This themed language therapy unit includes a wide variety of materials and resources for your students with language goals using a fun and engaging WEATHER theme!
In this unit, there are materials directly targeting the following areas:
- Core vocabulary (here, good)
- Basic concepts (above, wet)
- Describing (rain, sun, cloud, wind, rainbow)
- Tier 2 vocabulary (change, freeze, severe, extreme, temperature)
- Affixes (fore-, -y)
- Inferencing/predicting
- Sentence combining
- Comprehending narrative texts
- Comprehending non-fiction texts
- WH questions
- Comparing and contrasting
- Storytelling
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 Slidesâ˘ď¸ versions of the worksheets are also included!
This unit also includes a deck of Boom cardsâ˘ď¸ that relate to many of the activities in this resource!

I cannot say enough about these language therapy units, and this new weather theme does not disappoint!! I love keeping a hard copy of these units ready to go in a binder so I can slide a page into a dry erase sleeve and use over and over, as well as pull up the digital download on my smart board or in a virtual session and work on practically any ability level. So handy and so relevant!!

I love the diversity of pictures in Shannon’s materials. Also, my students tend to find ‘real pictures’ more engaging than line drawings (line drawings are also good, because they are not “babyish” in this resource. I have a few students with ASD who are weather-obsessed, so this is a great way to cover lots of language goals.
Danielle C. –
Just like all the other wonderful themed language resources, this provides non-fiction information in tangible ways for all learners. It is a great resource for my students, and I can easily pair it with other weather activities!
Aisuluu B. –

This weather unit is wonderful! It includes so many activities that are relevant to the varied goals of my caseload. It’s obvious that so much thought goes into the design from the real-life photos, to the simple layout, and readable font. I’m looking forward to using it throughout the year as my students experience different kinds of weather!

Mary Anne R. –
My students really love Shannon’s themed units, and living in a climate where we have distinctly different seasons they are all interested in the topic of weather. I love the way language concepts are woven into short essays, paragraphs, vocabulary sheets and sentence activities. The topic-based approach mirrors the way materials are presented in classrooms and has really helped with generalization of skills outside the speech room!
Sarah D. –
I love the variety of activities and vocabulary based on a single theme!
Melanie W. –

Marti F. –
I like themes that any student can relate to and weather of course is one of those. Speechy Musings resources are excellent and this theme based units is no exception. Great for groups with mixed language goals and easily used for a wide range of abilities and target goals–this unit makes planning so much easier. Visuals are clear and easy to understand along with helpful graphic organizers. As always this theme is CHOCK FULL of instructional activities. I always feel like I am getting my money’s worth when I buy Speechy Musings products.
