Last week we talked about what play routines are and how I choose the activities/toys to create a play routine (you can find that post here). This week we will discuss what a play routine looks like and how I implement play routines. Firstly let’s begin with an example of what a play routine looks […]
The use of routines is one of the simplest ways an adult (parent/caregiver/therapist/educator, etc.) can facilitate language growth in young children. This is especially true for children between 1-3 years of age (or children functioning between this developmental age range).

Here’s another category sorting game I made simply using clip art from Microsoft PPT. I needed more pictures to work with my language delayed kiddos who needed support for their semantic networks. So I made another categories game. This packet includes 9 insect and musical instrument pictures, and 30 additional transportation pictures that can be […]
Oh subject/verb agreement is one of those grammar skills we as SLPs seem to work on forever sometimes to teach the unwritten rules of language.

There are so many things I love about this book: the personification of the clothing, the gross body movements we have fun making while reading, sequencing parts of the story, […]
I’ve been working on regular and irregular past tense verb with one of my clients. So I made these worksheets for us to use. Firstly, I introduced the rule of regular past tense (‘ed), then we discussed exceptions to the rules. After a few sessions of practice, I read these sentences aloud to see if […]
