A Month of Therapy Using a Picture Book

The SLP Now Podcast

We’re back at it with another episode of the SLP Now podcast!

Over the next several weeks, we're going to explore various units that are designed to engage and support your students across multiple age groups and skill levels.

This week, we’re diving into the second of a six-week series about literacy-based therapy plans that you can use across your entire school-aged caseload. Whether you're an experienced speech-language pathologist or new to the field, we hope that these episodes will provide valuable insights and practical strategies you can put to use right away.

Last week we talked about early language unit, which is perfect for preschool and kindergarten students. Today we're diving into a picture book unit, which is great for that K through grade 2 range.

In the episode, we discuss Dr. Ukrainetz’s five step literacy-based therapy framework, using it to target goals like:

• Articulation
• Basic concepts
• Grammar and syntax
• Phonological awareness
• Answering questions
• Comprehension

…and more!

All of the activities in this unit are language rich, and they provide the perfect context to target almost any goal in your speech therapy sessions—even if you’re targeting multiple goals with mixed groups.

Now let’s dive in!
