We started off our therapy resource series for a hybrid therapy approach yesterday! I shared about the 6 video resources I use in my individual/group session via in person or virtually. And today is all about LITERACY!
.
Literacy is one of the building blocks I plan my sessions around because books and articles easily fit into a seasonal or curriculum “theme”. Using literacy in your sessions naturally extends to working on phonological awareness and story grammar/retell activities. These skill areas cover a wide range of articulation and language goals so you can easily manage a mixed group with multiple goals.
.
SO! Let’s jump into my go-to resources! Some of these require a subscription so check with your employer, sign up for a trial, or sign up if yourself if think it’s valuable enough!
.
1️⃣ VOOKS: Watch stories come to life with these animated fiction & non-fiction videos. You can mute so you can read yourself/have a child read or listen along.
.
2️⃣ EPIC: Read your favorite stories here. Click on words to see the definition!
.
3️⃣ NEWSELA: Find relevant & current news articles organized by topic and grade level. Offers read aloud options and quizzes based on article content. A great non-fiction option to provide vocabulary exposure of tier II and III words!
.
4️⃣ NEWS2YOU: Find accessible and differentiated articles related to current events. Content includes @symbolstix visual icons for added communication and comprehension support!
.
4️⃣ READWORKS: Offers non-fiction articles as well as fiction short stories. Content is paired with vocabulary activities and comprehension questions with several differentiation options. Texts are organized by topic, grade level, text type, and difficulty level.
.
5️⃣ STORYLINE ONLINE: Why yes I’d like to watch Chris Evans read a story about superheroes. The good news is your kids will too!
.
6️⃣ WACKY WEBTALES: this is a fun mad lib generator! Work on parts of speech, fill in the word list with target sounds, and explain why the story makes sense or doesn’t make sense!
.
Make sure you are following my account, save this post, and come back tomorrow for resources specific to speech language skills!
