I received some questions about my Spanish materials on Teachers Pay Teachers so I thought I would share a little about them. I learned Spanish as a second language when I was a teenager and have continued to learn ever since! I currently Skype once a week with a teacher in Mexico to keep up my conversational skills and I have also used the program Pimsluer. When I create a resource in Spanish I send it to 3-4 native Spanish speakers on my team to check for errors or dialectical issues. There are so many dialects in the Spanish language, so I primarily use the one that is in my region (Texas). I have received amazing feedback and it has encouraged me to continue translating my products so that more students can have access to them. I currently have articulation crafts, toy companions, favorites boards, category cards, and an interactive book available! I will be adding more soon!

Game Companions
Bloques BUNDLE! Articulación y Lenguaje: Speech Therapy UN-stacking Game Companion Spanish Articulation Words and Language Targets I love playing stacking blocks in therapy but my students often got frustrated with how easy it is to knock over (and some of my students would knock it over or bump the table on purpose). I wanted to figure out a way to play this game without as much frustration! This is how my Blocks/Bloques products were born! Spanish Phonemes included: ★Initial/medial: p, b, m, j(h), d, t, k, g, f, ch, ll, rr ★Initial/medial/final: n, s, l ★medial/final: r ★Initial/medial: rblends ★Initial lblends ★medial: ñ ★blank pages (this comes with a printing guide, to find the phonemes you need quickly!) • Don't see a sound you need? I included a blank page to use with any speech/language target. This activity covers the following language objectives using functional vocabulary in Spanish. • Categories (name the category, name items in a category, which one doesn’t belong) • Compare/Contrast (with 2 options: same/different on separate tiles or same/different on the the same tile). • Wh-Questions (who, what, when, where, why, how, and mixed) • Antonyms • Synonyms • Defining (with visual cues: what category, what does it do, what does is look like, what is is made of, what do you do with it). • Describing (with five senses visual cues) • Present Progressive Verbs • Past Tense Verbs • Plurals • Multiple Meaning Words • Blank Templates (Name the Category, Wh Questions, Defining, Describing, & a generic blank template). • Fillable (type-able) blank page → Game Play: Start off by telling your students this isn’t the regular stacking block game (where you take blocks off and stack them back on top). Tell them this is an UN-stacking game! Each player will carefully remove a block out of the tower (they are not allowed to take one of the top blocks until the tower is down to 2 layers or no other blocks can be removed without it tumbling down). Then they get to choose a block on their mat to put it on. The student will produce target phoneme and then place the block over it. Practice 7X per block to get over 100 productions per mat!

I include a blank page to use with any speech/language target.
Mis Favoritos (My Favorites) Speech Therapy Activity How I use this product: This is one of my favorite activities to do in inclusion lessons and at the beginning of the year as a “get to know you” activity. The students really love getting to tell each other their favorite things. The visuals are great reinforcers. I have the students who need it point to the “Me Gusta” symbol and then to their chosen picture while verbalizing. If they are non-verbal they can simply point to communicate their favorite. Great for increading MLU too!
