This week’s Friday Favorite is Bad Apple by Edward Hemingway 🍎🐛

This book is great to address action verbs, emotions and descriptive words 🗣️

My patients love to search for these apple containers around my therapy room. 🕵🏼‍♀️ I fill them with their vocabulary targets or words consisting of their speech sound goals. They would also be great practice for prepositions and following directions! 👂

The Artic Orchard craft by Panda Speech on Teachers Pay Teachers is a fun way to practice speech sounds in exchange for stickers! 🍏

Happy Friday, everyone! ☎️

This week’s Friday Favorite is “There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves” by Lucille Colandro 🍂

This book is great for targeting fall vocabulary, initial /l/, s-blends, sequencing and pronouns 🤓

I like to scatter the objects around the room to give patients a movement break while reading and they always enjoy “feeding” the Old Lady 👵🏻

Bonus points for pairing this activity with a craft to address fine motor skills and make our OT friends proud ⭐️

Thankful for dollar stores and old shoe boxes for making this activity a reality!

(I got the craft from My Fabulous Class on Teachers Pay Teachers 🍎)

Happy Friday, everyone! ☎️
