Unpopular opinion:

I hate the Old Lady books. I don’t even know why 😂 I just don’t like them. But I do like this monster version, and monsters are a great theme for October if you can’t/don’t use anything Halloween-specific!

As far as the old lady books… are you with me 👍🏻 or against me 👎? 😅

It’s a tough decision between Little Blue Truck’s Halloween or Little Blue Truck’s Christmas for my favorite LBT book… BUT I think Halloween takes the cake. There’s too much to love about it— fun costumes, lift the flap, repetitive lines…. which is probably why these Boom cards are so fun! Who doesn’t love playing with animals in costumes?!

These Boom cards cover TONNNNS of goals to make your planning easy peasy!

Which Little Blue Truck book is your fave? Tell me with an emoji below! 👇🏼 ⬇️

The leaf hunt version is still my fave, but this one is cute for Halloween- and we just did Going on a Leaf Hunt so it’ll be familiar to the kids! Lots of s-blend opportunities in this book too!

Also pictured is my Halloween No Prep Articulation- that also has a big 4-sheet haunted house you can laminate to add movement to your sessions!

A new high five book! I posted over the summer about the high five book with wild animals and I heard from so many of you that bought it and loved it- SLPs and teachers alike!!

One of my faves for interactive books— You can work on the high five gesture, labeling animals, animal sounds, “hi” if “high five” is too hard for them to say, and it even incorporates some basic concepts like day/night, high/low, fast/slow, and inside/outside. There’s even some WH question opportunities on some of the pages!

We read it at bedtime tonight and it has the Olivia seal of approval too! Love seeing her sweet tiny little hands try to hit the right spots on each page 🥰 (which is another great part of the book— actions are on both the left AND right sides of the pages and aren’t always in the same spot!)

Did you know this book was coming out? Swipe ➡️ to see some of the pages inside!

Hi have I mentioned lately that Apple Farmer Annie is a must-have for your apple theme book collection? 😂 Sorry not sorry for talking about it again- it just lends itself to play activities SO well that I’m getting tons of use out of it and I’ll shout my love for it from the roof tops!

Heck- I even managed to use the Target Dollar Spot felt pie I haven’t pulled out in 3 or 4 years 🍎🍏 Have you added this book to your collection yet?

Apple Farmer Annie is a new must-have book for my

Apple Farmer Annie is a new must-have book for my Fall book collection!

I’ve been on the hunt for more books that have a lot of verbs in them (more practice as we read AND more opportunities for actions to do with the story to keep the kids engaged!), and this fits the bill!

It’s a simple book that goes through the life of an apple farmer, like picking the apples, sorting them, making lots of different foods with them, and selling those foods at the farmer’s market.

For play extension to reinforce the concepts from the book, it also pairs perfectly with pretend apples and cooking toys like pots, pans, knives, spoons, and even the felt oven from the Target dollar spot that you may have stashed away with your Thanksgiving and Christmas materials!

Also- fun fact- 🍎🍏 I have an apple tree in my backyard! Swipe through to see a sweet little video from last month of Olivia helping put the apples from her wagon into a bag after I pulled her out to the tree and she helped me pull some apples off!

What’s your favorite apple book?

Who else loves Apple Trouble paired with Spike the Hedgehog? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Swipe through to see some ideas for things to target with this book and game and then grab the freebie (printable AND boom card version 🙌🏼) from my store to use this Fall!

Ready to streamline your therapy planning and have

Ready to streamline your therapy planning and have a ton of literacy-based ideas and resources at your fingertips?

Introducing… the Language & Literacy SLP Book Club!

I know that looking for theme and book-based resources can be overwhelming.

Scrolling, clicking, sifting through resource listings on TpT…
Hours spent searching blogs, Pinterest, social media, for ideas…

You want to have a plan but in order to do so, you feel like you have to either spend your free time at home doing it, or all your non-scheduled time at work doing it, which is time you *could* be spending getting your paperwork done so you don’t have to bring that home, either.

Feels like a lose-lose so you end up wingin’ it with no plan, leaving you feeling frazzled, stressed, and unorganized.

Sound familiar?

I’ve been there, done that, and want to keep you from feeling that way any longer!

The Language & Literacy SLP Book Club lets you take back your nights and weekends by giving you…
*book/theme-based guides and plans for both therapists AND caregivers
*story props to act out and/or retell the stories
*hands-on materials to target other goals, based on the theme and book
*story grammar visual supports
*original interactive books that go with the theme/book
*symbol-based visuals to support your AAC users with each book

..for 2 books/themes each month.

Imagine how much less stressful it would be to have everything laid out for you, all in one place, right at your fingertips!

Don’t sit on this, though, because I’m capping it at 40 people for this first go-around (first semester), to make sure I’m providing exactly what you need, before opening the doors back up (and increasing the price) in January.

I am SO. EXCITED this is finally out in the world! What questions do you have for me?
