Spring is just around the corner so as you start to prep for spring speech therapy I put together a list of awesome FREE spring speech therapy activities to get you going!

First is my Free Spring Sequencing Cut and Glue Pages! This includes activities for 3, 4, and 5 step sequences!

Next up is my Free Spring Prepositions and Spatial Concepts Cut and Glue Book. So fun and interactive!

I also have a Free Spring Categories Activities that are great for preschool and kindergarten speech students working on sorting!

I also have a free Spring Interactive Book Pack called Bunny Needs a Bath! It’s a fun way to practice answering “WH” questions and labeling colors!

Lastly, I have a great free “Bear Wants More” interactive smash mat activity for one of my favorite spring books: “Bear Wants More” by Karma Wilson.

Teaching pronouns to children with autism or language delays can be so tricky! Learning to correctly use “he” and “she” and especially “my” and “your” can take lots of repetitions and practice for our little ones! Here are some of my favorite ideas for teaching pronouns in speech therapy sessions in an interactive and fun way (no flash cards!).

My number one requested game by my students for teaching the pronouns is this Yum Yum Pronouns Interactive Game.

Kids love feeding the kids food and get tons of practice with “he”, “she” and “they”. I don’t mind pulling it out frequently because it’s also great for speech therapy groups with mixed goals. I can target plurals, verbs, sentence structure, expanding utterances, and more with it!

Another activity that is constantly out on my therapy table are Interactive Sentence Flips for targeting pronouns. The one I use most frequently is Pronouns and Verbs Interactive Sentence Flips – People Actions.

These are super effective at teaching pronouns because the child moves an interactive visual cue to make the correct sentence for each picture cue. This helps demonstrate the need to change the pronoun to make a sentence that makes sense for each picture of the people.

I think teaching the pronouns “my” and “your” is the trickiest of all! These are so confusing to our little ones with language delays! One fun way I have worked on my/your is using this Make a Monster Game for Pronouns, Attributes, Following Directions, and Giving Directions.

The Make a Monster pack has pieces for creating different monsters and sentence stems with visual cues for practicing describing the monsters using “My” and “Your”.

I also have a free resource available for practicing “my” and “your”! This Free Interactive Visual for Teaching “My” and “Your” is a simple interactive communication board for describing what clothes either you or your communication partner are wearing using the sentence “My/your _____ is/are (color).” I have found this is a very helpful and concrete way for practicing “my” and “your.”

I am so excited to teach tier two vocabulary to my speech kids this year and it’s all because of two words: Interactive Notebooks! I have always struggled on how to integrate teaching vocabulary in a systematic way into our weekly speech therapy groups. This year my caseload contains a large group of upper elementary students who have language disorders and most are English Language Learners so effectively teaching vocabulary is a major necessity! I am so grateful that I have my Tier Two Vocabulary Curriculum and Interactive Notebooks to lead the way!

There is a unit with tier two academic vocabulary that corresponds to grade appropriate vocabulary for 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade. The units are great for using in a general education classroom or with special education students. At each grade level, 30 words are taught which are divided up into 5 subunits (6 words taught in each subunit). In the graphic below, you can see how my students set up their Interactive Vocabulary Notebooks. My students love creating their notebooks and are so much more engaged in learning the vocabulary words because of the interactive nature of the activities.There are also worksheets included for practicing the vocabulary words and checking for comprehension. Data sheets are also included to track your student’s progress. There are also game cards for use with any turn-taking game and “apples to apples” style game cards for extra practice. Finally, there are word wall cards in a variety of styles included so you can make a bulletin board display with the vocabulary words.

If you would like to use the interactive vocabulary page templates from the packs with your own vocabulary, I have made those available for FREE here: Free Interactive Vocabulary Notebook Templates

The Tier Two Vocabulary Curriculum and Interactive Notebook Combo Pack is available on Teachers Pay Teachers! You can click the image below to scoop it up!
