I have spent my day working with Kiddos on retelling the story, naming synonyms, finding rhymes and looking for their speech sounds in the book

“There Was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Bell!”

Written by Lucille Colandro and Illustrated by Jared Lee. 

Until I can make my own book companion pack that has everything I really need just the way I want it,  I scoured Pinterest and Teachers Pay Teachers finding freebies that I can use right now!

Bright Concepts for Teachers

has a great 5 page freebie including story props to retell the story and a writing CRAFT-tivity. Click the Picture to go to her TpT store

I am using the Pictures from this on a story stick or laminated and Velcro-ed as a great way to work on ordinal numbers…while retelling a story.   

OH and Can Do Kinders: Old Lady Retelling is awesome too…

My kids are coloring the images while they wait on a turn and we are making the retelling bags before Christmas Break to take home and retell to their Families…

Click the affiliate link to amazon.com above or below to get the book - ships super fast and free if you are a PRIME member!  I love Amazon Prime!

Or try the book along with a CD with the wacky song.

FREEBIES in Therapy...

I don’t know about you guys, but I am frugal… I am always looking for cheap and free things to add into speech and language therapy.

 

Lakeshore Learning has great, great products for language and literacy development, and I was lucky enough to be able to purchase MANY of the literacy boxes when I first started at one of my schools. 

 

They also have some great digital downloads for vocabulary and....

duh du duh…...   

Lakeshore Learning offers free printables.  They always have a monthly writing prompt set up in a calendar format.  I have sent this home as homework in speech and language therapy and used in group, not for writing but as EXPRESSIVE LANGUAGE TASKS.  Having the students tell their answers.  Hey and you can’t beat free.  Click the pictures below for the links

They also are offering this month Fables, Folk Tales, and myths

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use these to study the common core concepts and then have a great little discussion with the "LET'S TALK ABOUT IT" section.  Send this home as well to get parents talking about "wh" questions, vocabulary, inference, predicting, and sequencing.
