Great content for literacy based therapy

I love Ashley Rossi’s resources on TpT so I was excited that she extended her knowledge to podcasts! All episodes are informative but short enough that it wouldn’t be overwhelming. Lots of great ideas for therapy and choosing the right books to get the most out of your sessions.

Thanksgiving this or that

I look forward to your podcast every Tuesday! Thank you for the review of both turkey trouble and 10 turkeys in the road. I love teaching with turkey trouble, but I never thought about pre-teaching the vocabulary to support the curriculum in the classroom. Thank you for that great idea. I can’t wait to hear your next episode.

Great info

I love the information that you’re sharing! And that they are less than 30 minutes long! Many times I don’t have an hour to listen so I’d rather have shorter episodes to listen to.

Love learning from this!

It has been so fun learning as an SLP through this podcast! I love how they deep dive into books and spur so many great ideas on how to use them in therapy! Something I didn’t learn in school but love growing in!

Grow and Learn

I am so excited to grow my literacy-based therapy knowledge with you. It’s been a passion of mine for a few years but I am always looking for rich picture books and ways to incorporate story grammar into all of my therapy lessons!

I’m so happy they made a podcast!

I use a lot of the resources from literacy based speech therapy on TPT but I feel like I could get more out of the literacy based intervention approach. I’m so excited to learn from Ashley and Kaylin

A must listen for school-based SLP’s!

Not only is it phenomenal that these two clinicians are family, but you can tell their heart is in this for all the right reasons! As a seasoned clinician who uses literacy in many of my language sessions, it is phenomenal to hear about the breakdown, and most importantly the research, behind literacy use in Speech. thank you ladies for helping the field one episode at a time! - @SchoolAgeSays
