Carrotville: Spring Expressive Language Games
This 38 page download features Carrotville, a nice little town where bunnies live and play. It features homes, apartments, a grocery store and even a bunny barbershop! The activities center around the Carrotville board game. Two ways to play are included. The first option features specific skill development, while the second features carryover of language skills by targeting mixed stimulus cards. Game point and score cards are included. Each type of building corresponds to a language activity to complete. When students land on a building they answer the corresponding questions.
The games are called 'In your shoes.' The download includes 3 games: Problem Solving 1 & 2 and Perspective Taking. They feature these cute shoe graphics from KPM doodles. The problem solving games include social situations that require the student to identify a solution. I use this large graphic in the middle of the table to remind the kids to identify the problem and the solution! The game cards are tennis shoes with a social problem listed. For example: A new student came to school today. He’s standing near the lunch line looking nervous.. What could you do? The level one cards are appropriate for students in grades k-4, but depending on developmental level they may work for your older students as well. Level 2 problem solving includes social problems appropriate for students in grades 4-8. For example: Chad wants to play football and be in band. They have practice after school at the same time. What should he do?
The perspective taking cards encourage kids to imagine themselves in someone else's shoes! You can use them to open discussion about empathy and making decisions based on others feelings. Theory of mind is such a difficult skill to teach, but it's fun when it clicks! The lack of perspective taking skills can really impact the kids ability to be sensitive to others and identify how others are feeling and reacting in a conversation. The shoe cards each have a social situation. The students can identify how different people in the situation would feel. For example: Kennedy and Jordan both had their birthday parties last week and you only went to Kennedy’s. How does Jordan feel?The games each come with these ' Gum on your Shoes' cards. They can help make the activity seem like more of a game if you need to use them!

Ultimate Data Collection Binder for Speech and Language
The perfect tool for DATA COLLECTION, all aligned to the Common Core State Standards! This comprehensive binder has everything you need to easily collect data over several trials and sessions, whether for students on IEPs or with RtI. Developed out of my own need for easy and efficient data collection, this product quickly gathers baselines, progress, strengths and weaknesses over multiple sessions in the areas of Phonological Awareness, Grammar, Vocabulary, Language and Articulation. I am soooo excited about the newest collection to my Common Core family because I just know it will keep you organized and save you valuable time.
Perfect for diverse articulation groups! Contains over 20 plays for groups of 2-4 students targeting the most difficult sounds to master.
Readers’ Theater is an evidence-based strategy for improving reading fluency. In Readers' Theater, students rehearse reading a script repeatedly to prepare for a later performance for peers or other audiences. Students are assigned parts or roles for performing the reading of the play's text. Research supports the use of Readers’ Theater to increase fluency, intonation and confidence. (Martinez, Roser, and Strecker, 1999 and Griffin and Rasinski, 2004).
This packet contains over 20 plays for diverse articulation groups! It is perfect for those students who need a little extra boost in practicing sounds at the reading and conversation level. Contains both a student copy and a therapist copy for easy data tracking. Tried and tested on my own students! I've found that this method:
1. helps my students remember their correct sounds
2. provides practice for using appropriate tone of voice and intonation
3. improves their confidence, especially if they can then perform for a small audience.

Appropriate Conversation Topics, Appropriate Conversation Partners
Often when I work with students who have a deficit with social skills, I find that it is important to teach them about appropriate conversation topics and the people whom it is appropriate to talk about certain subjects with. In addition, it is important to discuss conversation topics that are inappropriate to talk about with certain groups of people, especially strangers even if they are a "safe stranger". This 43 page packet aims to help teach students about different groups of people we talk to on a regular basis, appropriate conversation topics, and inappropriate conversation topics with certain groups of people.
Included in the packet:
- A visual chart with four different conversational groups
- Conversation topic strips/quotation strips to place onto the visual in regards to the appropriate group to discuss the topic/use the quote with
- A social skills story to teach students more about conversation partners and appropriate conversation topics
- A visual of "People I Talk To" for students to write people they are comfortable speaking with in four different conversational groups

Lights, Camera, Inference! No Print & Print Movie Scene Themed Language Lessons
Included in this lesson are three activities as follows:
No Print – 48 Diverse Scenes to Develop Inferencing Skills! This lesson is designed for NO PRINT and can be viewed on the Smart Board, computer or Ipad when downloaded and opened. Two to three questions are provided for each scene to answer requiring students to inference and problem solve.
Movie Scene Cards – Thee you can print! – 48 similar scenes to the no print activity with questions that require students to inference. This was designed for small group instruction and so they could be used adequately as card movie scenes. I did make these with color backgrounds and NO color backgrounds. The color backgrounds are for the ‘movie experience’ and the NO color are for if you need to conserve ink or for students that you may want to send practice activities home to.
Print and Go – Movie Scene Inferencing Black and White Mini-book ‘You Are the Director’ – 28 scene mini-book that can be used for instruction, carry-over or review. No color, easy printing.

-2 stories that use the idioms in context
-a fill in the blank worksheet w/ an answer key
-a worksheet to practice creating an original sentence using 5 of the new idioms
