Take the TPT Plunge Linky!

 

 

I still remember when the beautiful world TeachersPayTeachers first opened up to me. The first thing I saw? That fabulous little button on the side that said “sort by price.” Only free items?  Check. There were hundreds of these free items that seemed to shout to me “Download me!”

I soooo could have used this when I was in graduate school! All the creating, designing, cutting and painstakingly laminating with individual sheets of contact paper was enough to make any sane person pull their hair out.

 

However, as I become more and more comfortable navigating the waters of TPT, I’ve realized how valuable the paid products are. And when I say “paid,” 90% of the time I’m talking about under $5.

 

Today I’m joining TheDabblingSpeechie’s linky party and sharing some of my staple materials.

Here are two of my favorite products I’ve purchased from TPT to date:

 

1.

Selling for only $4.50, these come in handy during language sessions, social groups or in classrooms. They include both problem-solving and perspective-taking questions and include sets for elementary and higher level students. They are quite a deal when I consider how much use I’ve received out of them! Grab them up HERE! 

 

 

2.

 

These $6 Articulation Menus definitely come in handy when I want to “spice up” some of my articulation therapy. The kids looove pretending they are ordering at a restaurant with each other and it gets some great practice in at the conversation level!

 

 

One of my products that I literally use every day-yes, every day- are my Common Core Cans.

 

 

 

My students know without a doubt that they must answer a question at the end of speech in order to receive their sticker. They don’t even ask-they just get up and grab a question. Some of my students even beg me to let them pick from the can that is a grade higher than the one they are in. My response? Go for it!

 

This sells for $8 and based on it’s daily use, I’d say it is worth every penny!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks so much for letting me share some of my favorite TPT purchases! If you’ve only been utilizing TPT for freebies, it might be time to “Take the Plunge!” Hop on over to TheDabblingSpeechie to check out more favs!
