Jenna Rayburn (SpeechRoomNews) I'm printing as we speak! I have a group of boys working on /l/ sounds! I think we will use if for following directions.
Becca Jarzynski Ooh, Ruth took mine with working on concepts as get legos- you could also work on color concepts, spatial concepts such as "on top" "below" "behind," and quantity concepts such as "one" "more" and "few." :)
Jeremy All great ideas listed so far! Something else you could do is use the larger lego blocks and have a word on each block. You would then have to say the word, use the word in a sentence, make the word plural, make the word past tense, of if you got take two legos you would have have to make a sentence using both words, make a compound word, etc.... :)
all4mychild I love all of these ideas!! We also use legos in our social groups to have kids work collaboratively. We have them build ONE creation together. They could each take a turn and add the their legos to that one creation. Once it is built, we ask the kids to tell the others what the creation looks like to them. It is a great way to talk about the fact that we all have different ideas.
Kim Lewis I have more experience with Legos, and more Legos, than I ever thought would be possible! This would be great for working on complex descriptions/directions such as: (after landing on take 2 legos) find a square, blue lego and a thin, red lego. Or make it expressive and have the children label the lego they chose.

NEW PIN FOR SLPeeps DISCUSSION! This week, we pinned a list of Children's Books by Speech Sound compiled by an SLP. The pin has been wildly popular this week (and in contention for next week's 'Pin of the Week'. I was thinking that there must be lots of other solid books out there that advance specific speech sound/artic goals. Who's got books to add to this already excellent list?? We will post all the suggestions next week on our blog. Here is the PDF of the list: ht.ly/98nnK

Leanne Pool /s/ Sam's Sandwich
Kathryn Dorney Who made the Cake? by Nagagawa /k/ in initial, medial and final position
PediaStaff on Pinterest A poster on our blog added: /st/: Six Sticks /sn/: Snowmen at Night, Snowmen at Christmas syllables: Brown Bear /f/: Rainbow Fish, 10 Little Fish, Fish is Fish /sp/: any Spot book /p/: Peek-A-Boo /g/: Go Dog Go The Once Upon A Sound program is a literacy based phonological program, uses a book for each target.
SLP 4 Kids For /f/: Four Fur Feet by Margaret Wise Brown
Jennifer Schababerle For /r/ sound: Hooway for Wodney Wat by Helen Lester.
NEW PIN FOR DISCUSSION: 'Speechify' Log Cabin Word Sorting - I love this and thought it might be fun to see what you guys could do with it with some time left still to get ready for your Presidents' Day themed lessons. This first grade teacher used it to sort by vowel sound and also to teach compound words, but I see huge potential for so many other speech and language objectives.. We will round up all the suggestions next week on the blog. Ready, set, go!

Ashley Dyer McGeehon For speech- Have child write /r/ words on the popsicle sticks. Make an /r/ house. (Or any sound they need help with)
Kelly Roberts It lends itself nicely to word families as well.
Ruth Morgan It lends itself to sorting in general---e.g. by categories, functions, or any other attribute.
QUESTION FOR THE SLPEEPS: After repinning this as the 'pin of the week,' it dawns on me that we might like to start other photo boards for use in therapy. Anyone have suggestions of collections I could start for you all in my copious spare time? - Heidi

Daria O'Brien Photos that elicit perspective taking skills (what are they thinking?); also photos showing how two or more people can feel differently in the same situation.
Cj Mason Is there a way to copy a whole board to pin rather than reprint each individual picture in your photo boards?
Cj Mason Should have said "repin" rather than reprint in above comment
SLPeeps - Pin for Discussion - Colored Pin Pong Balls to Choose. Originally envisioned by a teacher for classroom chores. I posted this one for the School Psychologists last week, but I know you guys would have great ideas on how we can use this for speech and language. (I am also going to challenge the OTs with the same pin. Let's see who comes up with more ideas!! In a week, we will do a roundup of all the ideas and post them on the blog.

Pauline Fraembs For teaching wh- concepts (who/what/where/when) and stimulating creative story telling. Create 5 of these jars, fill each one with the corresponding wh- written on each ball. (for example, you could use the child's name or favorite cartoon character in the "who" jar). Choose 1 ball from each jar and let the child's creativity run wild!
Pauline Fraembs It may be fun to use for teaching spatial concepts too! Make 3 jars, one for balls with "under", "behind", "in front of"....etc. The other jar can be labeled with play animals/action figures/Little People you have on hand, and the last jar can be labeled with locations/landmarks in the classroom or home. Let the child choose one ball from each jar and decide where it goes. This is also great because it allows the child to move around!
Liz Gretz The possibilities are endless Articulation: Have each ball say word, phrase, sentence and they have to say their sound in one of those. You could have phrases written on it with a blank to add any word. This way you could use the same balls with a multitude of kids. Pragmatics: Conversation starters on each ball. If you're using the Social Thinking Curriculum you could have an Unthinkable on each ball. Fluency: The balls could have different types of disfluencies. The child picks out the ball and has to use that disfluency with a pre-generated word or phrase. Voice: Put the different strategies you use plus additional breathing activities etc. Receptive: Put directions on each of the balls and the child has to follow that direction. I like the idea above about spatial concepts and having the child act out that spatial concept with the ball Expressive: Put a verb on the ball and the child has to come up with the past and future tense. You could also have one word on the ball like places, people, times, because... and the child has to determine what wh- question goes with that answer. All I know is I'm ...
Becca Jarzynski Oh, I totally see a game. Bounce the balls into the jar! Work on expressive language - two word phrases and concepts (bounce ball, red ball, yellow ball, blue ball, ball in, ball out), grammatical morphemes (Two balls! Balls bouncing), receptive language (I need two balls, you get one; Find two red balls!). :)
Ruth Ness I missed this opportunity to participate. Where was the discussion first posted?
Have a Question to Pose, or a Pin you would like to Start a Discussion About? Post your Question or the link to the master pin for questions/posts HERE: ht.ly/8ML7c (If you post your question to a repin and not this master pin, we will never see it!!)

Also note that topics proposed on weekends may not be posted to their own pins until Monday, so please hold those responses until I get get the question/topic onto its own pin.. Thanks! - Heidi

NEW QUESTION FOR SLPeeps on PINTEREST for DISCUSSION: @Julia Pike asks - "Julia Pike For all of you who work with Spanish speaking populations- I have several young monolingual Spanish speaking kids who are unable to produce either Spanish /r/ (the trill or the tap), but they are stimulable for the English /r/. Should I be focused on trying to have them produce a Spanish /r/? Since they are theoretically going to transition to English eventually, part of me wonders if it is necessary. Thoughts?"
Why is it so hard to get speech homework back? Please, please, please, click on the link below and fill out this survey on homework programs. It's only ten questions long and your answers do not have to be anything profound or life-altering. We just want as much input as possible so we can get a good representation of what is happening with other SLPs out there. Let's problem solve together!

Let's "Speechify" Hot Chocolate Math! -- Alright SLPeeps. I saw this and thought it was just adorable for a winter themed activity. How can we make this an SLP activity the kids will adore? I was thinking something about putting words in the chocolate part and having the marshmellows represent the phoneme segments? What do you think? Once we come up with the perfect activity someone can make it and photograph it and we can feature it on the blog and the rest of the board #slpeepsonpinterest -- Heidi

Tawni Miller You could also work on literacy...write a word on each mug and count the number of syllables with the marshmallows or segment sounds, etc. Thanks for the ideas!
Maggie Gons For younger children you could use real cups and target prepositions and quantity concepts (just one, all, etc.). Also target requesting for more marshmallows, a cup, etc. to work on expressive language for EI.
Suzanne Herman Make the math problems into story problems. This way you can target vocabulary concepts, comprehension, processing skills, speech and literacy skills during reading the problems, and you could even throw in some pragmatic language work by asking questions like "Why do you think Jane gave away 3 of her candies to her friend? What did her friend say to her when she was given the candy?"
Maegan Sprow you could use it to work on giving directions and using specific language. Put a marshmallow on the cup for each step in the directions, and then put the directions on numbered strips of paper coming out of the cup (brown to look like hot chocolate, of course). At the end of the lesson, try following each of the sets of directions and see which work and which didn't, who had the most descriptive/colorful language, and who gave the most precise directions. It would make a cute bulletin board about different ways to give directions.
Maegan Sprow one more idea to go with giving detailed directions...you could also have students put a marshmallow in/on the cup for each adjective that they can think of to describe hot chocolate.
