Here’s some reasons why other SLPs have loved this resource:
ā„Ā āI began using this resource minutes after I downloaded it and my kids love it. We live in a state with a lot of agriculture so this was high-interest for them, which is always motivating. I love these theme-based units because they cover a variety of language skills, are useful with several skill levels, and make good use of photographs, which I use for inferencing as well as describing. Just a great resource.ā – Mary Anne R.
ā„Ā āA lovely resource containing a great variety of hands-on activities that really keep the students focused. Content is carefully planned and graded and makes it so much easier to plan. Beautifully laid out with clear instructions and excellent photos.ā – Susan M.
ā„Ā āAnother great themed resource that offers so many great activities for any language goal! I love how each unit comes with a nonfiction picture book to build on background knowledge. I then pair these activities with stories for narrative-based language intervention but can use these activities alongside in mixed group so everyone can work on their goal while staying on theme! And as always, I love the design of the materials.ā – Haeleigh R.

I am such a huge fan of this resource. I co-teach thematic lessons in a K-2 classroom with students that have autism. Thematic teaching provides our students with functional foundations for learning that can help generalize into other settings and build upon real-life experiences. I love that this resource covers several speech and language skill areas. It is so helpful in planning for students that present with a variety of skills/language levels. I also am able to utilize sections of Shannon’s ‘theme’ lessons to address specific goal areas (compare/contrast, prepositions, making inferences/predictions from pictures, etc.) separately.
Jamie S. –
This material was so comprehensive, I was able to use it with students in all grade levels. It targeted so many skills, and I really appreciated that the sections were separated out. It was a big time-saver.
I like that the vocabulary targets were related by the theme. There’s lots of research to support that strategy, and I thought this material was so well thought out!
Julianne K. –
This is a perfect resource for many grade levels and different goals!
Miranda H. –

I love all of the resources from Speechy Musings as they are well thought out, research based and engaging for kids. This one is no exception. I love using the themed units as a base of my monthly planning. I know that with these units I will be able to work on any language goal for any student on my caseload because of how she includes a multitude of scaffolded practice. This farming unit in particular is a welcome addition to my go-to resources as many of my students have a good base of knowledge regarding farms and farming. It works for me in the fall during harvesting season or spring when our neighboring farmers are tilling and planting. I also love that there are so many wonderful farm based picture books available that I can work in to add to the depth of this unit.
