ABC's of my Speech Room {A is for...}

I'm so excited to share with you a new Friday Feature: "ABC's of my Speech Room!" Each Friday, I'm going to let you in on a different aspect of my speech room that I can't live without. They may be purchased commercial products, dollar store finds, desk supplies- absolutely anything that makes my speech room run (semi) smoothly. So without further ado, here we go!

Each activity includes two pages, a direction page for the SLP and a black and white picture page for your student. All you need are 8 crayons (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, and black) and you are ready to go!

I use this product to target following directions (don't mind me stating the obvious), prepositions/basic concepts, describing items, story telling, inferencing, and problem solving. All the boys on my caseload love it (and so do the girls if I change some of the colors and let them use pink instead of blue or green)! It's great for those mixed language groups, and I've even used it with kiddos in 6th grade who have found it fun. 

The picture pages are engaging and interesting for my students. There is enough going on in each picture to make things challenging, but not too much that it is impossible. For my littles, I like to talk about the picture before we work on the page. We can talk about what the names of the dinosaurs are, distinguishing characteristics of the dinosaurs (this one has horns, this dinosaur has a long neck, look at the spots on this dinosaur, etc...), and other things in the picture (volcanoes, trees, water, flowers). It is a great language lesson for them!

How would you use this with your students? Do you have an "A" item from your speech room that you couldn't live without?
