      <image:title>Blog - For SLPs - Literacy Approach Deck Template - I began utilizing non-fiction books/articles aligned with classroom subjects. Maintaining content supports carryover of strategies from speech to the classroom. As I grew more confident with this method, I realized I could build in a month’s worth of sessions for a majority of my students using one slide deck, one book, and one planning session.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Using my unit template can support you in creating your own literacy deck for students. Not only will it make you more confident and streamlined in your therapy, but it will off load a lot of the mental weight of ‘what I am going to do today’ as sessions come along. If you’re looking for book ideas for students, I have some ideas listed here.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 5 Picture Books for 3rd - 5th graders - A story about a student learning how to apologize for his actions in class. This is a great book to use with elementary students working towards social communication goals including taking on the perspectives of others and communicating their feelings across academic settings.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 5 Picture Books for 3rd - 5th graders - This book follows all the steps needed to get chocolate, all the way from monkeys dropping cocoa beans. An ideal book for students targeting sequencing and can align with science classes discussing ecosystems. If you’re able, ask science teachers for their key vocabulary lists and tie them into your activities!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 5 Picture Books for 3rd - 5th graders - If you have students interested in basketball, this book outlines the origin of the sport. My 5th grade kids loved this one and it can serve as a great introduction into nonfiction books centered around their interests. You could also consider using this book in March, linking it to March Madness.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 5 Picture Books for 3rd - 5th graders - I normally use this book around the holidays as it covers more mature topics of loss and gratitude as we see a small family recover after a fire destroys their apartment. They are supported by their community and work together to get the one thing they are missing - a beautiful and comfortable chair.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 5 Picture Books for 3rd - 5th graders - I love this book. Based on the true story of William Kamkwamba, a Malawian teenage, students learn about how he was determined to bring electricity to his village. Discussing a resourceful, talented, and determined young man is inspiring; I want my students to know that overcoming adversity and achieving goals that other scoff at is possible. In the past I have used this as a Black History Month book, or paired with science lessons targeting scientific method.</image:title>
