One of the biggest challenges I've had this year moving from private practice to school based therapy is how to effectively meet all my kiddos needs in groups.  My caseload/workload is considerably larger so often I meet with my kids in groups of 2-3 where appropriate.  In a perfect world all those kiddos in each group would be working on exactly the same goals but unfortunately this doesn't always work out.  So, I've had to adjust and create some activities to use with groups of kiddos working on different goals.  Here are my favorite (and easy!) go-to activities for mixed speech therapy groups! 1. Race to the Top!   This game is brand new!  I print a "game board" for each kiddo in the group. We discuss the goal we're working on and then get started.  Kiddos roll a dice, say the corresponding word (in words, phrases or sentences) using their correct speech sound and then color the block.  The first player that gets one column to the top wins.  One of...
I have posted two new Flip Book sets this week and have to say they've been a huge hit in the speech room!  Obviously you can use them to make a Flip Book (and send it home for homework) but we've used the picture cards for matching games, drill practice, and tasks before taking a turn for games! I've been printing them on bright, colorful paper which I think helps too.  The two packs were made for kiddos who have difficulty with speech sound production of vowels or final consonants. For each vowel sound/final consonant sound a sentence book and a silly phrase book is included.  I think by grouping vowel sounds or all the same final consonant sound we've seen some great progress!

Hi Friends!  Just popping in to share something new with you!  I have been brainstorming ways to help some of my older kiddos who are working on vocabulary skills (synonyms, antonyms, homographs and homophones). We've tried games and worksheets and let's just say they're less than amused. : )  So, I'm taking a new approach, interactive notebook!  I love that we can put something in the notebook and refer back to it when needed.  The last nine weeks we're going to hit vocabulary hard using these materials.  I just posted the HUGE pack to TPT too!  Here are some pictures to check it out!
