A Month of Therapy Using an Early Language Picture Book The SLP Now Podcast

- Courses
We’re back at it with another episode of the SLP Now podcast! This week, we’re kicking off the first of a six-week series about literacy-based units that you can use across your whole school-age caseload. This week, we’re getting started with therapy plans for an early language book: Lola Plants a Garden.
Early language books include simpler stories that students love. This unit type is ideal for students who might not be ready to sit through a longer story, are working on more foundational language skills, and who benefit from more of a play-based approach.
In the episode, we discuss Dr. Ukrainetz’s five step literacy-based therapy framework, targeting goals like:
Basic vocabularyBasic conceptsGrammar goalsAnswering questionsFollowing directions
…and more!
Lola Plants a Garden offers a great context to target so many goals, and there are a ton of language rich activities to help you make that happen—even if you’re targeting multiple goals with mixed groups.
Listen to this episode as Marisha walks listeners through age-appropriate activities like book walks, virtual field trips, and ideas for play-based therapy to help students engage with the material and sessions.
