Scholastic Teacher Express Dollar Downloads Are Back

Scholastic has a Teacher Express store where they have hundreds of teacher resource books available for purchase and immediate download in .pdf format. Several times a year they have a dollar download sale. Through Saturday (3-24-12) they have over 700 books available from $1 to $5 each. The vast majority of the books are only $1. This is a link to the dollar downloads sorted by price from lowest to highest. You can narrow the selections by grade or subject area. When you click on the book you can preview every page. The .pdf is immediately available for download and I love having the books in that format because I can easily print out whichever pages I want at the moment without having to drag a book to a photocopier.

Some of my favorites (in no particular order) are:

Little kids... Cut!
50 Learning Songs Sung To Your Favorite Tunes
Quick-and-Easy Learning Games: Phonics
Lift & Look Science Mini-Books and Manipulatives
Circle-Time Poetry: Math

Seriously, there are hundreds of these books available for $1 each right now. I lost a morning just browsing and adding things to my cart. Then, when I actually noticed that my cart total was over $70 I decided it was time to pare things down a bit. Ok, time to pare my selection down a lot.

Enjoy the sale.

Initial /sh/ Homework Booklet: Free Speech Therapy Articulation Picture Book

Card Sets

To download click on the image to open it full size. Then right click on the image, choose "save as" and save the page to your computer.

I recommend you print on cardstock for durability.

Description

This articulation homework booklet is designed to be an extension of my single-syllable card sets. The target words are all CV or CVC in syllable shape and include no blends or vocalic /r/ sounds. This booklet is designed to be read by a parent (or therapist, older sibling, classmate, teacher...) and child together. The child should be familiar with the target therapy words/pictures from working with the initial /sh/ card set. The helper reads the typewritten words pausing for the child to "read" the picture words. Each time the book is read, the helper can put a sticker/stamp/checkmark in one of the boxes on the front of the book. This will encourage multiple practice readings. The child's fluency should increase with each repeated reading. The words on the back page can be used for either auditory bombardment before reading the book together or for drill after finishing reading the book (or both). The target audience for these cards are children with severe speech delays who are ready to practice initial /sh/ sounds in a more natural context. Move to these exercises to add complexity and increase generalization after the child has achieved good accuracy with single word, single word repetitions, and simple alternating single words with the initial /sh/ picture cards.

Key Features

• This booklet features 9 initial /sh/ words incorporated into a simple story to be read by a helper and child together.
• The words are CV or CVC in syllable shape.
• The words are simple and are easily understood by or easily taught to young children.
