I know it's Monday, but I have exciting news to share!

So today is yet another Monday...for those of you NOT on Spring Break (myself included - I work in a hospital outpatient clinic), here is some news I am hoping will brighten your day.  I am VERY excited to share my newest activity with you!

What's Your Number - Auditory Memory Practice (Forward and Reversed) is an activity designed to provide your students with opportunities to practice their immediate and working memory/recall skills with series of numbers.  This 32-page packet includes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 digit sequences on cute calculator clip art from The Enlightened Elephant!

To make data collection easier, I have also included record sheets with space to record two trials for both numbers forward and numbers reversed!

Throughout my SLP travels, I have come across some excellent activities for word and sentence recall, but have had a difficult time finding activities for number recall.  Hope this fills a gap for you as well!

You can find What's Your Number here

Egg Hunt Compare and Contrast

Egg hunt anyone?  I have several clients on my caseload who struggle with word relationships. Egg Hunt Compare and Contrast is designed to give your students multiple opportunities to think about those relationships.  

This unit includes the following:

List of all pairs included in activity

An open-ended game board is also included for game play

Freebie Anyone??

So the sweet s-blends activity is still under construction!  Life for me has been so crazy lately! Guess that par for the course when you are a speech-language pathologist by day and a wife and mom/show choir mom by night (and weekends)!  In the meantime, here is a freebie for you!  A Boy and a Box:  Practice with Prepositions targets those lovely spatial concepts/prepositions that we all love so much!

I just couldn't resist these super cute graphics by Lita Lita!  This activity targets the following concepts:  behind, beside, between, on, in, above, under, next to, in front of, and below and is designed for both receptive and expressive language practice.
