Bridget Waddell –
I LOVE this resource! Pictures are beautiful and engaging. And the activities are simple enough for lower elementary and also challenging enough for 5th graders! Thanks!!
Kayleigh S. –
This resource was amazing. I was collecting resources for my outer space theme and I have a range of kids and their abilities. This resource was perfect for those kids who are using higher language skills such as answering “wh” questions. It’s very well organized and the students really enjoyed it.
Lori P. –
I LOVE these Themed Units. There are numerous language activities so I can use them with the majority of my caseload. They make therapy lesson planning a breeze. This Outer Space theme is out of this world! Please keep the themed units coming!
Stacie M. –
I absolutely love this outer space theme, and so do my students! It’s comprehensive and fun to use while targeting goals. Great product!
Philippa R. –
This comprehensive resource proved so popular with my caseload

I love how there are language targets for my whole 2nd-6th grade caseload! This also pairs perfectly with the Searching For Home narrative unit. Loving the space themed materials!
Alyssa H. –

Rebecca Ansen –
Great resource! I love these themed language units!
Tracy R. –
I love the Themed lessons from Speech Musings. They are perfect for mixed groups and can be used and supplemented with videos and other materials over multiple sessions. I own them all! Thank you!
taylor S. –
As with all of Speechy Musings products, I knew I would be getting something reliable, easy to use, and engaging–this product hit the mark for everything I was looking for and more! I’ve never thought about doing an outer space unit, but my kids loved it!
Marti F. –
The themed units from Speechy Musings are fantastic and this Outer Space unit is no different. Speechy Musing resources are packed with evidence-based high quality, no fluff content. The Themed Units are my favorite of the Speechy Musings products. 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, 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 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.
Haeleigh R. –
I love all of these themed language units so much! They offer activities for a variety of goals which makes them very flexible resources. I was particularly looking to start a space unit and between this and Searching For Home I am covered! As always, I love the design of the materials – the layouts, fonts, and images chosen all have a lot of thought and an eye for design behind them. My students are enjoying their mission to space this month!
Kayla Megan –
SOOOO comprehensive! My students are so engaged when we work on this unit!
Heather E. –

Lindsey S. –
Easy prep resource that I can pair with a lot of my space themed activities, books and toys!!
Hannah M. –
I love how inclusive and comprehensive these bundles are. I only had a minor inconvenience with this bundle, but not because of the bundle itself. I had to try three different computers to get the files to open, but once I found one that would, I was amazed. Thank you for your time and hard work that goes into each and every one of these.
Erin Proffit –
Very comprehensive. Great scaffolding with visual supports. Engaging and easy to use.
L S. –
The range of language areas covered in this one product is amazing. I’m not sure I’d ever get through every single part but it’s a great resource to have alongside curriculum areas. This was my first SM theme unit and I’m probably going to trade up for the rest of the bundle, even though some of them aren’t relevant (e.g. no squirrels here), it’s such a high quality resource overall.
L T. –
This resource has been another great addition to this series that has allowed me to use with students who have a wide range of abilities.
Ashley J. –
I love all of these units. I can use them with my entire caseload. They’re very comprehensive and engaging!

I can work on just about every language target my students have with this resource. I love that activities have built-in scaffolding so that I can use them with different ability levels. This resource can cut my planning time drastically — and I can use it for more than one lesson! The purchase price is a BARGAIN for all the good stuff you get.
jeannine A. –
I love everything I get from Speechy Musings!!
melody Z. –
Awesome product that is easy to use and extremely comprehensive
Kayla M. –
So many of my students enjoy learning about the solar system, but so many resources that are out there incorporate cartoon images or content that is not age appropriate for older grade levels. I love how I can target a variety of language skills across different types of language learners with this resource. The content and images are appropriate and spike interest for all ages across my caseload. Thank you for creating materials that incorporate evidence-based strategies that help motivate my students to LEARN!
Ms Magnet SLP –
Love this for my “Space week”.

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.
jodi M. –
These theme units are great. Enough material to use each theme for a minimum of two sessions. Students love the different topics!
Jessica E. –
Loved this for my third graders! They loved working with space so this packet was able to target so many of their various goals while still keeping it interesting… over a few weeks since the bundle is so big!

Brandon W. –
Love this resource!!
Anne S. –
This is exactly what I was looking for – this is an amazing resource!
Norah Breindel –
Once again this themed resource has ready-made materials for nearly my entire caseload. I am in my second week of lessons using this topic. Students already seem to love the outer space, and are so excited to show me current events and news they’re eager to find on the topic. I can target basic concepts, higher level vocab, morphology, phonology, comprehension, expressive language, and syntax practically all in one lesson. Children are very engaged with the visual format that they are becoming familiar with. Please keep creating more themed materials like this one (and dinosaurs, weather, trees, volcanoes) that are not focused on holidays or seasons!
Jean F. –
Love these units. Missed the pick your own bundle option a while back or I’d have the other ones that were missed. These themes work for multiple language targets, reading level was a bit difficult for a few of my students who are SLD in reading. REALLY like the organization, the function and utility of all this TPT seller’s resources. Highly recommend her products.
Spazzy Speech –
Love this!!!
Valerie M. –
As always another great unit and fun interesting information to learn for the students. I love how it targets so many different goals.

Meghan N. –
This resource was so comprehensive in targeting so many different language goals. It helps me understand themed therapy so much better! I used to think it would be too confusing, but it is actually so much more efficient and I’m excited to keep implementing more themes!
Megan C. –
Great!
Amber F. –
This is a fantastic resource! SOOOO comprehensive! I appreciate all of the wonderful resources related to the topic. This makes planning so much more efficient, especially for mixed groups.
Amanda S. –
This is a great resource for mixed speech therapy groups
Sherry R. –
Students enjoyed this unit. I am planning on buying more themes.
The Mobile SLP –
This is the first themed unit of Speechy Musings I purchased and WOW. I have used the word comprehensive in a lot of TPT reviews, but this product gives a whole new meaning to the word “comprehensive.” I can literally use this one resource for an entire month’s worth of therapy for all of my caseload (except artic). There aren’t a lot of resources that are 100% appropriate for both my second graders and my fifth graders, but this certainly is. I cannot wait to have all of your themed units!
Sofia A. –
I absolutely loved this resource!! It is so versatile and I used it so many times. I actually paired it with a book and it was great to compare the details from fiction to non-fiction. I also paired it with a YouTube video to expand the child’s knowledge, especially about the space station. It was interesting to see how little background knowledge the students had and how much it expanded after learning.
Melissa J. –
The themed units are one of my favorite therapy resources. I have many of the resources printed and ready to go. They fit along with lessons taught in the classroom, but with specific speech goals. Most language goals are covered in a print and go manner.
Nikole S. –
Lots of valuable materials.
Hannah G. –
This resource covered so many areas of language. The visuals were fantastic. I was able to use this with students with a variety of ability levels. Thank you!
Emily Straw –
I love using this resource with my students to help them develop more language and comprehension skills!
Nelle H. –
Love that there is an option for Boom cards included! My students are on the adapted curriculum and use Unique learning as their classroom curriculum. This has been a perfect way to target some of the educational elements while supporting their learning needs. I also have used this with students who use AAC and it was wonderful!
Mary Cotton –
I love speechy musings materials. she is so thorough. I have a student who is super into space so we’ve been doing this unit in our sessions. His behavior has improved so much!
