I originally made my one sheet printable speech therapy worksheets (One Sheet Language Lessons – No Prep Speech Therapy Printables) to help me with my middle school caseload. Then, due to popular demand, I made a set for lower language levels too (One Sheet Lower Level Language Lessons – No Prep Speech Therapy Printables)! Read on to hear more about each and how they made my SLP life so much easier!
Speech Therapy Worksheets for Middle School and Upper Elementary Grades
As many of you know, I recently switched jobs and ended up in…. a middle school! I absolutely love it but don’t have a ton of super amazing middle school materials! My caseload is super diverse and everybody in my groups seems to be working on different goals all at once. I needed an easy way to target a bunch of different goal areas! Also, I don’t have an office that I see students in – I go all over the school and do integrated therapy in classrooms and do pull out groups wherever I can find space (often a conference room, empty classroom, library… anywhere!). I needed something portable too! So, I came up with these One Page Language Lessons and fell.in.love. Easy, all-in-one speech therapy worksheets to solve all your problems!
Honest talk here… Does this replace all of my materials? Absolutely not. But it has seriously helped a ton! I printed the entire packet, worksheets and all. I keep them all in a binder. Each week, I pick a new “sheet of the week” and related worksheets and put them into my binder filled with materials for that week. That way all I need is my weekly binder and I’m ready for the majority of goal areas on my caseload. Read on to learn more about this magic material or click here to check it out on TpT.
Included are speech therapy worksheets targeting the following skills:
- Conversation skills
- Grammar
- Figurative language
- Vocabulary
- Compare/contrast
- Narratives
- Prefixes
- Suffixes
- Sequencing
- Inferences
- Story comprehension
- Problem solving
- Story development/creation
- WH questions
Speech Therapy Worksheets for Lower Language Levels (Kindergarten through 2nd grade)
The middle school worksheets were such a success, I wanted to make a lower level option as well. There are just so many things we might need to cover in speech therapy and these make it really easy for me to make sure that everyone is getting what they need. Other SLPs have said they love using these for warm-up activities or to fill the last few minutes of a session that ends quicker than expected. You can print them so they are always ready, or even just pull them up on an iPad (and I included Google slides versions of the worksheets for those of you no-print fans!)
My lower level speech therapy worksheets cover:
- Basic concepts
- Irregular verbs
- Pronouns
- Sequencing
- Categories
- Story comprehension
- Problem solving
- WH questions
- Phonemic awareness
- Describing
- Multiple meaning words
- Following 2-step directions
- Vocabulary
- Sentence formulation
- And more!
How I Use my One Page Speech Therapy Worksheets for Language Goals
These are pretty easy to print and use, but I have a few tips that worked well for me in therapy:
- I tried to include narratives in the bottom section that made it fairly easy to use for inferencing, sequencing, main idea/details and vocabulary. Feel free to use this section to target a variety of skills – not just comprehension.
- For the genre section, don’t feel stuck on simply using the picture to learn about the genre. I love using these age-appropriate images for story creation (it can be hard for our kids to come up with ideas and get started). In addition, you can talk about movies/books/video games (whatever the student enjoys) that are in these genres. This makes it more relatable!
After every FIVE language lessons, I’ve included a quiz. The quizzes are one page as well and assess comprehension as well as the figurative language and vocabulary taught previously in the lessons.
Goals that work well with these worksheets
Because these worksheets target so many speech therapy goals, I highly recommend you check out my speech therapy goal bank for some examples and starting points to get you started.
I do include my upper and lower level language lessons, plus a back-to-school themed packet and a fall themed packet all in one money saving bundle if you have a diverse case load.

These look great for the whole group to target multiple areas all at once! I can definitely see using these with some of my older mixed groups.

Hi! I’ve been following you on IG for a while now. I worked in an elementary school last year, and you always had such amazing and helpful ideas! I was pleasantly surprised to read that you are now working with middle school students, because I am now working in a middle school as well! I’m feeling a little overwhelmed because I don’t have many materials to meet the needs of the students on my caseload. This resource would be extremely helpful!
Shannon
Hi Christine! How amazing! <3 Email me and I'll send along the product!
Kristina
This looks amazing! I can imagine how helpful this would be when working with my diverse groups in the middle school!
Shannan

I love this!! I also work with Middle School students. The struggles are real!! My biggest struggle this year is working with mixed groups. It is so hard to work on multiple goals and keep the kids engaged. This looks like a great resource to use with all the students on my caseload. Definitely adding it to my wishlist on TpT!!
JeniLeigh
What a fantastic resource! That looks incredible for my higher 4th and 5th grade groups who feel that they are just too cool for most of my typical resources! I love the idea of everyone getting exposure to all the different areas you cover as they work through the sheet together!

Rebecca
You are amazing!! I have a lot of your products–they are GREAT! I am in my second year of grad school and am working with middle school and high school age students. This would be a WONDERFUL resource and really help me with planning and meeting the goals and objectives of all my students!
Karina Jahn
I have checked this packet out before when it was first posted on TpT and thought they might be nice to have as material. I work with Pre-K through 8th grade students so I am always looking for materials that can be used across a range of ages and grade levels. This post gives a great overview of the packet and really makes me regret not snatching it up when it was half off! Your materials are always so well made and I appreciate the time you take to create them!!
Becca D

Thanks so much for sharing these. I am certainly going to give them a try . I also have no classroom and organizing them like you said would be easier than lugging around materials. Happy New Years!
Lauren Ward
Wow! These are amazing. As a middle school therapist, you quickly find out that students don’t like being singled out for being the only one working on a particular concept. This makes it easy to target everyone’s goals at once. You rock! I would love to have these! More importantly, my students need these and would love them 🙂
Shannon
Email me at speechymusings@gmail.com and I’ll send the product over! Thanks for commenting!
Angela Schultz
This looks like an amazing activity for middle schoolers, especially to do push-in therapy which my district stresses as THE delivery model.
Nicole

I like the sound of this. I’m working with middle school kids for the first time in my 16 year career and I feel pretty scattered sometimes on trying to find resources. I just put it on my wish list!

Genius! I love this idea. It will definitely make life easier. Less planning, transporting of materials, and less of students being curious about what the others have. This is a must have for mixed groups. It’s on my wish list! AWESOME!
Julie
These are amazing!! I just graduated in May and I always thought I’d be in an elementary school and I ended up in a middle school. I love it but it’s such a struggle finding good materials for all my students without shoveling out a ton of money!
Stacy Lucich
This looks fantastic!!
Jenni Cheek
This product looks very useful and comprehensive! I serve K-12+ and have many students who could use these materials. It looks like a perfect tool for push-in, as well as for getting the most out our time when time is short/valuable!
Jo K
These look great!
Kathy hughes
It looks amazing for targeting some of those missed skills in mixed groups. Love this.
