NEW PRODUCT!!! $2.00 OFF for a LIMITED TIME





This AMAZING bundle is so versatile, you can’t live without it! There are 72 picture cards available in color and black/white.  Picture cards are also available with words printed underneath in ALL CAPS and all lowercase letters, which makes them useful for preschool as well as the early elementary years.  There are also 72 other word cards (verbs, prepositions and adjectives) included.  Word cards are color-coded but also available in black/white (and in upper/lowercase sets).  There are  15 fill-in-the-blank sentence strips and sentence starters as well as 4 additional blank sentence strips available!!! A NO-PRINT activity with multiple choice question prompts and individual/group data sheets are also included in this irresistible bundle!


So how many different ways can you use these materials? A LOT!!! Here are some examples of how I used them in therapy:

qFor students working with assistive technology (with dynamic displays), I have been using these sentences strip set to have students practice finding new vocabulary on their devices and sequencing the sentences.  Because the “word finder” on the program my students are using has a basic QWERTY keyboard, I use the word and picture cards that have ALL CAPS so my younger students can match the letters independently as they search for words.  This has been an amazing tool to help my students with assistive technology generalize their skills and become more independent when using their devices outside of therapy

qI have several students who have significant difficulty answering basic “what” and “where” questions.  So I have been providing them with multiple choice picture responses (as you have seen in some of my other products.  For students who are working on answering questions and using sentences – use the picture cards to create a multiple-choice picture response set (4-6 pictures).  After you ask the question, have the student place the picture card (and other word cards as necessary) on the sentence strip and say the sentence about the target picture (e.g. What can you eat? –I eat the apple).

qFor students working on word relationships, this bundle offers a fantastic array of pictured items that can help student practice associations, categorization/exclusion and comparing/contrasting.  There are sentence starters to help student organize their response when explain how items go together and/or differ from one another.

qUse these cards for writing supports for students who struggle to form a sentence.  The word cards can be used in conjunction with the picture cards to have students practice sequencing parts of a sentence first then transfer it to writing.  The picture cards and NO-PRINT activity can also be used as writing prompts to help students who need visual to help them come up with sentences.

Stop, Swap and Roll



Welcome to the Stop, Swap and Roll linky hosted by Jungle Learners!

Stop, Swap and Roll

I had the pleasure of being paired with Amy from 180 Days of Reading for this blog swap and I could be more excited! She was kind enough to send me her Spelling and Word Work Bundle, which offers decoding and spelling practice for a variety of decoding patterns.  


Ultimate Bundle

More than 30 skills are covered with this bundle! Each skill has 5 print and play engaging activities that kids LOVE!  And as a speech therapist I love that many of these activities can ALSO be used to address articulation and vocabulary skills!!!

I am so lucky to be able to share a room with the special education teacher, Nicole Silverwood, for kindergarten and 1st grade.  We used the activities from this pack in a variety of ways and definitely saw the value and versatility in the products Amy creates.  Nicole was able to use this activity to target IEP goals as well as intervention targets for her RtI groups.  Kids loved the activities and were very engaged throughout the session.  It gave Nicole the chance to see who could apply the decoding skills they have been taught without the pressure of reading words from a list.  She kept a data sheet separately to track words that each kid read or had difficulty with for IEP progress monitoring, which also allowed her to see how the decoding skills generalized to other contexts when practicing.


During speech therapy sessions, I was able to use many of the activities from this bundle to practice speech sounds my students are working on while reinforcing decoding.  For the students who have language goals, I used these games to work on vocabulary development and grammar/syntax.  For example, with the Roll, Read and Write activity, I had students roll the die and use the word in a sentence and or describe/define.  We also used the Roll, Read and Write board to come up with associated words and details about each word.  This is critical for developing word retrieval and language processing skills for my students. 


Because we are so excited about using this bundle in a variety of ways (as a spec ed teacher and speech therapist), Amy is giving away her Spelling and Word Work UNLIMITED Bundle!  Enter the Rafflecopter below for a chance to win!

Make sure you head on over to 180 Days of Reading to see my Mushroom Patch UNO Bundle in action
