These visuals can be used in a variety of ways to complement the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff. They can be cut out and put on popsicle sticks to be used as puppets (or you can cut out the eyes to create masks) and used to have children retell or act out the story. As a Speech-Language Pathologist, I also use them to help teach the use of appropriate volume, rate of speech, and pitch. I have the small goat model a fast, high-pitched, and/or quiet voice, the medium goat model an ideal voi

I illustrated and retold the classic story of the 3 Little Pigs and the Big, Bad Wolf. I also sell an accompanying language activity pack in my TPT shop, which contains puppets, comprehension questions, and more!

A quick sorting game where a child reads or hears a scenario, and then has to decide if it describes someone who is being a "good sport" or a "bad sport". I created it for a child who is extremely competitive. This competitiveness causes some social issues for him at school. Additionally, he is often dysfluent (i.e., he stutters) and when he is trying to out-do others, his fluency issues get noticeably worse. Because of this, I am targeting his competitiveness as a fluency strategy (in additio

This is a visual I created last year to work on fluency goals with kindergarten-aged children who stutter. I found it to be useful when describing "smooth speech" (vs. repetitions or blocks) to children who stutter and for increasing their awareness of fluency in conversation.

I illustrated and retold the story of the 3 Little Pigs. This story is available in my TPT shop. This language package provides accompanying activities to use with the story. Included are: -Puppets and scenes to re-tell the story -Comprehension Questions (WH questions) -Following Directions (Includes: simple 1-2 step directions and directions containing location concepts, conditional concepts, and temporal concepts) -A board game which can be used to target any goal (e.g., articulation, language

I made a short story about Cat. He wants to go to space, so he builds a spaceship and goes to the moon. This story has simple language. It is great for young children or kids who have language delays. I used the word "I" many times throughout it as it is currently a word I am targeting with some children on my caseload who are working on that word (we are using Core Vocabulary strategies). In addition to the cute story, this language package includes:-Small versions of the pictures which can be

This is just a simple chart I made to be used with the game "Angry Birds: On Thin Ice" which I purchased at Chapters. It gives ideas for following directions, including simple 2 step-directions, directions with location concepts, directions with temporal concepts, and directions with conditional concepts.

I use these visuals for an easy articulation game I play with the children I work with. First, print, cut out, and laminate the mouse and the five houses. To play, I hide the mouse under one of the five houses. I also hide approximately 3-5 cards under each house with target words on them. Then the children take turns flipping over the houses and saying the target words they find underneath at the word, phrase, or sentence level. If they find the mouse, they get a point! One of my wonderful sp

I use these visuals for an easy articulation game I play with the children I work with. First, print, cut out, and laminate the ladybug and the four flowers. To play, I hide the ladybug under one of the flowers. I also hide approximately 3-5 cards under each flower with target words on them. Then the children take turns flipping over the flowers and saying the target words they find underneath at the word, phrase, or sentence level. If they find the ladybug, they get a point!
