just want speech therapy to be fun! Why? Because if they have fun, they learn and they want to keep coming back! I am first to admit I use worksheets and flashcards, but I get tired of them too!

So lets make it fun...again!!

I love using fairy tales in therapy. 
The kids love them and you can use it  as a theme, even for a week if you like :)

I made products (look for the others in my store) that go with fairy tales, nursery rhymes and then you can watch a cute video on you tube. It is filled with activities for speech therapy or preschool/kindergarten classroom!

If you're into videos- check out this cute and funny video by Gorgeous Movies.
I particularly like this one for speech, and so do the kids!

You can then extend it in your class as a center and use toys. In therapy, I use the toys to work on receptive and expressive language teaching concepts,  and vocabulary (attributes). The kids LOVE the hands on stuff!
Try this and you've got a captive audience!

Here are some activities that are in my Goldilocks Pack

 I am also putting it on sale for $0.99 for the entire month of February!

Thanks for checking in!

Interactive Book

My First Interactive Book

A few weekends ago, you can tell by the pumpkin, I got all of all my craft supplies and made my first interactive book. It's a community helpers book by Alison floors. She did a guest blog post on her favorite therapy materials a while back! 


I have been hearing all the hype about these interactive books and wanted to try one for myself. I looked around and found one that I really liked. Allison's Community Helpers Interactive book  has really cute graphics and has a lot of activities in it. It has a small fold-able reader & also has a following directions segment to use with the interactive book.


 **the interactive book, the PDF includes:
- 16 “who” cards
- 9 “what” cards
- 9 “when” cards
- 9 “why” cards
- “Where” mini-book with fill-in blanks
- Matching community helpers to their work location worksheet
- 18 “Who am I?” inference cards
- 1 reinforcer activity to use with flash cards
- 1-step, 2-step, and 3-step directions for student to follow using the interactive book
- Work on categorization skills by sorting people/vehicles/items into correct scenes

 

 I am really looking forward to using this with some of my kids!!
