Send us a textWith fall just around the corner, we know many teachers and SLPs are eager to bring in some fall-themed books into their classrooms and therapy sessions. However, not every fall-themed book is going to give you the content you need to work on a student’s specific goals. That’s why during our deep dive episodes, we like to select books that are fun and engaging while also having relevant speech and language goals and key concepts to use with your students. So, during this episode...
Send us a textA common theme that many teachers use at some point during the school year is a farm theme. With the opportunity to talk about animals, farm life, work responsibilities, and so much more, this theme provides students with elements of fun and learning. Children’s authors also love writing about farm life and farm animals, which can be used to teach students about a new way of living while incorporating their favorite farm animals. However, not all farm-themed books are great for ...
Send us a textWe love it when we can find a series by a specific author that meets all of our key concepts, speech sounds, and language goals to use with our students during speech therapy sessions. And one series we can’t stop using with our students is Wendi Silvano’s Turkey series. One of the things we enjoy most about this series is that all of her books are written with a different focused theme so that you can use them throughout the school year. In today’s episode, we’re diving into We...
Send us a textWith back-to-school season upon us, we love incorporating books with that theme into our speech therapy sessions. There are so many wonderful books out there, but we always go back to a classic favorite, Pete the Cat. This fun, loveable, and fan-favorite is a classic read for a reason, but it also has great key concepts to work on with your students. In today’s episode, we’re doing a deep dive using Pete the Cat: Rocking in My School Shoes by James Dean and sharing how to effect...
Send us a textIt’s hard to believe, but back-to-school is just around the corner. And the start of a new school year can stir up a lot of emotions in kids, especially those who are starting school for the first time. Therefore, it’s nice to have some books to incorporate into your speech therapy sessions that help relieve their stress and show how school can be a fun and safe place for kids. Two books we think do a great job of showcasing those ideas are Our Class is a Family by Shannon Olsen...
Send us a textDo you know that amazing feeling of discovering a cute, engaging book that meets all your literacy concepts? That was us when we discovered Neck & Neck by Elise Paisley! Once we read this fun, zoo-themed book, we instantly loved it and wanted to use it during our speech therapy sessions. Since we love this book so much, we’re doing a deep dive using Neck & Neck to highlight the key concepts you can use and show you why we’re pulling this book off our shelves. Resources M...
Send us a textIn last week’s episode, we shared some of our favorite /s/ sound picture books, and there are so many more books that we love, so we decided to do another episode with the same topic! However, the slight difference in this episode is that we’re sharing books that have /s/ blends, mixed, or recurring /s/ sound words. This list we’ve created has engaging books with high-frequency /s/ sounds in the content, not just the titles. We’re so excited to share more of our favorite /s/ sou...
Send us a textWhen working with students on their speech sounds, especially in a literacy-based approach, it’s important to incorporate books with those sounds for students to practice with. We spend a lot of our episodes going over books with specific themes or literacy concepts, so we wanted to dedicate a few episodes focusing on books with high-frequency speech sounds. The first speech sound is the /s/ sound. So, in today’s episode, we’re sharing our favorite /s/ sound picture books that y...
Send us a textWe had so much to talk about with Elizabeth that we kept her around to talk about more things related to Speech-Language Pathologists! Elizabeth has a passion for reading and decoding, which is why she decided to specialize in those two areas, along with being Orton-Gillingham certified. Therefore, we picked Elizabeth’s brain so that she could share her knowledge and experience in those areas. So, in today’s episode, Elizabeth shares how to implement the Orton-Gillingham approac...
Send us a textAs speech-language pathologists, we focus a lot of our time with students on developing their speech and oral language. However, an aspect that we’re starting to focus on is reading. Even though reading is in our wheelhouse, research has shown that SLPs feel less confident in teaching or focusing on it during their speech therapy sessions. Our guest on the podcast, Elizabeth Doherty, is a private practice SLP in NYC who also has associate-level training through the Orton-Gilling...
Send us a textAs Speech Language Pathologists we love when we can use a book series with our students during our speech therapy sessions. Book series are typically written with the same theme in mind and structured the same way while also encompassing a variety of speech sounds and key concepts. Therefore, it’s no surprise that we love using Kate Messner’s Over and Under book series. In this episode, we’re sharing why we love this series, a description of each book, and how we’d use it in spe...
Send us a textKids are excited and eager to try new things, but they can also have an internal struggle of feeling scared, nervous, or anxious about their new experiences. Summer often brings these new experiences for kids, so it’s helpful for them to read books about characters going through the same things. Jabari Jumps is the perfect book for this because it’s a fun and relatable summer-themed book that also teaches kids lessons. In today’s episode, we’re doing a deep dive into using Jabar...
Send us a textWhat’s one thing kids love to have as a nice, sweet, cool treat in the summer? Ice cream! When it’s hot outside, and kids have been playing or at the pool all day, it’s refreshing to have a scoop of ice cream to top off their day. So why not bring that same excited feeling into your speech therapy session? By incorporating ice cream theme books, you can help get students excited about summer break while working on their speech and language goals. In this episode, we’re doing a t...
Send us a textWith summer just around the corner, it’s easy to start dreaming about days on the beach and playing in the sand. So why not get your students excited about the freedom and fun of summer by incorporating beach-themed picture books in your speech therapy sessions? We thought the exact same thing, which is why we wanted to give you all the best selections for this very fun theme. In today’s episode, we’re sharing our favorite beach-themed books to help bring in some fun while teach...

Send us a textWith the weather getting nice and families starting to spend more time outside, we wanted to bring that energy into your speech therapy sessions. A lot of families spend the spring and summer months camping and enjoying the outdoors, which is why we're doing a "this or that" episode with camping books. So, in today's episode, we've chosen the books Scaredy Squirrel and The Camping Trip and are deciphering which book is best used for your speech therapy students. Resources Mentio...
Send us a textDoing anything in a theme immediately makes it more fun! And using themed picture books to go over speech and language goals with your students is no exception. We’ve shared a lot of these types of episodes with you in the past because we love putting together lists of our favorite books to use with different themes. With the weather becoming nicer and kids spending more time outside and exploring nature, we knew this theme was perfect. So in today’s episode, we’re sharing our f...
Send us a textWith summer just around the corner, many of you might be thinking about or already planning on hosting a literacy-based summer camp. These are wonderful opportunities to do something new and fun while still helping kids work on their literacy, language, and phonics concepts. After hosting a few ourselves, we know the most effective routine, how to handle the logistics, and ways to add in some fun and engaging crafts for the kids. So, in today’s episode, we’re sharing how to stru...
Send us a textWhen we find a book series we like, we consume all of the books they have to offer and find ways to incorporate them into our speech therapy sessions. One book series that’s gaining popularity and we’re enjoying right now is the Mother Bruce book series. There are 9 books in total, with 3 Little Bruce books as well. Just a heads up that we’re not discussing all of the books in the series because we believe that 4 are better to be read at home or for a fun read-aloud in the class...
Send us a textAs a busy SLP, we know that you serve a variety of students of various ages, abilities, skill levels, and interests. So, it’s part of our goal to make sure we’re providing you with the right tools and books to best serve your students in speech therapy. A group we don’t typically cover is books for early intervention and preschool-aged children. Last week, we had Jenna Rayburn on the podcast, where she shared which books are best for preschool students. This got us thinking abou...
