Summer Speech Books

It is just me or was this winter loooong? Here in Ohio, we had 8 cold/snow days (3 of which we made up over spring break). Ugh! I think it’s safe to say that I’ve ready to get out end-of-year Summer Packets since…well, JANUARY.

My students continue to ask every year for these books. They’re fun, they’re easy AND they provide a ton of Common Core practice so I know they’re learning even over the summer months.

This packet contains 4 complete summer books with daily questions for 8 weeks of learning. And…because I know we all like to know what we are doing counts, they are all aligned to the Common Core State Standards. This is great because they let parents know why we want our students working on these skills.

With this huge packet, you receive everything you need to send your students off with the skills they need, including:

*3 Coloring Covers (pages 3-5)
*1 Parent Letter (pages 6)
*8 week Language Packet for grades K-1 (pages 7-14)
*8 week Language Packet for grades 2-3 (pages 15-22)
*8 week Language Packet for grades 4-5 (pages 23-30)
*8 week Articulation Packet (pages 31-38)

During the last week of school, we get busy assembling our summer books.

I start off by printing all the packets I would need and arranging them on my counter. This took me around 30 minutes print and arrange. Not bad! I also had some fun with them and bought little tubes of bubbles ($0.25 at Walmart) to attach to each packet.

The kids choose their cover page, two pieces of construction paper and are allowed to color. I say this because this is the one time during the year, I let my students color in speech (and they still have to multi-task by working on sounds or goals). I’m tough stuff, you know!

After their beautified covers are finished, we attach them together with staples, create a hole and thread some ribbon through to attach our bubbles.

Enjoy! I know your kids will!

Come as you are. Leave encouraged.

I'd love for you to join my newsletter family so that I can start sending weekly encouragement as well as access to an entire library of free resources like this Student Self-Progress Report Sheet!

  Hi Mary!
  Thank you so much! I currently do have anything like that but will tuck that idea away for a future product perhaps… 🙂
