I am able to use this product with my entire caseload. Thanks for a wonderful product!
Danielle B. –
All of the students on my caseload (K-9) are some version of hybrid or full virtual. These language activities are really easy to explain to students and parents and simple to share on my google classroom. I’d absolutely recommend these to any SLP working with in-person and virtual students. The sheets are organized well and are aesthetically pleasing which is a bonus.
Lauren W. –
I love how this resource can be downloaded into single files – this made it very easy to open the document that I needed from the bundle and then use in Zoom!

Lisa J. –
I like it
Jamie S. –
I love this packet, and I feel like I’ve only used a fraction of it. This could have easily worked for the majority of my caseload because it’s so thorough.
I especially like the vocabulary sections, and it worked out great for my language group, as well as homework for my students. I can’t image the time involved to make this, but I really appreciate it!

Highly engaging for my students during distance learning- am planning on using it in person as well! Thank you!
Alysha W. –
I love this resource. My favourite thing about it is how incredibly versatile it is. I can pull it out for an AAC user, a grade 2 student or a grade 6 student and use it for a variety of goals. I’ve used it to expand sentence length, to increase describing skills, to formulate questions for conversation building and more. I am not usually one to work with themes (I’m just not organized enough) but this is the perfect way to do it! I also use it outside of the theme and it works so well. Can’t wait to purchase more of the themed units!
JP Speech Pathology –
I have loved using this resources with a few offering clients I support in 1:1 therapy. They especially love tvs describing activities and it allows them
To structure their responses. This goes way further then your typical about me document. Thanks so much for creating this 🙂
Margaret M. –
Every fall and every time I have a new student, I break this out. Sometimes I bring it out midway through the year so we can update and it’s so versatile as it can be used for social skills too – as in “Introduce yourself” or “ask your friend what his favorite food is!”
Rosanne Sinatra –
Great resource – Engaging and age appropriate! Thank you!
arliene R. –
Very comprehensive theme based resource which is diverse enough to use for a variety of goals.

Kathryn Jane –
Thank you!
Rebecca D. –
