It's A Cyber Monday Sale!

 

Thank you to Jenna Rayburn from Speech Room News for hosting the 'What's In Your Cart?' link up!

It's that time of year...TIME TO SHOP!  Good news...you can get some amazing speech and language materials for up to 28% off this Monday and Tuesday!  It's TPT's Cyber Monday Sale.  This means that most sellers will be listing their stores at 20% off.  TPT will also give you a promo code for an additional 10% off of the discounted price. 

There are thousands of materials on TPT, so what should you choose?  Here are some of my suggestions and some of the materials that I will be buying this Monday!

One of my newest products is the  

Christmas Language & Articulation No Print Games. 

No Print games are perfect for any SLP on the run, without time or with students who like using iPads! Simply download to your iPad and you are ready to go!

This specific product addresses six goals: Articulation, Prepositions, Pronouns, Categories, WH Questions and Following Directions.  Students love working on their goals with these activities! 

Another one of my favorite materials for speech therapy is the

 Articulation Homework Flipbooks.  

These make homework easy and fun for students and the best part...SEND HOMEWORK HOME ONCE!  

Each flipbook addresses one sound in the initial and final positions and from the sound level up to the conversation level. Students check off a box for each day they practice. Once all 15 boxes are checked off, they rip off the page, bring in their completed paper and then move on to the next stage! 

If you need a fun activity for the winter, I recommend my 

Articulation Snowflakes!  

Let your students make all types of snowflakes while practicing their artic!

Here are some more recommendations!

This Holiday Homonyms: Build A Santa game is adorable and looks like a blast!  It's interactive, contains 40 homonym cards and students get to build their own Santa!

I love how this Receptive & Expressive Language Pack addresses multiple goals while also having a cute, winter theme!  It includes color, cut & paste following directions, description bingo, pronoun fill ins & coloring!  

Made By Tami from TLC Talk Shop

Another activity that I am excited to add to my repertoire is the Dough Daubers: Words & Meanings!  This activity pack also addresses multiple goals such as antonyms, synonyms, homonyms, heteronyms & idioms.  Students get to play with play dough mats & daubers! 

Made by Kristin from Talkin' With Twang

What student doesn't love puzzles?! This 3 Step Sequence Card pack addresses two different levels of sequencing...puzzles for students who need a little more help and squares to make the task a little harder.  Students will love these!

Made by Beth Bueker from Firefly Speech & Language

This is another fun and interactive winter game for prepositions!  In the Penguin Prepositions pack, students get to place 'Penny the Penguin' in different areas and then answer questions about where she is.  Not only will they have fun, but it also includes a data tracking sheet!  

I hope you enjoy shopping on Monday...I know I will!

Santa's List for Speech & Language

Thank you to Ashley from Sweet Southern Speech for hosting this linky!  

Shopping for gifts for your kids can be fun, but also exhausting!  There are so many toys, games and books to choose from! How do you know which ones to get?  

I tend to shop for gifts that my kids love, but also something that they can learn from.  This doesn't mean getting them flash cards...it means being 'sneaky' and getting them something that they have fun with while learning!  Here are some of my favorite gifts that my 4 year old loves!

ALEX Toys Craft Giant Art Jar 

What Is It: 
This is a giant jar of craft supplies!  If your child loves crafts, this is the perfect gift! It includes felt shapes, craft sticks, google eyes, buttons, spools, colored and textured papers, glue and much more!

Why She Likes It: 
 When my daughter received it for her birthday, she was ecstatic!  In the past month (since her birthday), she has made countless arts & crafts, used her imagination and of course learned a few things along the way. 

What It Can Address:
Describing, Colors, Shapes, Sequencing, Following Directions & More! Here are some things that I do with her during 'craft' time.

1) I have her describe what she is making or what she made.  We talk about the colors, the sizes, the functions of the craft and what she likes about it. 

2) I also have her follow directions to make something new or have her give me directions on how to make something.

Pop the Pig 

What Is It: 
 Kids spin the spinner, pop a hamburger into the pig's mouth, then pump his head. The more they pump, the more his belly grows until . . . pop!

Why She Likes/Wants It: 
This is a gift that is on her 'wishlist'.  She gets so excited when she sees this game on a commercial.  I can't wait to give it to her and actually play it!

What It Can Address:
Articulation, Following Directions, Turn Taking, Conversations & More
Here's how I plan on playing the game with her.

1) I will have her work on following directions and turn taking...she's in preschool, so that is something that we are still working on :) 

2) If your child is working on articulation, have them say their sound 5X before each turn. 

Press Here Book

What It Is: 

Each page contains instructions on what to do.  The reader can press the dots, tilt the book, shake the pages and more!  As you turn the page, something new and exciting happens!  

Why She Likes It:

My daughter thinks it's so cool that she can 'make' the pages change if she correctly follows the directions.  We have read this book so many times, but we still laugh and have a blast with it!

What It Can Address: 

 Following Directions, Reading, Vocabulary, Colors

Here's what I do with my daughter while reading this book.

1) I don't have to think...The directions are all there!  All I do is read the book and she automatically learns! 

I hope this helps you with your holiday shopping list!  What some of your favorite gifts?
