Looking for the best songs for speech therapy that do more than just get kids moving? Try pairing songs with books!

Using a song for speech therapy that’s directly tied to a story not only boosts engagement—it also reinforces classroom literacy goals and supports reading comprehension, vocabulary, and expressive language development.

In this post, we’re not just singing for music’s sake. We’re sharing a curated list of songs that are intentionally linked to children’s books, giving you a powerful way to align your therapy sessions with classroom objectives.

Understanding trauma allows SLPs to create safer, more supportive environments, tailor therapy approaches to individual needs, and build stronger, trust-based relationships that foster meaningful progress in therapy.

We sat down with Dr. Kimberly Crespo from Boston University prior to her talk on Trauma-Informed Speech-Language Assessment Practices for Bilingual Children.

Check out the highlights in these three short videos:

Few things light up a child’s face like a story with rhymes. Rhyming stories are catchy, fun, and easy to remember—making them a powerful tool for building phonological awareness, vocabulary, and early literacy skills.

Whether you're working with preschoolers or school-aged children, a good rhyme story can turn language learning into an engaging, musical experience.

In this post, we’ll explore why story rhymes are so effective in speech therapy and education. You’ll discover how rhyming supports sound awareness and language structure, find examples of great rhyming books to use in your sessions, and get tips for using rhythm and rhyme to boost learning outcomes.

There’s a reason kids love shouting out the same line in a favorite story—it’s the power of repetition of a phrase. Stories that use repetition of words or phrases are more than just fun and engaging; they provide valuable opportunities to build language, memory, and participation skills in speech therapy sessions.

In this post, we’ll explore how repeated phrases support language development, especially for children with speech and language delays. You’ll find examples of books that use repetition of a word or phrase, tips for choosing the right ones, and creative ways to use them in therapy.

If you're looking to boost expressive language, sentence structure, or confidence in young communicators, repeated phrases can be your secret weapon.

Wh questions—like who, what, where, when, and why—are the backbone of conversation and comprehension. For students with language delays or disorders, learning to understand and answer wh questions can be a major milestone.

That’s why targeting wh questions in speech therapy is so important for building communication skills that carry over into the classroom and everyday life.

In this post, we’ll break down each type of wh question, show you why some are harder than others, and give you strategies for teaching them in meaningful, effective ways.

There is NOW an easy and accurate way to calculate chronological age.

I say now, because up until recently, you had to do it by hand or click through to a test creators site, accept their tracking cookies, and then read through their instructions on how to modify a world calendar calculator to get to the results because they no longer have their own calculator.

Easy enough, but a bit nerve racking because if you get the dates wrong, you can mis qualify a child.

We created a calculator to just give you what you need:
No modifications.
No advertisements.
Just the chronological age in years, months, and days, whatever we need.

If you are like us, dyslexia wasn't covered too well (or at all!) during your grad school program and resources to help us learn on our own have been scarce.

This has become a pretty big issue as more research comes out on the overlap between dyslexia and phonological issues and language. What this means for SLPs is that we NEED this knowledge to be able to best support our students who have dyslexia. Secondly, we NEED the knowledge to head of referrals that should be for dyslexia but might be confused with a communication disorder.

We have great news. A group of experts in California created free, online modules that cover the most important aspects of dyslexia for educators. We invited SLP Dr. Kai Greene from the University of California, Dominguez Hills to tell us about the modules, how he as an SLP influenced the content, and how to best apply the content to our caseload.
