Worth it Wednesday {Articulation Menus}

I'm back with another Worth it Wednesday! This Wednesday, I'm looking at the Articulation Menus by Speechy Musings


How do I begin-this resource is AMAZING!! You get 18 different menus: 2 targeting initial /s/, 2 targeting initial /f/, 2 targeting initial /l/, 2 targeting initial /k/, 2 targeting initial /g/, 3 targeting initial /r/, 1 targeting /sh/, 1 targeting /th/, 2 targeting /sp/, and 1 targeting /st/. Whew, that's a lot of menus!

Each menu has its own theme and menu items. You can order a "Shellfish Shake", a "Raisin Wrap", or a "Coconut Cookie". Seriously, there are so many different menu options it's crazy!

Not only do you get the 18 menus, you also get some extra worksheets. The first set of worksheets you get are "My Speech Menu". This has spaces for questions such as "The most expensive thing on the menu?" and "Where is it located?". Then you get a worksheet that targets sequencing, e.g., I would order ____ first. What's the best part, the whole time you are working on producing your student's target sound- talk about mass productions!!

There's a dice game, a note to send home to the parent, and progress notes. Also included are a game board with cards and a general reinforcer game resembling a lunch tray. 

This packet can be used for so much more than just articulation. Use it to work on social skills - like ordering food/taking a food order in a restaurant, what's appropriate in a restaurant. Use it to target vocabulary- what exactly is rhubarb? Use it for expressive language and comprehending questions. The possibilities really are endless.

Have I convinced you to go download this packet yet!? Go get it here, and follow Speechy Musings on Facebook and on her blog. As always, if you download, please leave her some feedback! 

The preceding thoughts are solely mine and were written on my own terms, no person asked me to write this review. 

What's a product that you've purchased that you thought was worth it?
