Target language comprehension & sentence production of temporal and spatial concepts using your speech therapy students' math curriculum! These teaching scripts, Task Cards, & NO PREP Worksheets will help our students understand decimals by targeting language in the context of math. This resource contains math task cards and worksheets to ensure that what we do in our therapy room will generalize in the classroom for our students with speech and language deficits.

All SLPs knows how much language is embedded in our students’ math lessons. It is often taught in the classroom through following directions (“Look before the decimal”) or questioning (“Where is the 2?”), but we know that our students are often unable to follow the directions or answer those questions.

This resource solves that problem! Help students to understand the spatial and temporal concepts needed to learn decimals, while emphasizing expressive language development in order to participate in classroom discussions. Teaching these concepts while using numbers allows for quicker generalization into the classroom.

Included in this resource:

• Teaching Scripts for Before/After and Place Value

• Task Cards/Flash Cards can be used to drill concepts to improve retention. They can be paired with motivating board games. These task cards include:

  • 12 Before/After Following Directions in Decimals Task Cards

  • 12 Sentence Production (Use for Before/After, Left/Right, & Place Value) Task Cards
  • 12 Place Value Task Cards with Place Value Visual (ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions, tenths, hundredths, thousandths, ten thousands, hundred thousands)
  • 13 Articulation task cards for final "s" and final "ths" to distinguish place value in sentence production

• Visual Aids - 23 different visual aids with options for every learner and teaching style

• NO PREP Worksheets to extend learning, engage students, and improve generalization of concepts

This resilience resource can help your students develop skills and strategies to adapt to difficult circumstances and maintain their emotional and mental well-being. It focuses on helping the students to build strengths to help them cope with difficulties and challenges in school and thrive in adversity.

Our students' life at school can be challenging and lead to disengagement and lack of concentration and focus.

Creating a positive environment for our students in school could help them build their resiliency to help them cope withand manage the difficulties they encounter. We believe building a positive environment will make our students feel supported, more engaged, more connected to their teachers and classmates, and achieve better academic results.

One of the strengths we want to develop and enhance is resilience.

**Resilience **is the ability to bounce back from difficulties and not let failure overcome and drain your resolve but find a way to rise again. By helping our students boost their resiliency, they experience more positive emotions than negative emotions, are less depressive, have greater resistance to stress, and it also boosts their immune system which leads to good health.

Our resilience lesson includes:

What is resilience and what is not resilience

Keeping positive

Goal-setting

Feelings activity

Problem Solving

Character Strengths

Stress Management
