I made this to work with some of my higher level pragmatics students who tend to speak in monologues and have a hard time picking up on subtle cues about when the topic of conversation needs to be changed. My students that fit in this category typically will change the topic when cued to do so, but need to work on independence and awareness. I emphasize for my students that this will really help when they go in for job interviews, or when they are in clubs, or basic communication all day every

I use this with my older pragmatics students to teach them more polite ways of asking for what they want instead of just adding "please". Generally, the farther down the arrow, the more polite the wording is. I have one arrow cue card in front of each student in the group, then they take turns changing requests into more polite, or indirect, requests. Sometimes I use a random number generator 1-40, sometimes I cut the sentences up and have them draw from a bucket, or sometimes they just go

Vocalic R Battleship! Just like the classic Battleship game, except students must call out their target spaces by saying the word on that space instead of a letter/number combination. Students try to locate each other's ships on their board with a barrier between them by guessing spots to fire "missile". Designed to be glued onto file folders (to look like classic Battleship.) Each student will have 5 ships to place on their board (I like to use sticky tack to keep them in place). They take

Combine color coded sentences (ice cream scoops) using a conjunction (ice cream cone). Students can complete the sentence with the second ice cream scoop, match the two scoops with the correct conjunction, read/combine the sentences using the conjunction, etc. as you see fit! Conjunctions included: since, until, so, if, unless 3 sentence pairs per conjunction Intended to be made into a file folder game, with the cones glued to the folder and the scoops attached with velcro, but adapt as neede

Upgraded version! This set includes: * sentence formulation strips (parts of speech or question words) * 9 adjective cards * 9 adverb cards * 9 conjunction cards (for expanding with reasons) * 18 subject cards * 18 verb cards (regular and irregular) * 18 location cards * 18 time cards (past, future, and continuous) I use this with small groups of students to target (regular and irregular) verb tenses, parts of speech, expanding sentences, formulating questions, answering wh questions, you na

I made this sheet to quickly check up on stimulability and progress for my phonological kiddos. Words to elicit are listed off to the side of each picture and I usually transcribe their responses on a separate page. At least 2 trials each for: syllableness, initial consonants, final consonants, s blends, backing/fronting, gliding. You can also make note of plurals and present progressive -ing in 1 case. I run through once just eliciting the words and transcribing, then probe for stimulabil

I use this with small groups of students to target (regular and irregular) verb tenses, parts of speech, expanding sentences, formulating questions, answering wh questions, you name it! I typically sort the cards into colors (parts of the sentence) and have each student hold one pile. The students can either flip one over randomly (funny sentences), or look at some and pick the best one (logical sentences). We then make a grammatically correct sentence, changing the verb tense to match and fi

A monthly summer calendar of quick themed homework activities to work on categorizing, comparing/contrasting, describing, reasoning, and some written language. Adapted from My Speech Academy's (http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/My-Speech-Academy) Articulation Summer Homework Packet!

This is a quick drill idiom game for small groups (4 players max). Each idiom card has the idiom written and a short quote to put the idiom in some context. The goal is to earn as many stripes as you can by correctly interpreting idioms. Includes idiom cards (72 total), animal mats to draw stripes on (4 total), and alphabetic answer key. You will also need a black dry-erase marker. Allow each player to pick a character (bee, zebra, tiger, raccoon). Shuffle all idiom cards and the person wh

Start the school year off strong with a colorful display of speech room rules!

I made this to use with some of my students who struggle with combining sentences without using "and". This download includes: visual showing how to combine sentences without using "and" 10 sentences that can use adjectives or phrases 15 sentences that can use adjectives, adverbs, or phrases

I've got a good number of students that don't accurately distinguish between many vowel controlled r's, like "er" vs. "or" vs. "ar"... They often don't know how similar their pronunciations of "shirt" and "short" sound! So I made this for repeated practice with those sounds. No extra material needed (not even dice) except a game piece for each player! The object of the game is to collect each weather icon (lightning, sun, cloud, and moon). First person to collect all four wins! Each player

This is a game that targets basic category knowledge of colors and can be expanded to target other categories (food, animals, holidays, etc.) if desired. I also like to use it with my articulation groups to give them a little push toward generalization (they've gotta be thinking about something other than just their articulation). Basically, each student will need a game piece. They draw a color card (or bingo chips, which is what I usually use). They then advance their game piece to the nex

I made this as a quick plus/minus rating sheet for my artic students. It takes 1-2 minutes (I do it once a month or so) and it's easy for the student to see their progress over time! Works at either the word level or sentence level. If they're working at the sentence level, I have them imitate or make up a sentence with the word. I usually have the student rate themselves to work on self-monitoring, then I tell them if I agree or disagree. Includes sounds: r, th, s, l, sh Includes 5 words

I've been trying to find a way to encourage classroom practice for my middle school artic students in that reading/generalization stage. The students go to 6 different classes in a day and teachers have a lot going on without me adding to their workload. In order to get teachers on board, I made this as simple as can be for them! 1. The student takes as many slips as he/she wants at the end of the speech session. I (the speech therapist) fill out the student name and target on the top of the

Working in public schools, frequently I come across a few teachers who don't seem to understand WHY their student needs to come to speech therapy (or why not). Some impairments are more obvious than others (i.e. articulation vs receptive language), but sometimes they still don't know what to do to help in the classroom. This presentation is short, simple, and (hopefully) easy for teachers to remember and reference during the school year with their speech impaired students and/or potential re

With STAAR week coming up in Texas, it got me thinking about the multiple meanings of star/STAAR. Color coded by part of speech (red is verb, orange is noun, green is adjective). 8 meanings total! I'm planning on teaching each meaning, then having my students create sentences using 2 or more meanings of star/STAAR. Possibly pairing it with some sort of star craft.
