I am a big fan of Miss Speechie’s products, especially the ones created for older students.  This activity addresses listening/reading strategies and vocabulary with a fun dice game.

original-1039064-1

I can’t wait to purchase this “groovy” looking activity from SLPrunner!  Tie Dye Language addresses multiple meaning words, inferencing, similes, metaphors, idioms, emotions/perspective taking.  My middle and high school kiddos are going to have so much fun with this!
home-1104606-1

I am so excited about this incredible activity from Jenna Rayburn!  SpeechTube features six lessons using YouTube videos to address a wide variety of speech and language goals including : Comprehension/Conversation probes, Vocab Matching, Vocab sentence generation, Articulation word recording, Articulation word sentences, Parts of speech search, Story Grammar Graphic Organizer, Write a Review, Summary, Start a conversation, Describe and Draw the Character.

I LOVE these music themed worksheets from SpeechyMusings!   My older students are so into their  music and will definitely give me their full attention for this activity!  There are so many ways to use it for addressing language goals!

 

home-691088-1

Natalie Snyders has a great product for building vocabulary. I have purchased other vocabulary building  products from her and find them all very useful with so many older student on my caseload.  This product is designed to strengthen a student’s testing vocabulary throughout an entire school year, with one word used per week (with a total of 40 words). The forty words selected for this product are aligned to the Common Core State Standards, and are ones that are often found in directions and standardized tests.

These are just some of the great items I plan on purchasing. Check out some of the other great activities SLP’s are blogging about by visiting the linky party . Have fun shopping!

👋 Just stopping in to welcome some new followers a 👋 Just stopping in to welcome some new followers and share a little bit about  my other account...The Kidz Kitchen @thekidzkitchenofnj , with you. 

The Kidz Kitchen is a unique, hands-on cooking program where kids come together to cook, create, communicate, and collaborate in every class. 🍎👩‍🍳✨

The Kidz Kitchen is more than just a place to learn how to make delicious recipes — it’s the heart and soul of my journey as both a speech-language pathologist and a passionate home cook and baker. 💬🥣 

For years, I created themed snack activities during my speech and language sessions to make learning fun and engaging. What began on my blog, Cooking Up Good Speech and Language (www.speechsnacks.com), has grown into a dynamic, in-person experience where those same ideas have come to life!

Each Kidz Kitchen class blends language development with culinary creativity. We focus on building essential communication skills — like following directions, using rich vocabulary, staying organized, and working as a team — all while making fun and tasty dishes together. It's learning that sticks… and tastes good too! 🌟

Check out this creative display outside her speech room where students can cast their vote on whether statements are facts or opinions using our Fact/Opinion cards. 🎉 What an engaging and interactive way to boost awareness of speech, language, and hearing while also teaching a valuable critical thinking skill!

Looking for a fun and meaningful way to celebrate this month in your school? Head over to my TpT store to grab this resource—it’s packed with activities to promote National Speech-Language-Hearing Month in a way your students will love! 💙

My cooking classes for kids teach a blend of culinary skills and communication concepts.

Have you seen the viral AI-generated action figures #aidoll taking over your feed?? — Meet Chef Rose—Collector’s Edition! 👩‍🍳✨ 

We’re jumping on the bandwagon and having some fun by creating our very own AI doll--- complete with our logo apron and some fun cooking accessories!

Flashback to Day One in The Kidz Kitchen! It’s ha Flashback to Day One in The Kidz Kitchen!

It’s hard to believe that just a year ago, we opened our doors for the very first time, welcoming young chefs into our kitchen. In just two weeks, we’ll kick off YEAR TWO with our Spring session, and we couldn’t be more excited!

Swipe through these photos from our very first day—featuring Chef Rose (owner),
our amazing assistant chefs Marie and Allie, and our very first morning and afternoon classes of junior chefs! We’ve come so far since that day, learning, growing, and teaching countless kids the joy of cooking.

We’ve learned SO MUCH, grown as a team, and taught so many amazing kids the joy of cooking. From mastering kitchen skills to building confidence and friendships, this journey has been incredible.

We can’t wait to welcome back our returning junior chefs and meet a whole new group of future foodies. The countdown to March 15th is ON—let’s get ready to cook, create, communicate and collaborate!
Feeling incredibly honored to have written a piece Feeling incredibly honored to have written a piece for The ASHA Leader, the national magazine published by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association about my business, @thekidzkitchenofnj

As a speech pathologist with years of experience, bringing my passion for cooking and communication together through The Kidz Kitchen has been a dream come true. 🌟

I’m so proud to share my story in this publication and hope it inspires others to follow their dreams too.

When pop culture meets communication science----I'm geeking out on this study from The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America. Researchers recently analyzed years of Taylor Swift interviews to study how dialects and vocal patterns evolve. Their findings show that not only has her dialect shifted over time, but her speaking voice register has also changed. This research highlights how speech is dynamic and influenced by social, cultural, and personal factors—offering fascinating insight into the evolution of language and communication.
