Hip hip hooray for Friday! I hope you’ve had a good week. Mine has been pretty stressful, trying to get everything done in the home stretch. Only 2 more weeks to go! 🙂 Friday means FAQ time, so let’s get to it. Today’s question has to do with reading. It seems like kids are learning to read at an earlier… Read More
Sorry I’ve been a little MIA lately. It’s spring…which means SHOWER planning time! One thing you should know about me is that I have become the QUEEN of showers and parties. I usually plan at least 5 a year, and of course all around the same time. I actually have 3 scheduled for this May. What can I say? All… Read More
I am so very excited to show you this next project. It has been a work-in-progress for several months now. It’s such a great feeling to finally be finished! In my state RtI is a mandatory component of the evaluation process. We must have documented interventions in all areas of communication (articulation, language, voice, fluency). It has to be included… Read More
In today’s FAQ Friday post, I’m hoping to give you a couple of easy ideas and a few research links that could help my fellow SLP and teacher friends. It’s that time of year!

I know my kiddos are definitely ready for a break. What about yours? Of course, Friday also means FAQ time! 🙂 This week we’re going to chat a… Read More
I think every single one of my 2-5th grade inclusion kiddos are working on comprehension this year. It seems like a hallmark sign of a language learning disorder. Some of my kids can even read beautifully, decoding long words and everything. When you ask them about what they’ve read or try to get them to retell the story, they break… Read More
Friday could not come soon enough this week. With state testing and paperwork and evals, I’m about to pull my hair out over here! I guess it’s just that time of year…sigh. April and May are always so ca-razy! Weeelll, you know what Fridays also mean…FAQ time! Get your questions ready! 🙂 Today’s question is voice related. Even though I… Read More
This app from Smarty Ears has been MUCH anticipated by me. I could not wait to try it out with my apraxia kiddos. If you are needing something that’s engaging for your young kids and that targets the appropriate areas for apraxia, then you are going to loooovvvee this one! 🙂 Check out Apraxia Ville! It uses a cute farm theme… Read More
