New Speech Center Ideas... with a GIVEAWAY!

Wednesday, March 6, 2013
Good afternoon everyone! I know a lot of you have been interested in my application of speech centers in my therapy sessions lately. I have a new speech center activity set that I wanted to share with you all. Lauren LaCour from Busy Bee Speech created this activity and it is amazing! If you needed some motivation to get started with speech centers, here it is!

This is a 21 page packet that includes word lists and activities for 5 different centers:
1. Movement Center
2. Word Center
3. Voice Center
4. Doodle Center
5. Game Center
 Below is an example of an /s/ word list. She includes word lists for /s, r, l, th, sh, ch/.

Below is an example of a page from her Movement Center. I love the idea of this center especially since I have mostly young little movers in my room all day!  

Next up is the Words Center. Lauren included different tasks to use with target speech words. For example, "Say it and spell it" or "Say your word with 2 rhyming words." This is great for tying academics into your articulation centers!

The Voices Center is always a hit with students. This is where they are allowed to get a little silly.  The activity cards in this center prompt the kids to say their target word or sentence in a scary voice, a dinosaur voice, a duck voice, a whisper voice, etc. 

The 4th center is the Doodle Center. Here kids get to do some multitasking (and tie in some OT skills!) Some examples of the tasks in this center are: say it while drawing a flower, say it while drawing a face, say it while drawing a sun. 

Last but not least, Lauren has created a Game Center. Here students are to roll a dice and move around the race track. They have to say a target word for each space they move. 

This articulation center pack is a perfect addition to my speech center bag of tricks! The cool thing about this pack is that you don't necessarily have to use these cards only for centers. Have your students use the silly voice cards before they take a turn in Candy Land or have them doodle a picture as they practice a word they pull out of Ned's Head! You can download a copy from Lauren's TpT store for $3.50 (totally worth it!) here or try to win a copy below!
