This or That: Using Scaredy Squirrel Goes Camping and The Camping Trip in Speech Therapy – Episode 54

With the weather getting nice and families starting to spend more time outside, we wanted to bring that energy into your speech therapy sessions. A lot of families spend the spring and summer months camping and enjoying the outdoors, which is why we’re doing a “this or that” episode with camping books. So, in today’s episode, we’ve chosen the books Scaredy Squirrel and The Camping Trip and are deciphering which book is best used for your speech therapy students.

When doing this type of episode, we’re sharing how we think about selecting books to use during our speech therapy sessions. With each student having different speech and language goals, not every book, even if it’s popular, will be the right fit. To help give you an idea, we discuss each book and share the key concepts and why we’d pick the book off the shelf. They both cover a variety of speech and language concepts, but we do believe one of the books is better to use during your speech therapy sessions. So be sure to check out our this or that episode with camping books for speech therapy to see which one your students will be engaged and learn with! 

Topics Discussed:

• Our process for selecting which speech therapy camping books are right for sessions and specific students
• Reasons why we’d pick each book off the shelf, along with the key concepts you’d target
• Reasons why we wouldn’t choose one of the books to use with our students
• The great resources that are available to you that you can use with each book
