Language-based literacy intervention for SLPs.
Turn picture books into targeted speech therapy sessions.
Confidently implement the science of reading.

The books you choose matter, even for your “speech The books you choose matter, even for your “speech only” students. Up to 75% of our kids with speech sound disorders also have weaknesses in the language skills that support reading comprehension.

These books all have a strong story plot, so every These books all have a strong story plot, so every articulation session becomes a chance to build narrative skills too. While students practice their target /s/ sound, they are also learning how stories are organized, how characters solve problems, and how to retell events in a meaningful way.
