I started using literature books because I was looking for a way to make therapy more relevant to my students' class work. It ended up making it so easy to integrate therapy into the classroom.</span></p><p data-key="174"><span data-key="175">I ended up creating book companions for some of my favorite and most used story books. I follow a very predictable pattern with my lessons. I have found this leads to more carryover for my students. </span></p><p data-key="176"><span data-key="177">Depending on the book I choose and the groups goals I use a book for 2-4 weeks. A frequent question I get is how do I use the same book for so long. This is the typical pattern I follow.</span></p><p data-key="176"><span data-key="177"></span></p><ul class="unordered_list" data-key="188" style="list-style-position: inside;"><li class="list_item" data-key="189"><span class="list-item-child" data-key="190">Present story vocabulary</span><ul class="unordered_list" data-key="192" style="list-style-position: inside;"><li class="list_item" data-key="193"><span class="list-item-child" data-key="194">I start by pulling out the vocabulary that I am going to target with each group. My book companions have vocabulary cards. I create a ring of vocabulary words for each group. I use these all year to progress monitor vocabulary growth.</span></li></ul></li><li class="list_item" data-key="196"><span class="list-item-child" data-key="197">Read the story</span><ul class="unordered_list" data-key="199" style="list-style-position: inside;"><li class="list_item" data-key="200"><span class="list-item-child" data-key="201">Every session I read the story. I like to use books that take 5-7 minutes to read. During this time I ask "wh" questions or focus on skill activities.</span></li></ul></li><li class="list_item" data-key="203"><span class="list-item-child" data-key="204">Story comprehension</span><ul class="unordered_list" data-key="206" style="list-style-position: inside;"><li class="list_item" data-key="207"><span class="list-item-child" data-key="208">After reading the story I use my book companion comprehension questions and story element sheets.</span></li></ul></li><li class="list_item" data-key="210"><span class="list-item-child" data-key="211">Skill activities during repeat readings</span><ul class="unordered_list" data-key="213" style="list-style-position: inside;"><li class="list_item" data-key="214"><span class="list-item-child" data-key="215">During repeated readings I focus on individual skills that my students need. If a student is working on categories I might ask them to name all the animals in the story. When targeting past tense verbs I will ask them questions that require a past tense verb in the answer. Articulation students questions focus on their sounds. This is a perfect time for individualized questions.</span></li></ul></li><li class="list_item" data-key="217"><span class="list-item-child" data-key="218">Story retell activities</span><ul class="unordered_list" data-key="220" style="list-style-position: inside;"><li class="list_item" data-key="221"><span class="list-item-child" data-key="222">After we have read the story a few times we start to work on retelling the story. I like to use small toys or puppets when we start this. My book companions have a sheet to help with scaffolding this activity and puppets the students can use.</span></li></ul></li><li class="list_item" data-key="224"><span class="list-item-child" data-key="225">Alternate story</span></li><ul class="unordered_list" data-key="227" style="list-style-position: inside;"><li class="list_item" data-key="228"><span class="list-item-child" data-key="229">I like to end the unit with an alternate story.

Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
This crazy school year is finally over. Now is the time to enjoy the summer and maybe prep for the Fall. I hope that the Fall finds us all back in school. I think one of the things I have missed the most is Sports. Football, basketball and baseball have all been on my mind. I created a Sports Custom category in my store, so that my sports products are easy to find. <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Speech-Gems/Category/Sports-Themed-Activities-448651" target="_blank">Click here to check it out.</a><br />
<br />
I created this Football themed Freebie that I wanted to share with you. My spin, say and cover activities are always fun. I made a free football set that targets initial articulation sounds, past tense verbs and fall vocabulary words.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/FREE-Football-Articulation-and-Language-Activity-5661476" target="_blank"><img alt=" FREEBIE" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1572" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDtICImJYoFsbti7ILR0wWk7a27tPqU3C133K4Mu3WrDnhrZUMH7DtRc_iKV1YhD2GYpviK7jwT2KiTwOEXfU-XxS-GtC2QhmSSkfCh8hZBB_VCbxEuweoHACtoiVmGSQDLt94-rd41FQe/s320/Footall+spin+say+and+cover.jpg" width="314" /></a></div>

<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/FREE-Football-Articulation-and-Language-Activity-5661476" target="_blank">CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD the Football Spin, Say and Cover freebie.</a><br />
<br />
You can color the footballs, smash dough onto them, use dot art stampers, mini objects, erasers or pom poms to cover the footballs. If you are still doing teletherapy you can screen share the pdf and allow your students to annotate the footballs.<br />
<br />
If you are missing sports I have been busy making printables and Boom Cards using football, basketball, baseball and soccer themes. I couldn't be more excited that basketball is back!!!! July 31st is not that far off. I made a game that can be played with or without a small basketball hoop. You could also use a garbage can or make the small bag hoop that is included in the file<span style="font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> .</span><br />

I recently found these amazing spinners on Amazon. Math teachers have been using them for a while. I just love them for Speech therapy. I place them on top of the worksheet or game and the kids love them.<br />

I created a whole set of spin, say and cover activities that I can use with them. (If you don't have the spinners you can also use a dice, or paper clip and pencil.) They are so easy to use. Print the page that meets each student's goal. Place the spinner on top. Spin and then say the targets. After that you cover 1-3 items. You can use dot markers, dough, mini erasers, markers, paint sticks, small objects, crayons or game pieces to cover the pictures. It is so easy and fun. It is also perfect for mixed groups. Each set has initial, medial and final articulation pages, vocabulary, verbs and rhyming.<br />

book I am using in this theme is <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Be Brave, Little Penguin</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b>It is a really cute story about a little
penguin that is afraid to go swimming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He feels alone, because all his friends are swimming and having
fun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Little Penguin’s mother helps him
get over his fear, so at the end he can play with all his friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the things I like to do with this
story is talk about how his friends could have helped. I am also continuing to
target vocabulary skills with this book.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">I always
like to start the month off with a book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>One of my favorite fall books is <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">When The Leaf Blew In</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b>This is a great circular book that starts
with a leaf causing a cow to sneeze.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
cow’s sneeze caused a bird to fly out of the barn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The bird causes a pig to dive into the mud. The
story continues until the end when a Robin causes a leaf to go back in the
barn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This book is great for sequencing
skills, farm vocabulary, basic concepts, past tense verbs and articulation
skills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My kids love using my farm
animals and a barn to retell the story. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
like to give my articulation kids an index card with a picture of word from the
story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their job is to say that word
correctly throughout the session.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> This is a great story for repeated storybook readings. By the end of the month my kids are great at retelling this story.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

use articulation and language decks. I like to spread cards around the

also use my store’s articulation and game spinners. I have attached a game
spinner for the /s/ sound. We use this
spinner in place of the game die. The
students use a paper clip and pencil as the spinner. (Amazon also sells
spinners that can be attached.) They practice their sound or language target
before they select their acorn.</span></div>

I start
with different sizes and types of leaves. We decide what color leaves we
see in the fall. We peel the crayons and are ready to start. We start by
making simple leaves and then brainstorm what things we see in the fall
that we could make using the shapes we have. I model for my groups that
struggle with this. We make squirrels, cows, goats, frogs, chickens,
barns, pumpkin patches and apple trees. It is a fun and easy.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

half and use them as stamps. It is fun and encourages so much language. We
talk about half, whole, together and separated while we stamp them. My
articulation groups have used the apples to stamp articulation pictures
rather than coloring. My students love when we use paints instead of
crayons.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

making a tree with construction paper. We draw a trunk on a piece of paper
and then cut out construction paper leaves. As we drill our articulation
and language targets we glue a leaf onto the tree. At the end they have a
cute craft to take home.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

that are easy to use. I am using my scarecrow craft this week. Print it
out and let you students do the rest. I like to print it on card stock so
it is sturdier. At the end they have a project to take home.<span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></li>

I give my students the Boehm Test of Basic Concepts in the beginning of the school year. It test 50 commonly used Kindergarten basic concepts. Understanding these concepts help my students follow directions and be successful in our district's Kindergarten Math program. I select concepts from the Boehm that many of my students struggle with.<br />

I created a set of mini books that allows me to target next to, beside, in front, between, left, right, over, under, above and below all year long. I included monthly themes that my students really enjoy. When we are done they get to take the books home, which they LOVE! I have gotten so many requests for more themes that I decided to make a FREE dog themed mini book. I have also expanded all of my seasonal sets to include additional themes.<br />

</div>
I love children's literature books, especially fairy tales. They are one of my favorite activities to include in therapy. A method of reading books called diologic reading was developed by the Stony Brook Reading and Language Project. This method of reading to children increases vocabulary skills, the mean length of utterances and teaches morphological structures. This is an easy way to incorporate evidence based teaching into something that you already do. When using this method you prompt, evaluate, expand and repeat (PEER).<br />
<br />
<b>What is diologic reading? </b><br />
It is a method of reading where the teacher or parent helps the child tell the story. The adult does this by actively involving the child in the story. The adult prompts the child throughout the reading of the story. Five types of prompts are used: completion prompts, recall prompts, open-ended prompts, wh prompts and distancing prompts. These prompts also enable the therapist to differentiate instruction, when working with mixed ability groups.<br />

I love fairy tales. Diologic reading is one method I use to help my students activity engage with fairy tale. One of my favorite fairy tales is Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Completion, open-ended and Wh prompts are the easier prompts, while recall and distancing prompts are more advanced.<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Completion Prompts:</b> Mama bear said, "My porridge is to _____." Goldilocks said, "This ____ is to soft." Papa bear said, "Someone has been ____ in my bed."</li>
</ul>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Recall Prompts: </b>What happened to Goldilocks in the story? Can you tell me why the bears went for a walk? How did the bears know someone had been in their cottage?</li>
</ul>
</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Open-ended Prompts: </b>Tell me what is happening in this picture. Tell me what else the bears could have for breakfast. Tell me where the bears could go.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Wh Prompts: </b>What is this? Who made the porridge? Where did the bears go? When did Goldilocks fall asleep? Why was Goldilocks frightened?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Distancing Prompts: </b>Make a real life connection to the book. Remember when we had oatmeal for breakfast. Remember when your toy broke. Remember when you were frightened.</li>
</ul>
<div>
The first time I read the story I like to limit the number of prompts I use. I like the children to hear the natural flow of the story. In all future readings I prompt students on every page to help them begin retelling the story. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will often use parts of my Book companions to help. I will use the vocabulary cards to help students with the completion prompts. I might show the picture of the Goldilocks to help them complete the prompt "The porridge was to hot", said ___________ or a choice card for other students.<br />

The story element sheets can be filled in using these prompts as well. A distancing prompt can be used to start the ask the students if they can remember where the bears lived. </div>

Throughout the reading the therapist should also be evaluating and expanding on the child's responses. Then I have the students repeat the expanded answers, so that they are improving their language skills. These prompts are a great way to help our students have conversations about the books we read to them.</div>
<div>
<br />
This is one way that I incorporate evidence based teaching into my speech therapy session. </div>

My favorite time of the year. As soon as Thanksgiving is over it is time for me to start Holiday activities. One of my favorite books to use is Snowmen at Christmas. I use it to target articulation, vocabulary, syntax, answering questions and retelling activities. The first thing I do when I use a new book it make a list of all the targets I want to use it to target. I plan to use this books for the month of December.<br />

A new favorite that I found this year was a Snowman game and large pom pom snowballs. We are going to practice speech and language targets and then throw the pom pom snowballs at the snowman. (I found both of these at the Target Dollar spot.)</div>

<div>
We are going to make a Santa craft. My favorite is Santa's stuck. Each student will target their articulation sounds as they glue bricks onto the chimney that Santa is stuck in.<br />

We are also going to target Christmas vocabulary with a <b><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Christmas-Bingo-FREEBIE-2225748">Christmas FREEBIE</a></b> that is available over at my tpt store. It is a Christmas Bingo game. Click HERE to get this fun Free activity that you can use with your groups. We are going to draw the cards out of a stocking while we use Target erasers in place of Bingo chips. FUN for everyone as we practice vocabulary skills and formulating sentences.<br />

I love everything about children's books. My favorites are short, easy to read and have great illustrations in them. Incorporating my favorite books into therapy is something I do every week. It makes therapy fun and engaging for my students. I like to select a theme and then gather books, toys and games that go with it. You can easily do this for any book.<br />
<ul>
<li>Select a book you love.</li>
<li>Develop a set of questions that go with the book.</li>
<li>Select vocabulary words that meet the needs of your groups. I like to use both Tier 1 and Tier 2 vocabulary words, so I can differentiate in mixed ability groups.</li>
<li>Gather a list of syntax structures used in the book. Look for past tense verbs, pronouns, plurals, compound and complex sentences.</li>
<li>Find something to compare and contrast in the book. It could be characters, vocabulary words, or other books.</li>
<li>Gather any games and small toys that go along with the theme.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div>
After that you are ready to use the book to meet the needs of your student.<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
There are many book companions available on Tpt that can save you time. This Fall I am starting my year talking about the mindset of "I can't do it YET!" Every student is going to decide what they can't do that we are going to target. This is going to be the perfect lead for a theme of Yetis.<br />

I am using the book <i>Spaghetti With My Yeti. </i>I have created a book companion that targets answering questions, vocabulary words, story elements and the verb ate.<br />

The game Yeti in My Spaghetti goes great with this theme. My game companion has both articulation and language game mats, so it can be used with mixed ability groups.<br />

The last thing I am using is a Feed the Yeti activity. We are going to make a Yeti and feed it. My articulation students are going to feed him spaghetti with articulation targets on them. This Yeti can also be used to retell the story.<br />

Although I love using articulation and language craft projects my kids do get tired of coloring. I try to keep the excitement up by changing it up. I recently decided to use water colors to make a flower pot craft. We practiced the targets on each flower and then painted it. The next session we practiced again as we cut them out and assembled the pots. My kids loved painting and had a beautiful project to take home.<br />

Simply changing the crayons can be fun. I found these scented silly crayons that my kids love. I call them my "special" crayons and they ask for them all the time now. Markers are always a big hit too. Small stickers are another way that I decorate craft projects.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I like to use color paper and just assemble it. My Unicorn characters look get without any additional coloring.<br />

Summer! Is there no better time of the year? I love it, but I do worry about my articulation students regressing over the summer. Last summer I sent home Summer Lap books that my kids LOVED. They were full of games and fun activities. We made the lap books during one our sessions. I sent home calendars with lots of interesting things my kids could do. I also sent home articulation decks that they could play with whenever they wanted. <br />

They were fun to make and my kids have already asked for them again this summer. My plan is to make them the last month of therapy again this year.<br />
<br />
Have a great summer!<br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 16px;">Adapted books are one of my favorite ways to teach new skills. They are fun and interactive. During the session they keep my students focused and engaged. I love using them with my students to teach them how to answer who and what questions.

We continue to sort people and things each session to help the students differentiate between who and what questions.

Building vocabulary skills are so important for my students. One area that always needs to be targeted is basic concepts. Everyday in school my students are expected to understand basic concepts, but they often struggle to be successful.<br />
<br />
My students have a great deal of trouble with the concepts of most, least, fewest and equal. We play a fishing game to work on that. As we fish we talk about who has the most, least or are the number of fish equal. We play this game frequently to reinforce these concepts.

Every month we make a small basic concept book that is related to the season or a holiday. These books target next to, beside, between, in front, above, below, under, over, left and right. I use the pages that have concepts my students need to learn. The monthly repetition helps my students learn to understand and use these concepts. I can also add concepts as my students master them.<br />

Play-Doh is one of my favorite toys to use in therapy. One last activity that I use with my students is basic concept Smash mats. They target whole, half, all, some, first, second, third, between, through, above, below, left, right, around, in, out and next to. I select mats that target the concepts each individual child needs to learn.<br />

As the new year starts one of my goals this year is to keep up on my data collections. It seems to be a never ending task for me. I need to collect data every session and also data for my IEP goals. This year I am going to use a group data sheet for each session. This seems to be a natural part of therapy. I use this data to drive therapy and I use it when I bill for Medicaid.<br />
<br />
My biggest challenge is keeping up with the data for my IEP goals. My goals are written without all the prompts and scaffolding I typically use in therapy. I also want my students involved in their own data collection. Last year I decided to create lap books with graphs inside for my 4th and 5th graders. My students created a lap book and every two weeks we added a data point. It was be a good way to review their goals and talk about their progress. I gave out brad tags when my students beat their previous score. It was so successful with my older students that this year I am going to expand it to all my students. <br />

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.<br />

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.<br />

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.<br />

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.<br />

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.<br />

Is it hard to keep your students engaged while they practice? I have found that by using games and activities my students enjoy therapist directed drill play. It can be a lot of fun and the therapist can obtain 100 trials of the targeted sound or process. I have found that their are so many commercial games and activities available that easily lend themselves to therapist directed drill play. For all of these games and activities I like to select 3-5 pictures that will be targeted during the session. The number I select depends on how often the student needs to engage in play and stay motivated.<br />
<br />
Yeti In My Spaghetti : Every time my students practice their pictures I give them a piece of spaghetti to place over the bowl. When the game is assembled we play the game.<br />

<br />
<br />
Kerplunk: As my students practice they put a stick through the tube. When all the sticks are in we practice the pictures as we add the marbles to the tube. When it is all ready we have fun playing the game.<br />
<br />
Mr Potato Head: I set up a variety of parts that the student can select. We practice the pictures and them add a part to the potato. After a few potatoes are assembled we play with them.<br />
<br />
100 Trial sheets: I like to use crayons, markers and stamps with 100 trials sheets. The child marks a picture after each production. This freebie includes six Spring 100 trials articulation sheets and 2 data collections sheet. The data collection sheets can be used with any of these activities.<br />

Legos: I like to have my students practice their pictures and then I give them 2-3 legos to put together. They build and practice at the same time.<br />
<br />
Ned's Head: I put multiple copies of the students pictures inside the head. I place a sticker on one of the cards. We take turns pulling a card out of Ned's Head. The student who finds the card with the sticker shouts "I win!" This game is quick and can be played multiple times.<br />
<br />
Cariboo: I cover the original cards with Holiday or a theme. After each child practices their targeted words they open one box. It they find the ball they get to put it in the treasure chest. We play until the treasure box opens.<br />

<br />
Chipper Chat: Practice the pictures and them put a chip on the card. When the card is full use the magic wand to clean up the card. Take time to play with the chips and magnets at the end.<br />
<br />
Jenga: The students practice their pictures and then place a Jenga block on the tower. When the tower is built we play the game.<br />
<br />
Fishing game: I like to have my students say their words and them put a fish in the "pond". When the game is complete we play it. I have also created a game companion that can also be used. The students practice again as they place them in the fishing net.<br />

Connect Four: Each time a student puts a chip in the frame they say their pictures. We play until their is a winner.<br />
<br />
Using these games in therapist directed drill play is a fun and easy way to get your students to practice 100 articulation targets in a therapy session. If you are struggling to keep your students engaged think about trying some of these games. I hope your students enjoy them as much as my students do.

<br />
Do you have limited space in your Speech room? Do you still want to engage your students with toys? I love being able to use a kitchen center when I am in the classroom, but I don't have the space in my therapy room. I solved that problem by creating a stove out of a box. I later use that box to store all my kitchen toys. It is a quick and easy way to develop a kitchen center.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
To create this center the first thing I did was gather the toys that I needed. I had a shopping basket full of play food, plates, cups, silverware, pots, a griddle, and a Play-Doh stove. I also add some paper plates, cups, notepads and markers. To make a stove I covered a box with yellow paper and made four burners. To finish it off I added contact paper, so it would be more durable.<br />

I like to target sentence expansion, vocabulary skills, asking and answering questions and syntax skills when I use my kitchen center. As I bring out the food we focus on naming the food and cooking equipment. One vocabulary unit I like to focus on is Fruit vocabulary. <br />

I have my students label the fruit, sort them by color and match them up to a set of pictures. I like to model how to take and order food in a restaurant. We use notepads to write down the order and then we cook the food. Throughout the play we focus on expanding our sentences. If a student reponds "I want apples" I might expand it to "I want two red apples".<br />

It is amazing to watch how with repeated use of the same toys my students begin to expand their language. When I first introduce the kitchen center my students typically use unspecific vocabulary and short, choppy sentences. The more we use the same toys they begin to learn the vocabulary and expand on their play themes. By the end they are able to pretend they are waitresses, waitors, bus boys and chefs. They are labeling the food and the utensils. I love to watch their language grow the more we use the kitchen center.<br />
<br />
Creating a kitchen center can be quick and easy. When we are done everything goes back in the box until the next time we play with it. This has turned into one of my students favorite activities.<br />

I love to use Play-Doh and so do my students. In Speech there are so many skills that can be targeted with a new can of Play-Doh. This month I have been working on vocabulary skills, basic concepts, articulation, rhyming and letter sounds all with Play-Doh. I presented my students with cans of white Play-Doh, wiggly eyes, small animals, tongue depressors, beads and alphabet cookies.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As we were using the Play-Doh I suggested making a snowman. We made snowballs in three sizes, added pairs of eyes and arms, buttons that were the same or different. We used the cans of Play-Doh and the tongue depressors to make a bridge. The snowmen and animals went over, under and across the bridge. We added water so other animals could go in and under the water. Later we made an igloo and a polar bear. Our animals went on top of the igloo, next to it, inside and outside. We all had a great time and I was able to targeted multiple basic concepts (small, medium, large, biggest, smallest, shortest, tallest, pair, same, different, next to, over, under, inside, outside and across) all while having a lot of FUN!<br />

<br />
Another group made objects that rhymed with our animal figures. We made rhymes for cat, bear, dog and pig. Everyone loved trying to make wigs, frogs, stairs and at the end we made them all go splat (rhyming with cat).<br />
<br />
The alphabet cookies were great for both articulation skills and reinforcing letters and sounds. We found our sound cookie and made items that started or ended with our sounds. My kids made cars, ladders, sharks, snails and more snowmen. As we made objects we created silly rhymes and tapped out the phonemes in the words. My kids rhymed ladder with kadder, snadder, and shadder,<br />
<br />
We had so much fun learning and playing at the same time. Open a fresh can of Play-Doh and have some fun.<br />
