This resource is intended to give your themed therapy material collection a boost with targeted, explicit activities, visuals, and worksheets. Think of it like a starter toolkit that will guide your therapy planning for ~2-4 weeks depending on your caseload and therapy style.
All of the worksheets include editable text boxes so that you can type directly on the worksheet on a computer. In addition, Google Slides™️ versions of the worksheets are also included!
This unit also includes a deck of Boom cards™️ that relate to many of the activities in this resource!
And check out all the benefits of using themes in speech therapy, and also my construction extension activity ideas if you need just a bit more!
Here’s some reasons why other SLPs have my construction themed resource:
♥ ”I am using this resource right now with my students and they just love it! These themed units include materials for every goal and almost every student speech and language level. My kiddos are NEVER bored with these topics, and they save me all kinds of time on prep! These are some of the best speech-language resources on TPT.” – Mary Anne R.
♥ ”I love the theme of Construction–something that is a popular theme among my younger students in particular, but all themed units from Speechy Musings are fantastic. The units are comprehensive covering a huge variety of language objectives. The lessons are appropriate for young or moderate-severely language delayed students to mildly delayed or older school-aged students. The units make your planning easy which is especially nice trying to address a wide variety of goals for therapy groups. The themes provide context, relevance, and are more engaging than isolated exercises.” – Marti F.
♥ ”So many of my middle school boys were thrilled to get their hands on something they were FINALLY interested in! Keep them coming :)” – Colleen T.

As always, Shannon’s resources are well thought out and give lots of ability to tailor to specific students on my caseload. This is a theme that is well-loved by many of my students, especially lower elementary. Easy to use & also easy to pass on to Educational Assistants for follow up in class.

Visually appealing, great content, very engaging. These units last me weeks and save so much time in my planning. One suggestion – I would love an articulation word list included in these language-based therapy packets! I usually add a themed book or an article from readworks.org to supplement these units.

These themed language units have completely changed how I approach language therapy! I used to be afraid of themes, thinking about all the extra time and energy I would need to put into a well rounded lesson plan. These units do every ounce of planning for you! I tend to use one theme per month and pick a picture book or short video that will go with the theme. We start with the nonfiction book, work through specific resources provided that align with the student’s goals and end the month with a picture book or short video to use our new knowledge in conversation and comprehension. I also love that in doing therapy this way the skills are being reinforced the same way every month, but the kids don’t get bored because we’re learning about different topics. I also have to say that I love that these themes can be used at any time of the year, game changer!
Katharine P. –

These are great for my construction themed unit! I printed and laminated some of the activities and print and use some worksheets in my small groups as well. So many fun construction themed books to use as well!
Elizabeth B. –
I love all of these All About resources. They are so thorough and I can use them with almost every student on my caseload. This was a perfect resource to use because we have a new school building under construction right outside the window of my speech office. All my students love to come and watch the construction and therapy is enhanced with the material in this packet.
Melanie W. –
I love this series of materials. There are enough levels to make it useful for a variety of ability levels.
Anna R. –
This has been great as my building is under construction.
