Many students will return to school this week in the Atlanta area and other school districts will begin the new school year soon. This is a great time to gather new speech language therapy resources for students on your caseload with communication disorders.
Thanks to Jenna at Speech Room News for hosting a “linky party” for SLPs to share their instructional recommendations for items in the Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) online marketplace.
From my TPT store, I recommend my back to school theme products that target vocabulary and grammar skills. They may be used as a pre-assessment to collect baseline or beginning of the year data. They may also be used during guided instruction after a SLP or teacher mini-lesson about synonyms, antonyms, irregular plural nouns, irregular past tense verbs, homophones, and homographs.
You may purchase these here:
I learned about a new resource to gather pre-assessment data and monitor my students’ progress throughout the year. I plan on purchasing:
Natalie Synder’s Language Progress Monitoring Tool (Upper Level) for Speech Language Therapy. This will be a great supplement to my baseball themed vocabulary and grammar data collection tools that are also available in my TPT store.
These resources will also be great:
Kristine Nannini’s Beginning of the Year Team Building Activities. This will allow my students an opportunity to get to know each other while practicing their language skills.
Tech N Talk SLP’s On the Mark Quick Check- Idioms & Figurative Language. This will allow me to assess my 5th grade language therapy students’ knowledge and retention of skills taught last year.
Nicole Allison’s No Print Bundle Pack . I can download this on my I PAD and save in I Books to address my students’ receptive, expressive, and social language learning objectives.
That’s what I will be adding to my SLP tool kit this year! TPT will have a 10 % off sale Monday, 8/4th and Tuesday 8/5th. I have marked my products down an additional 10 %, so you will receive a 20 % discount when you shop in my store.
Have a great week!
