Speech Worksheets for the Whole Year

Who doesn’t love a good theme for therapy?  I like to have a general idea of what topics I am going to hit during the school year, leaving some flexibility for student interests and current topics/events.  You can fit all kinds of different activities for all varieties of goals into almost any theme.  So even working with a variety of ages (grades K – 5th for me) and individual needs, I can still stick to the same overall themes and differentiate based on abilities and needs.

Seasonal

I start with my four main units based on seasons: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer.  These are my main themes and I work in holidays and other units in between them as I can.

Over in my store, I have tons of products and bundles based around each season that are little to no prep and ready to go.

Speech Language Calendar of Activities

For my younger classes and full-time ESE classes, I like to collaborate with the teachers on what themes they are using to help carry over these concepts.  A lot of time times, at the beginning of the year, we will do a unit on the sun and moon, weather, and seasons.  Working together to make sure we are using the same vocabulary and concepts is a huge help to our kids and keeps everyone on the same page.  Working together is beneficial for everyone involved!

Articulation Activities – Preschool

We all know that preschoolers do not have the longest attention spans and it can be difficult to keep them on task for a significant period of time.  So typical drill, at the therapy table therapy, is probably not going to be the way to go.  So instead, we play! Play therapy will get you the most bang for your buck, especially with these littles. 

Here is an example of using play therapy, following the child’s lead (in this case my son, age 3), and using their interests to lead therapy planning.

Anything to keep their little hands busy!

My daughter found these cute blocks in the dollar spot at Target one day and we got some for home and for my kiddos at school.  There are so many possibilities with these… keeping hands busy while waiting their turns, earning pieces for each number of trials, roll a dice for pieces on each turn, etc.  I love watching what my students think up to make!
