Freebie! Phonemic Awareness Assesmment

 

 

Hey there!

I wanted to show you this freebie to check Phonemic Awareness skills.

Use this assessment to check your students' phonemic awareness skills.

Includes initial sounds, rhyming, syllables, phoneme segmenting, and blending.

 IT is a freebie from Sarah Paul on TPT.  I have used this phonemic awareness assessment as a pre and post-test to check my kid's skills! You can use it to see which areas each student is having difficulty with and focus on that area. 

I love it, it is a quick test that has pictures, but I used it without. I have used it to keep data and show the school how the student's skills have increased. Click on the picture to take you to Sarah Pauls's product on TPT. 

Thank you, Sarah!!

Holiday Themed Centers

 

 

Need some fun holiday-themed centers to help finish out this last bit before the break?

Here are some quick helpers to help you get by!

Sensory Sound Loaded Bins

 I know it is a bit early but I am getting ready for my Holiday themed ideas for speech therapy!  

I went to the dollar store and bouge some really inexpensive items and I plan on using these gorgeous little bins in speech therapy. 

These are my /k/ bins loaded with cupcakes and candy! To make it a little more fun we can hide them around the room and have the kids practice their prepositions at the same time!

 

If you want some other ideas you can use this pack of my and add your own dollar store fillers!

The Gingerbread Man

 

 

Here is a cute Gingerbread pack great for this time of year.

It is normally $5 but I am selling it for $3 until December 25th! And keep your eyes peeled cause I am going to be adding more activities to it!!!

 

 

The Gingerbread Man Preschool Pack- also works with students who have a language delay.

It is 60 pages of hands-on fun and it's low prep!

You can use the book (in this pack) or you can use a youtube video. Read this book a few times to encourage comprehension.

This pack includes:

•Fine motor skill activities- including playdoh mats, or drawing, colouring and pre-printing practice.

•Rhyming worksheets

•Beginning sound mats- can also be used for segmenting sounds

•Beginning Sound House Center- do the 2 pictures start with the same sound?

•Coloring pages- and printing practice for upper case letters (beginning sounds of each character from the story).

•Sensory bin pieces

•Prepositions interactive book- also targets “where” questions and a wordless book that you can pair with a youtube video or use as comprehension pieces or story props!

 Here is a video I like to use with it!

Toy Time!!

 

Toy Time!

So much fun in Speech therapy the kids hardly knew they were learning!!

We targeted all of my caseloads goals with these toys!

I loved using this little Melissa and Doug House and Fisher-Price people to target pronouns and verbs:

she is knocking

she is opening

he is in the house

he is waiting in the house, etc.

Kids loved it and played forever!!

Who says speech therapy cant include toys!?

During Halloween, I also used these little My Life toys for the kids to play with!

They were loaded with /k/, /l/ and /s/ blends sounds:

snack

stick

slush

lantern

light

lollipop

candy

"Can I have...?"
