In the Tall, Tall Grass by Denise Fleming is a colorful fun read aloud written from a caterpillar's point of view. With rhyme, rich language and simple text this is a wonderful book to share with students this Spring. So let's spring forward with 10 different goals you can target using "In the Tall, Tall Grass" for your speech and language therapy groups this Spring. Speech and Language Targets: Vocabulary Development "In the Tall, Tall Grass" is written in primarily Tier 1 vocabulary but does include several Tier 2 concepts that provides opportunities to expand on language as well as allow for explicit instruction. You can target concepts such as: dart, sip, strum, hum, flap, glide, scurry, flop, lug, glow, swoop, and loop. Encourage students to make text-to-self connections by asking questions such as, "The hummingbird sips nectar. What drink do you like to sip? Why do you think the hummingbird only takes small sips?" You can also have students act out or demonstrate new verb concepts such as: "strum and flap." In addition, the simple text also includes concepts that are multi-meaning words. "Dart" is both a noun (a sharp item to throw) and a verb (move quickly across a short distance). "Dip" can also be a multi-meaning word. As noun, the condiment is eaten with chips. As a verb, the bird dips (drops) down quickly. Phonemic Awareness Written in rhyme, "In the Tall, Tall Grass" is perfect for identifying rhyming words, choral reading, and expanding on word families (ex: dip, ship, sip, trip, flip, hip, etc.). Students can also also segment and blend CVC words (ex: s-i-p, t-a-ll, h-u-m, b-ee-s, l-u-g, etc.), and add or delete onset/rime with consonant blends (gr-ass, cr-unch, str-um, dr-um, cr-ack, sn-ap, and fl-ap). Wh-Questions Students can answer basic comprehension questions by answering "what? when? which one? where?" and "why?" questions related to the text. Wh-questions can relate to story details ("Where and when does the story take place?), vocabulary ("What does the word ___ mean in the sentence ___?"), story sequence ("What did the hummingbird do after it darted and dipped?"), and inference questions ("When you look at the illustrations, what do you think the ants are pulling and tugging?). Text-to-Self Connections and Story-related crafts Most students have a story to tell when it comes to bugs. Either they've stomped on one, caught one and kept it for a pet, or have been on a bug hunt. I've included a Pin from my Pinterest board for a fun "Build-a-Bug" Craft that my students enjoyed. Students can request, sequence, problem-solve, describe, label, compare, and much more. Students can also illustrate and write a personal narrative based on an experience they have had with bugs or create a work of fiction and share their story about a bug. Sequence and Summary Many of my students have narrative retell goals and main idea goals. Students can identify the main idea and details, and retell the story events using a graphic organizer with "Beginning-Middle-End" or with "Main Idea and Details." Using a visual organizer will help students organize their ideas for retell. Students may also need support and prompts to add details to their descriptions. Syntax and Morphology There are more than one of each item described throughout "In the Tall, Tall Grass" . Students can identify the regular plural nouns (caterpillars, beetles, hummingbirds, bees, ants, snakes, moles, ears, wings, fireflies, bats, starts), and Noun-Verb agreement phrases and sentences (ex: moles scratch, beetles hurry, wings hum, etc.). You can also have students produce both the singular and plural forms of the phrases for more practice (example: one snake/many snakes). Articulation Word lists can be generated from the story and can include /r, l, s, k, g, f/ in initial, medial and final position of words, as well as consonant blends. Here is a list /l/ words to target before, during and after reading. tall caterpillar lunch flap pull lug slip slide glide moles beetles flop fireflies glow lunge loop moonlight "In the Tall, Tall Grass" by Denise Fleming is quick read aloud with lots of opportunities for rich language instruction. It is a high interest topic many children will be able to relate to. This story would be great read aloud to pair with a sensory box full of plastic bugs or cute bug craft. If you have used this story in your therapy, I'd love to hear from you. leave a comment below and share this post with someone you think can benefit from these ideas.

Planning for Teletherapy can be so challenging and time consuming! Here is a list of all of my favorite tele-therapy websites to help make planning easier!
I've been realllllly enjoying the weather lately…it's been 80 degrees and beautiful at my house! Of course, I need to have some new, springy activities for my students! We have been doing the garden theme and I decided we would make snails!
If you know me in person or follow me on social media, you know that I’m a serial consumer of information. Books, podcasts, the works. And not just SLP stuff (though that’s great too).

Games! Games! Games! It is one of the reasons I love being an SLP. The tricky part is turning commercial games into therapy tools. My students love to play games, so what better way to motivate them to practice their speech targets. I love to use Pop Up Pirate, Jumpin Jack, Shark Bite, Pop the Pig, the Sneaky Snacky Squirrel, Yeti in my Spaghetti and Fishing games. One way you can use them is with articulation or language decks. The students practice their sounds or language target and then take a turn. Quick and easy. I have also started to use Game Companions that go along with each game. These game companions replace the dice or spinner that comes with the games. The spinners have targets that the students practice before they take turn. Shark Articulation and Language Game Companion For the games that do not use dice or spinners I use game mats that have articulation or language targets on them. When you remove game pieces from Fishing games or spaghetti from Yeti in my Spaghetti you place the game piece on the mat. There are targets on the mats that the students practice. These can also be used as Smash mats. Yeti Spaghetti Articulation and Language Game Companion I have created 2 Freebies that I wanted to share with you. I created free K sound spinners that I use with Jumpin Jack. The spinners can also be used by themselves as a game. Free Rabbit Game Companion for K sounds Another Freebie that I have created is for commercial Fishing games. It includes mats that target early apraxia syllables. There are mats for VC, CV, CVCV and CVC syllables. Free Apraxia Game Companions for Fishing Games Games are such a great motivators for our students. They are a great way to work with those mixed groups that always present a challenge in therapy. I hope these spinners and mats are helpful. Click here to follow my tpt store Speech Gems.
