As the author of a blog that combines food/cooking along with ideas for speech and language enhancement, I enjoy creating unique posts that can bring these two worlds together. I realize that this is a very different type of blog than most speech-themed blogs out there, nonetheless, I hope you appreciate my concept and purpose and find the information enjoyable and interesting.
When I discovered this music CD and its catchy title, I couldn’t help but contact the creator and share my blog with her. She quickly responded and was more than happy to send me some copies to give away on my site!!
Introducing…. “Do You Like Pie?” a music compilation created by reknown Speech-Language Pathologist , Pam Marshalla. Pam is a leader in the nation-wide oral-motor movement. She has presented hundreds of workshops on oral-motor, apraxia and articulation therapy to tens of thousands of speech and language pathologists who have attended her state, regional and national conferences. Pam is the author of several programs including How to Stop Thumbsucking (and Other Oral Habits): Practical Solutions for Home and Therapy (Jan 1, 2001) and Successful R Therapy: Fixing the Hardest Sound in the World (Jan 1, 2004). You can learn more about Pam and view info about her workshops, materials and read up on therapy Q & A’s by visiting her site.
And now for the giveaway!!!!!!!
DO YOU LIKE PIE? If so, I have TWO to give away (CD’s, that is, not actual pies!) , thanks to the generosity of Pam Marshalla!!
If you are a speech therapist, teacher or parent of kiddos in the birth to preschool age range, this CD is for you!
Each song has two different types of children in mind: those who speak very well and those who don’t. All children will love the rhythms and the rhymes. Children who speak very well will learn all the words over time. Children who are challenged in speech and language will have fun singing the parts specially designed for them – the parts with repeating phonemes, syllables and words.
This CD has songs that can be used in individual or group speech-language practice. Use them at home, in the car, in the classroom or therapy room. Sing along with the CD. Then sing the songs, or the choruses, later without the music.
The CD does not contain a printed version of all the song lyrics, so if you are looking for them, feel free to download pdf version of all song lyrics here!!!
I was entertained and amused by so many of the fun and inventive lyrics and voices used throughout this CD. I think the animated voices of the characters will grab the attention of many little ones! The silly sounding voices are a great way to get kids to listen attentively while distracting them from the speech goals being addressed. The cd targets speech sounds, syllables and words for CVCV (consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel) patterns, exercising intonation and rhythm, CV and VC syllables, the /z/ sound in isolation and syllables, and practicing words that start with /b/. You can visit the “COOK AND SING” page for my full review of “Do You Like Pie?” and some other ways I have incorporated song and music into my sessions!!
I believe in utilizing a multi-sensory approach to speech/language therapy (obviously you would realize this based on my use of food and cooking to enhance speech and language). Music and movement are also great multi-sensory activities. Do you use music in your therapy sessions??? If so, how do you integrate it into your lessons??? What speech and language goals do you target through the use of music??
And if you would like a REAL taste of pie, check out some of my Pie Posts: Pumpkin Whoopie Pie and Easy Peezy Apple Pie.
