Ms. Shoykhet's Speech and Language Materials
Funded Jan 24, 2024When we first received this big box of new materials, each of my speech and language therapy students were very excited to open it and see what we new materials we can learn with! They each helped their friends with opening and organizing the story companions along with phonics materials. It is amazing how the texture of these materials was such motivation to read a story and learn.
The story book companions each have something unique and special about them. My students have been more engaged in group work and taking turns, just so they can experience implementing the new materials. Thank you very much!”

Storytelling Companions
Funded Dec 13, 2023We are incorporating a variety of stories into our speech and language therapy sessions, such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Three Billy Goats Gruff, The Three Little Pigs, The It's Bitsy Spider, and The Gingerbread Man. These stories are accompanied by puppets and felt characters that encourage my students to use language in retelling and to learn corresponding vocabulary. The pizza making kit has also allowed students to practice sequencing and vocabulary building through pizza stories, songs, and role play.
When the new materials were introduced, my students eagerly opened them and used our large felt board to listen to and retell the stories. They were excited to take turns and work together to use the soft characters, including putting together the caterpillar and butterfly puppets. My students have been motivated to participate, utilize more language, and transition between activities with these materials.”
