    I will continue to buy speechy musing’s resources for story grammar because they are so clear, easy to follow, and easy to read.

  18. Susan M. –

    My student loved the way the content was presented and very quickly mastered it. He has Down syndrome and I thought he might need far more repetition but with each step he found it easier to adapt to this way of working. He has just come from the US to South Africa and everything is still very new so I was thrilled that he enjoyed the work so much.

  19. Janet M. –

    LOVE this resource — it’s a total “go to” for me. SO easy to use and gives me lots of options for lots of different students. One student in particular made huge gains this last term using this. I also just used the Story grammar visuals with photos that were motivating for him (he loves cats, so I looked up funny cat pics online & we used those as a basis for storytelling). I also gave a copy of the visual to his teacher/education assistant and they used them in class. His teacher has told me twice that he’s really improved in his story telling and overall confidence in speaking this term. Yay!

  89. Hailey P. –

    This resource is making teaching narrative language and story retell so much easier! I have tried Story Grammar, but my student’s just we’re getting it. I have this resource saved in a folder for each student who needs it so that we can keep track of what stories we have read. It’s super straight forward and my students are finally understanding the story parts!

  90. Maggie C. –

    I have used story grammar a lot this school year, and this resource has been wonderful. As groups we find various story grammar elements with different colored pens, find words containing our speech sounds, found words we could substitute with a synonym that doesn’t change the meaning, etc. I have found a way to utilize this resource with mixed groups so everyone’s targets are met.

  91. Emily S. –

    I love all of these resources and how applicable to the education and easy to use.

  92. Jamie S. –

    I’ve used this both during remote learning and in-person. I really liked how this resource was a level-up from the Learning Story Grammar Parts (I own that one too). The stories are more sophisticated and nuanced as well.

    I especially liked how the story and retell prompts were all included on a single page. I find it really effective to teach students a structure/tool and then have that tool available to them right away.

  93. Denise W. –

    These Visuals have helped my students expand their storytelling to include more details! This activity helped everything “click” finally! Thank you!

  94. Kayla Megan –

  105. Marisol T. –

    I love the original story grammar set – so I was really happy there were more stories! I really enjoy using these with my higher grade levels. Last year I mostly worked with 1-3rd and now I mostly work with 3-5th, so these have come in handy quite often for language therapy groups.

  111. ERIN P. –

    I enjoyed using this during my speech therapy sessions. It was helpful for targeting goals.
