Tear Off Ads As Homework Or Carryover
An idea struck me earlier this week, so I played around with it to see if it would indeed work. We want our students to succeed in the therapy room, right? However, the progress that we are really aiming for is for them to succeed OUTSIDE the therapy room…that is, in the classroom, at home, or out in the community.
Homework and carryover are two things that I know I struggle with. The challenge can be getting students to return it…and in some cases, just to do it.
Have you ever seen those tear off ads? The ones with little strips of paper with a phone number or website that you can tear off to call/visit later on? Yep…they’re getting “speechified!”
Cut out the whole rectangle, then cut horizontally so the words on the right are in individual strips. Your students leave with it and bring it back when the strips are gone, meaning they practiced saying the sounds (in words, phrases, or sentences) with multiple different people. It’s based on the honor system, meaning you won’t really know if Johnny just leaves the room and rips them off himself. BUT I’m hoping that because it’s likely “new,” it might be motivating to them!!
I included 1 sheet (3 cards) for: initial /r/, er, or, ire, ar, air, and ar, plus a blank one so you can write in whatever targets you want. Click here to get yours!
Hope you enjoy this freebie!
The is great, thanks for sharing!
