St. Patrick's Day is ALMOST here, and I am SO excited to announce that FRANKIE IS BACK! I've teamed up (again) with some of my fav SLPs on TpT to bring you FREE St. Patrick's Day Speech Therapy materials! Seriously, we have your entire week planned out! I'm not sure if you joined us for our #slphalloween hop, #slpchristmashop, or #slpvalentinehop (just search those terms on TpT if not), but it's the PERFECT time to join in on the fun if you haven't already! Here's how it works. I created a super nerdy, kind of catchy story-song about a frog that adores St. Patty's Day (because, let's be honest... who doesn't?). You can sing this one to the tune of "The Ants Go Marching". Your students won't even mind if you don't have a great singing voice, I promise. Mine don't! You'll download and print your copy of the story/ song here ( and I'd be super, super excited if you left me feedback!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ),...

Hey guys! St. Patrick's Day is almost here, and you can BET that I'll be celebrating this fun holiday in my speech therapy room! Here are few activities you can try with your students... 1) If you're working on basic concepts, try this activity out to teach "more" vs "less". We just used construction paper and glue! 2. I've been on a roll with creating following directions sets, and my students are LOVING this St. Patrick's Day packet . You can grab it here . (This packet is also available in the holiday bundle . For seasonal themes, check this out ).  3. Leprechaun tic-tac-toe is so legit. This is easy to make. Laminate the board so you can write in any target you wish! We worked on vocalic /r/, but you could just as easily target idioms, categories, or anything else your heart desires! ...oh, and P.S. ... CHECK BACK SOON. I've been working hard with some SLP blogging buddies to bring you something special for St. Patty's Day.

I am SO, so excited because... FRANKIE'S BACK! In case you missed him at Halloween or Christmas ... click those links. Your fav frog is back, and I've again teamed up with some amazing SLP blogging buddies to bring you FREE Speech Therapy Valentine's Day activities ! As usual, it all starts with a song. Since my students absolutely love listening to me sing (I really haven't figured out why yet, my voice is terrrrrrible), the words in this story/ song combination pair perfectly with "The Wheels on the Bus". It's all about a frog named Frankie, just basically living the dream, and loving Valentine's Day. I included a color ink version for you, and a low ink version for your students to take home. Download the story here . Somehow, every time I write these nerdy song/stories, my SLP friends can create incredible materials to go along with them! So, here we go... The Speech Owl created phonemic awareness activities for you that your students are going ...

I'm incredibly passionate about correcting lisps . I've blogged about this before, created a Correct that Lisp packet , and even put up videos talking about my favorite ways to correct a lisp ! Oh, and just so you know... I can never say enough about Sandra Holtzman . I took her 28 hour continuing education course on orofacial myology, and then worked with her while creating my lisp packet. She's brilliant, and her approaches have made me a more confident- and competent- therapist. I know how frustrating it can be to correct a lisp. I also know how incredible it is when you do correct a lisp- and trust me, it is DEFINITELY doable! My new mission is to seriously help all SLPs correct that lisp  like a boss. The other day, I was working with a student who has made phenomenal progress. This student mastered correct lingual placement of /s/. To do this, I like to use a coffee straw or a wet Q-tip to provide some feedback. After that, we moved on to the whispered /t/. This i...

You'll love these themed cards, which target a variety of embedded concepts, and are also available in the following directions holiday bundle. Next, we have had SO much fun working on conversational turn taking skill...

For our Halloween speech therapy blop hop, I wrote a story/ song about a frog named Frankie who was obsessed with candy. This time, Frankie is back! Read this as a story if you'd like- or sing! The words pair perfectly with "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" for even more holiday fun! I've included a color version and a low...
