1. Dice Poppers - When the die falls on the floor for the 7th time that session, it makes me close my eyes and take some deep breaths. Not only because it's a pet peeve of mine, but because we are missing valuable time for practice! Solve that problem with these resilient dice poppers.
2. Ten Frame Poppers - Want to get 10 trials for each word or phrase? This keeps kids on track! Plus, I pull out these little guys when I see a student needing a fidget.
3. Abacus - Hear me out...I know this looks like an old school toy but it is GREAT for working on many sounds. I use this tool for my kids working on producing final consonants (put a sound cue card or letter at the end!). Or for those kids working on decreasing stopping - add an /s/ or "SH" to the beginning and practice sliding the sound to the end!
4. HUNDRED Popper - AND FINALLY...my FAVORITE tool of all - this rainbow hundred popper! It's so easy for kids to get 10 trials in at a time "say your sound/word/phrase for the red row". And they all know that 100 is our goal every time!
Have fun getting as many trials as possible in your artic groups! And I promise your students will LOVE these hands-on tools!
