As a thank you to everyone, I am setting up my first rafflecopter giveaway. Not being sure how to begin, I contacted Pocket SLP, and they graciously gave me a code to give away Pocket Pairs, an app that targets 12 common phonological processes. There are modes for receptive and expressive activities. When playing the "Receptive Mode," students need to choose the picture in the pair that uses their targeted speech sounds. Students are prompted to listen for their sound, then tap the picture that has the targeted sound. If correct, a check appears on the picture; if incorrect, an X appears.
In "Expressive Mode," the students are prompted to say both targeted words. There are buttons for the student, parent, or therapist to use to track correct, approximate and incorrect responses. Responses can also be recorded.
At the end of your session, you can click on the pencil to get your results. Correct and incorrect responses are shown with percentages and examples of targeted words. There is also a section for therapist comments. I found this tool to be useful when showing the students how they did. Since I have only had a day to use the app, I have not shared data with parents yet, but I really like the email and print options. The data is shared in a table format with a written explanation, and gives suggestions for homework. There is also room for the parent to comment as well. This feature should definitely get the parents involved!
The giveaway runs today through midnight on Sunday. Monday I will choose the winner. Thanks again to everyone for your support! It has been wonderful getting to know many of you, and I hope that you enjoy stopping by!

I would love to read a blog post about creative ways to get what you need at school...additional funding for materials, assessments, etc. What kind of evidence do you need to provide to get what you need?
ReplyDeleteI am in the process of researching how to write a grant. When I can gather everything together, I will post about it.
Deletesounds like a great app that would be very motivating for students
ReplyDeleteIt is!
DeleteI would like to read a blog post on working in the classroom to achieve Common Core Standards.
ReplyDeleteCommon Core is definitely one of the upcoming posts. Thanks!
DeleteI would like to see a blog post on making articulation more fun for students. I feel like I have exhausted ever avenue. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I definitely have a few tricks up my sleeve.
DeleteI love book related activities. I just did Ella the Elegant Elephant this week in one of my groups and was able to do some comprehension activities, questioning, social skills. Love hitting many different targets with one book that the kids enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI see so many companions for books, I love using them, and definitely want to give that a try. Thanks for the suggestion!
DeleteI would love to see more reviews about apps, speech and non speech, since i don't know too many apps.
ReplyDeleteI have over 300 apps, and will be trying to review the ones that are great for speech and language services, whether they are promoted as speech apps or not. I love using apps to increase engagement and motivation in therapy. They are definitely powerful tools!
DeleteWould love to see more info on Common Core :)
ReplyDeleteComing soon!
DeleteI would love to see more activities on auditory/reading comprehension! Love all your stuff thank you for keeping up with so many materials and posts :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteCongrats on all your followers - I've loved your site for a while now and am glad it's getting the love it deserve! I'd love to see more info on Common Core, since everyone's feeling the pressure to tie what we're doing into it! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThere certainly is a lot if pressure for us to integrate our services with Common Core. It has been an interesting year and a half trying to figure out how to incorporate Common Core into my therapy sessions, it is one of the reasons I began creating materials.
DeleteI would like to see posts regarding common core or RTI, particularly related to language concerns. It seems easy enough for articulation but I always feel uncertain how to be effective or measure improvement with RTI for language concerns.
ReplyDeleteGood idea!
DeleteI like blogs and activities on any type of remediation for young children (prek to early elementary). Specific areas of interest are auditory processing, word retrieval, articulation. I also like information on the common core or Rti and coordinating that with foundational receptive/expressive language and communication skills.
ReplyDelete:-)
DeleteI would love to see a blog on auditory processing and/or common core.
ReplyDeleteI trained with one of the best audiologists (from way back when, LOL!) and am looking forward to posting more about auditory processing.
DeleteI'd like some things for Apraxia and Auditory Processing. I love working with the articulation kids.
ReplyDelete:-)
DeleteI'd love some ideas for working on memory, and auditory comprehension. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteYou are in luck, I have some memory strategies I have been revamping. That will be featured soon....
DeleteI like blog posts that talk about organization of materials and data.
ReplyDeleteAlways fun to see ideas from other people about how they organize data and their therapy rooms.
DeleteI love your information! More information on problem solving for older students (middle school) would be helpful!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate you sharing your work! Great ideas.
ReplyDeleteI truly enjoy reading your posts! I like posts on organizing our "spaces" and materials as well as any related to CC and language. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteThank you! Love hearing from other SLPs, love your info!
ReplyDeleteI need carryover/generalization articulation activities for 4th-8th grades. The only thing most of my students lack is carryover. I have too many students to follow them around to all of their classes. Most parents are not doing speech homework and teachers are swamped with other things. Ideas needed...
ReplyDeleteI would like to see a blog post related to more of your Middle School materials. :)
ReplyDeleteI have to get back to my old building, left all of my own materials there for the therapist who took over for me.... Looking through what I have on my computer, and will hopefully get those things up soon. I know you are waiting for them!
DeleteThis sounds like another great app to spice up the ipad activities :)
ReplyDeleteI would also like to see more carryover activities!!
