WRONG ANSWERS ONLY! is a super fun speech therapy game created to elicit a high number of trials while practicing speech sounds. Your students will love this game and keep asking for more!

This articulation resource was created in order to help Speech Language Pathologists target initial "sh", final "sh", and medial "sh" at the word, sentence, and conversational level. This is a great resource to encourage generalization and carryover of sounds in speech for the phonological process of stopping and for frontal lisps and lateral lisps. We know that "sh" can be a very difficult sound, so let's make it fun to practice. Research shows that children learn much quicker while engaged in play. This is the perfect game to help our students produce their sounds more quickly.

This is a great resource to use when children are stuck at the word level of a sound. Students will be very motivated to produce their sounds in these silly sentences.

Included in this resource:

• 12 initial sh task card question prompts with the following words: shelf, shorts, shell, shoes, shamrock, ship, sharpener, shark, shade, shovel, shapes, sheep
• 12 medial sh task card question prompts with the following words: rocket ship, eye lashes, sunshine, mushroom, tissue, smoothie, washer, horseshoe, bookshelf, marshmallow, potion, fishbowl, flashlight, dishes
• 12 final sh task card question prompts with the following words: cash, goldfish, paintbrush, raddish, leash, mustache, starfish, trash, nail polish, jelly fish, bush
• 3 Title cards (either WRONG ANSWERS ONLY! or Silly Sentences)
• 3 word list cards

This resource can help target the following:

• Phonological Processes: stopping, fronting
• Sound production for children with Dysarthria or weak articulatory musculature
• Myofunctional disorders including tongue thrust
• Articulation disorders to target initial sh, final sh, medial sh

Used in Mixed Groups!

Vocabulary: State meaning of words, along with synonyms and antonyms.

Wh- questions: Ask who, what, where, when, why questions about each word.

Sentence production: Elicit full sentences containing each elicited word.

Complex Sentences: Use "because" to state the reason why an answer is wrong

Do your students need highly engaging morning meeting digital resources or a picture of the day to start off their morning? Morning Meeting Picture Slides are important to utilize to develop strong relationships with students and peer-to-peer relationships.  The picture of the day allows for deeper conversations and the building of a strong classroom community, which in turn raises academic achievement skills. The digital resource has many diverse pictures where everyone can feel represented.

How I Use Picture of The Day

We use a picture of the day every morning during our morning meeting routine. The morning meeting slides are projected on our screen for all students to see. Students are asked to infer, visualize, synthesize, and create connections with the picture. Looking closely at a picture is an important reading skill for students to develop to create inferences about what they are reading. 

Additionally, The picture of the day can be used for writing prompts or centers. Students can look at the picture and write a story based on the picture. 

This is also an excellent resource to use with your remote learners. You could assign one or more morning meeting slides to their learning management system for morning meetings and writing or reading activities. 

“Morning Meeting is an engaging way to start each day, build a strong sense of community, and set children up for success socially and academically.” -Responsive Classroom

“Morning meetings are an excellent way to help students transition from home to school and help them get ready to learn. In addition, these meetings can help you connect with your students, help students build relationships with each other, and promote an overall sense of community in the classroom.” -Centervention

The topics and what is included:

• 180 pages of editable Google Slides. 
• Diverse, beautiful pictures.
• Pictures were either taken by me or were purchased stock photos.
