I’m obsessed with these language units, so I was super excited to see the new dinosaur unit hit the market!! I already had the cooking unit and I use it in all sorts of ways with all sorts of students, so now I will do the same with dinosaurs! Every part of receptive and expressive language, as well as pragmatics, is easily targeted, and of course you can incorporate articulation and fluency too. Such a great tool to have on hand for in-person as well as virtual sessions!!
Roxanne L. –
Speech Musing products are always high quality. I’ve been watching the themed units for awhile. So many of my students LOVE dinosaurs so I decided to make this my first themed language unit purchase and WOW!!! I love how Shannon combined examples of some of her strongest resources around this theme. The consistency of her materials and teaching visuals across products is one of my favorite features of her products. The One Page Lesson plan along is the worth the price and you get SO MUCH MORE!!!! Thank you, thank you!

My students love the dinosaur theme! It stimulated lots of opportunities for language and they were engaged in each goal . I have groups with mixed goals, so it was nice that each student could work on their individual goal and still share the same theme with their peers. This resource is easy to prepare and has all of the elements I’ve been trying to put together myself. Such a time saver!
Jisoo Annice K. –
Was engaging for the young student. Thank you!

Marti F. –
The themed units from Speechy Musings are fantastic and this Dinosaur Unit is no different. Naturally I have a few kids who are dinosaur fanatics so this was certainly a hit with them Speechy Musing resources are packed with evidence-based high quality, no fluff content. All of the Themes 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, though I use them primarily with 2nd or 3rd grade and older. I appreciate that none of the exercises have juvenile illustrations. The units make your planning easy for mixed groups. The themes provide context, relevance, and are more engaging than isolated exercises.
Heather E. –
It targets so many goals and makes therapy planning so easy!
Melanie A. –
This bundle is great for mixed groups on teletherapy. I also printed it and pit in a sheet protector so students could complete the activities with expo markers!
Dana Monaghan –
Thank you for another well-organized and useful resource.
Susan S. –
Thank you for this resource. I love its versatility. I really appreciate all the thought that goes into your resources (e.g. font, visuals, explanations). Speechy Musings is my Go TO!!!

Jade S. –
My students love these themed packets!
Lindsay C. –
I LOVE these themed packets! I was so excited about the dinosaur theme because I have quite a few students who have dinosaurs as their special interest. I’ve been able to target basically any goal with this packet, and it’s easy to select the specific lesson that I need. I just share my screen for teletherapy and type on the PDF, so that’s been fantastic as well. Thanks again for a wonderful resource!
Megan A. –
My dinosaur loving students were THRILLED with these materials! THANK YOU!
Jessica FitzSimons –
This is a great comprehensive recourse. No matter what level your students are at, there is something in here that you can use. I especially loved being able to use it during distance learning via zoom. Very helpful and creative. Thank you!

MelanieSLP –
Love these!! I really like the consistent topic across an awesome variety of language activities. The consistent presentation means that these themed units are so easy to pull out for mixed groups or students with a variety of language goal targets. Not the kind of packet that only has a few useful pages… every sections is easy-to-use for many students or adaptable for many language goals.
Susan M. –
I have only started using this resource with one of my students who has Down syndrome and who speaks Spanish at home. He adores dinosaurs but I have had to go very slowly. This is a fantastic resource and he really WANTS to learn – not an everyday occurrence by any means!
Lorraine A. –
A thorough resource that can be used in mixed groups. Such a popular theme!

Love the variety of goals I can target with these. I am working on finding ways I can incorporate articulation therapy with it too so all of my students are on the same focus/page/resource for the time span I am using it with language kids.
Jill B. –
I really like the themed units and all of the included materials. The kids enjoy them very much.

Kayla M. –
To say this school year has been challenging is an understatement. Speechy Musings has been a godsend for planning mixed groups, hybrid learning, remote learning, and in person groups while live streaming (in) remote students (at the same time!). All of my students are engaged in the lessons because of the photographs and the visual layout and content within the thematic units. It is a win/win! My students have enjoyed the thematic units (cooking, dinosaurs, solar system) and I am able to target a variety language skills within mixed small and large (push-in) groups.

Katherine C. –
These theme units are fantastic! Great with my older students since I can very easily give them choices of things to work on by scrolling up and down. The younger ones loved the vocabulary sorts, and the describing pictures were a big hit.

Theresa G. –
I really love these theme units, especially because you can use them any time of the year. The kids are interested in the topics, and they end up learning some cool facts along with practicing their language skills. I do think these themed units are better for 2nd grade and up. I tried to use some of the spatial concept pages with kindergarten and it didn’t work out so well.
