Free speech therapy worksheets and activities (articulation, receptive/expressive language) for speech-language pathologists, teachers, parents.
So quick an easy - just grab 2 dice and print your specific Language Dice activity sheet and you are ready to go!!!! Have the student roll the dice. Look at the sheet and use one die to go across and one to go down. Find where they match up and that is the square that the student must do. (Note: sometimes there can be more than one option - Options add variety and you can let the student choose the one they wish). Once done, the student can color it in, dab it or put a marker on it. Shake N’ Say Language Dice Bundle can be used a variety of ways: *Play Bingo with the sheets – use either chips or a dauber for more fun!! *Use individually, in small groups or with the whole class. *Use some of the Wh- question pages as a “getting to know you” activity or pragmatics activity. *Use for home practice or summer practice *Use the blank line to write in what you expect them to do on their turn Includes Antonyms Associations Categories Compare/Contrast Compound Words Functions Homophones Idioms/Fig. Lang Irregular Plural Nouns Irregular Verbs Multiple Meaning Words Name the Parts of… Regular Past Tense Verbs Regular Plural Noun Steps: Describe How To Synonyms What Questions Specific What Questions Varied When Questions Specific Where Questions Specific Who Questions Specific Why Questions Specific Wh- Questions Mixed Would You Rather Blank Template Various Answer Sheets
Try pronouncing the words from left to right and see if you can feel where the sounds are being produced!
This is a PowerPoint I made to work on receptively identifying items from a choice of three when given an object function (which one do you eat, which one do you wear, which one is used for cutting, etc). When you view it as a slide show and click on the correct link, you hear applause and it moves to the next slide (I think... it's been awhile since I made this). You can also print each page and have the child tell you the correct answer. Or print them 4 slides per page and cut out and use as flash cards. Click here to download!
I was flipping through a recent edition of Mailbox Magazine and saw this adorable frog template. The magazine featured a different activity for the frog, but I thought it would make a great articulation craftivity! Here's what you need: Frog Template (HERE is a cute one from DLTK kids.com if you don't get Mailbox) Small articulation (or vocabulary) pictures Red construction paper, cut into strips Scissors Crayons Glue Paper clips (optional) To create the small articulation pictures, I used Lesson Pix. If you haven't used Lesson Pix yet, head on over and try it out (you can give it a test run before subscribing, but it's well worth the $36.00/year subscription fee!) Lesson Pix has a sound finder feature, which I used to get target words for my articulation groups. I created picture cards with the 35 pictures/page option: I colored the frog and lilypad and cut the frog's mouth out. Then I attached the strip of paper to the backside of the frog and glued the pictures on his tongue. You can roll up the frog's tongue and hold it together with a paper clip. This will give it a curly shape even after you remove the paper clip. Kids can practice their words as they unroll the frog's tongue. Other Ways to Use This Craft: Open Ended - You could get some bug stickers and have kids stick the stickers on the frog's tongue for each X number of desired responses (language or artic). Patterning - Use the frog's tongue as a pattern strip (e.g., fly, beetle, fly, beetle) Concepts - Start with a bug in the center of the frog's tongue. Have students glue more bugs "above" or "below" the first. Sequencing - Find small pictures (or use your photocopier to reduce) of steps of a sequence. Have students cut out and glue to the frog's tongue in the correct order. I found some frog life cycle sequencing pictures on Enchanted Learning and Making Learning Fun. What else would you have kids glue to the frog's tongue? I'd love to hear your ideas!

I have four different packets for my No Frills Articulation activities: No Frills Articulation: S and Z No Frills Articulation: TH No Frills Articulation: L No Frills Articulation: Sh and Ch I also have a bundle of the above activities for 21% off of what you would pay for all four activities. Plus, you will have access to any future No Frills Articulation activities that I post (there are two in the works). No Frills Articulation: Bundle Here is what a No Frills Articulation packet looks like: Memory Cards (72 cards): There are 12 cards for each sound in all three positions of words (initial, medial, final). Print two copies of the cards. Laminate and cut out to play a memory game. Phrase Worksheets (6 worksheets): There are three worksheets for each sound in all positions of words. Students can read or repeat the phrases. There is a spot to record the number of correct responses at the bottom of the page. Sentences Worksheets (6 worksheets): There are three worksheets for each sound in all positions of words. Students can read or repeat the sentences. There is a spot to record the number of correct responses at the bottom of the page. Story Worksheets (6 worksheets): There are three worksheets for each sound in all positions of words.

I have put all of the pdf's for these packets on my iPad, and it is a great way to have a portable library of words, phrases, sentences, and stories for the targeted sounds. I hope you like these packets as much as my students and I do! Jen

I am working with one of my high school aged clients on producing comments to show that he is actively listening. I am going to first have him identify whether what I said is something that requires a positive, negative, or neutral response. Then, he can choose any comment on this list to reply before I continue my story. As he gets better, I will pause the story and wait for him to produce a comment on his own.
