Hello there!
Well, I am so excited to finally share this with you! Prepare to make your life a little easier :-). I received so much lovely feedback from you on my No-Print Grammar Jeopardy, that it got me thinking… Being a busy speech therapist myself, I understand our time is valuable. I love every single one of the TPT purchases I have made but my pile of laminating has become out of control! All of those beautiful little cards just stare at me from a pile of unfinished work. They long to join in the fun and actually be used for therapy but I have set them aside for a time when they can finally be beautified (aka laminated).
I started thinking…I need to make more no-fuss materials! Enter : No Print Receptive and Expressive Language Packs. These huge language packs can be used immediately upon purchasing. The best part? You can use them on your iPad!
How do you use these packs? Simply download and save to your computer. If you want, email it to your iPad or save in a cloud program such as Dropbox. Open it and begin right away!
Let’s start with the No Print Expressive Language Pack. In this whopping 229 page download, you receive:
*25 Antonym cards
*25 Synonym cards
*25 Multiple Meaning cards
*25 Asking Questions cards
*25 Giving Directions cards
*25 Sequencing cards
*25 Explaining cards
*25 Describing cards
*25 Compare and Contrast cards
*25 Describing cards
*25 Compare and Contrast cards
Simply open the download and you will see this “Home” screen. Click on the deck you want to work on.
On each card, you will see a “Next” button (to go on to the next card) and a “Home” button to go back to the main screen. The last card in each deck does not contain a “Next” button. I was wishing there was a way to mix the cards up but after I started using them with my students, I realized that it makes it much easier with the cards in the same order!
Watch out-There are a few “Bummer” cards throughout!! I keep a post-it note next to me to keep score or have the students keep track of their own points.
This pack contains 157 pages (smaller in page number but this pack contains a ton of info-main idea cards took quite some time to create!) In it, you receive:
*27 WH Question cards
*25 Inferencing cards
*25 Main Idea cards
*25 Following Directions cards
*26 Naming cards
*25 Predicting cards
How much is your time worth? I so want to make your life a little easier! You can find both of these products in my TPT store and Teacher’s Notebook store.

March 4, 2013 at 11:28 pmLOVE IT!!!! This is awesome!!!! (We have been teaching our 1st graders about not using more than one punctuation mark when writing, but I’m so excited I have to use more on this post!)
My kids love using the iPad and I hate cutting lamination, so this is a win win for everyone!

March 5, 2013 at 2:12 amI have had so much fun with the Grammar Jeopardy pack, I added these to my wish-list straight-away!! Right up my alley! (Please don’t include me in this giveaway (LOVE!) as I won the last – thanks so much!!!)

March 5, 2013 at 2:17 amI know exactly what you mean! I just laminated 20 or so pages but dread having to cut them out! This looks great.
Lindsay D says
March 5, 2013 at 2:21 amThese packets are such a great idea! I checked them out on TPT and I’m very impressed! I would love to win them 🙂
Carly says
March 5, 2013 at 2:22 amOh my gosh! How wonderful! I cannot tell you how many items I haven’t even printed let alone laminated. I love every single card and want to use them but time is in my way. These seem like a great idea!
Susan White says
March 5, 2013 at 2:23 amThis would be so great on my iPad! You are very clear about how it will work and I like that! I am putting both packs on my wishlist.
ShannanW says
March 5, 2013 at 2:24 amWow! I am sooo excited about this! What a timely creation! No more color printing at work and laminating is limited too. This could be the solution I need to still address goal areas while keeping things fun and fresh for my students. I hope to win and try this out with my caseload – so many of my students’ goals could be addressed using either pack! Thank you!

Isabel Martinez says
March 5, 2013 at 3:27 amI really like this idea. The laminating has gotten a bit out of control for me too. I’m trying to build my professional library as a second year grad student because I know my CFY is going to be nuts…but I have school work to do. Too much to do, not enough time. This would be a super bonus to add to my repertoire. 🙂
Tamara says
March 5, 2013 at 3:54 amPick me! I love your products and these new ones too!! I have downloaded several TPT products on iBooks. I enjoy how accessible they are to use in therapy and my students love love love using technology!!

March 5, 2013 at 4:01 amI’ve been wishing for something like this. It is hard to get things prepared and to decide which skills should be next to prepare… Who needs something yo address there needs theist. Love the ‘bummer’ cards, adds a little edge and excitement for the kids. Most of all , I love the organization of selecting a ‘deck’
Kathy says
March 5, 2013 at 6:44 amOh my goodness! What a wonderful idea – I, too have a stack of laminated materials that I hope to get to before St. Patrick’s Day – I have so many saved pdf files that I forget what I have. This is the answer – love it! Added it to my wish list before posting.
Lauren says
March 5, 2013 at 1:27 pmThis is such a great idea! I would love to use these with my students! Lauren.budziak@gmail.com
Carol says
March 5, 2013 at 3:00 pmI can only echo what everyone else is saying about this…what a great idea! I’d love to have either of these!
Allison Jones says
March 5, 2013 at 3:02 pmThis is a dream come true! I travel between 4 schools and end up carrying around a huge bag of laminated games. And the amount of time I spend laminating is out of control! Thanks so much for making this!
Shanie Mo says
March 5, 2013 at 5:24 pmHow wonderful for those of us that are still having to carry “tons” of materials around because we serve students in more than one school or setting. I have my fingers crossed on both hands in hopes of winning!
Cindy and Kristina says
March 5, 2013 at 5:55 pmWhat a great idea! Ink and laminating paper are tight around here so htis is perfect! Would love to know how you did this! Very cute!
Jillian says
March 5, 2013 at 10:29 pmThis looks amazing! This is something that I can for sure see myself using regularly. I’m always looking for materials that lighten my bag and my time (cutting and laminating…). This does both!! Thanks for your hard work and great ideas!
mary says
March 6, 2013 at 12:02 amI have been dreaming of something like this! I agree with others, I love my TPT materials but my cutting, printing, and laminating time is out of control! Would love to see more of these! Let’s start a paperless SLP revolution!
clnslp says
March 6, 2013 at 3:19 amWOW! This looks absolutely amazing – your creativity is top notch. Would love to give this a try. I am so behind on printing/cutting/laminating these days, this would be great. THANKS for sharing your talents! c_bisgard@yahoo.com
aravnhan says
March 6, 2013 at 6:05 pmNicole — this looks AMAZING! What a fabulous idea! I would love to be able to use this on a whims notice as I too have a HUGE pile of materials to be laminated! Thanks for sharing your awesome materials and ideas!
Beth B. says
March 6, 2013 at 8:30 pmLooks awesome! Such a great idea to eliminate all the printing/laminating and get more use of the iPad.
corinneb says
March 10, 2013 at 2:15 pmThis is a great idea! Our pile of things to be laminated is also overwhelming in our school! Would love to use this packet with my language kiddos!
Summer says
June 10, 2016 at 3:40 amI’m excited to try this for my son! Thank you!
