Articulation Homework
Language Homework
Sound Buckets
When I first started I had absolutely no materials. I knew the basics of what I needed, but as far as games, books etc. that was all on me to purchase. I wanted containers full of objects that were organized by sound. When I realized that would take not only loads of money, but time too, I had to give up the dream. Until.....one day I was snooping around our book closet and came across these alphabet tubs.
Oh my goodness, you should have seen me high tail it out of there to the secretary and call dibs on it.
I use these ALL THE TIME.
Articulation:
Well I'd say it's pretty obvious how great they are to use with articulation therapy.
-Each kid gets their bucket of sounds and has to tell me what each item is.
-Dump a bunch of buckets in the middle of the floor and the kids have to find the items with their sound in it.
-If you have a kid that's working on several sounds, you can work on them all at once by having them sort out the objects into the corresponding bucket.
-Hide the items around the room and then they have to say "I found the _____."
-Use them as game pieces "I'm moving the ____ 4 spaces."
Language:
-Use them to categorize
-Use them to work on prepositions. "I found the sun on top of the table."
-There are so many different objects that I often use them as props for different stories.
-Use them to target function of objects.
-Use them to work on describing features.
-Expanding utterances (see last two suggestions for articulation).
-If they are younger, you could use it as a teamwork exercise. They have to work together to sort all the objects in the right bucket.
