My Project

The past couple of years have been challenging for all, especially our youngest learners! With these materials, I am hoping to bring cheer and motivation to all of my learners.

I am wanting to provide my students with new materials that encourage not just speech and language growth, but also social growth.

While we target our speech and language skills, we sometimes utilize everyday board games to reward our drill work. Socially, games also provide the opportunity for turn-taking and conversation.

Additionally, I am requesting a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card to provide printed materials for home practice. I chose card stock, velcro, and laminating pouches for the materials that may be used again and again.

Finally, I am requesting a large pack of markers that may be used throughout the upcoming school year. Students frequently use markers to complete speech and language activities throughout the school year!
