Interactive Illustrated Idioms Review

Image
I have so many students on my caseload who struggle with understanding figurative language. It's not always easy to find engaging materials to target this skill, and so many of my students are at different levels. Some have goals to match an idiom to the correct meaning, others have goals to state the correct meaning of an idiom. Some benefit from picture supports, while other students on my caseload need more of a challenge. Let's face it- as SLPs, we're used to being flexible! I was so excited when I received my Interactive Illustrated Idioms from SpeechPage in the mail. First of all, they are colorful and fun, but not too "babyish". I used these cards with my 4th and 5th grade students, and trust me, they would have let me know if they thought the illustrations were "too young" for them. Next, these cards are pre-cut and pre-laminated. I don't have to go into great detail about why I find that AWESOME! Third, these cards are super easy to store.
