How is it the end of the year already?! Anyone else’s mind blown?

Since we are gearing up for 2018, we took a look at SLP Now’s most popular posts from 2017.

Let the countdown begin!

Be sure to read until the end for a special giveaway!

#5 – 7 Tools to Organize Speech Therapy Materials

This was one of my first posts, and I dive some of my favorite tools to organize some of those odds and ends. Perfect for SLPs who might have a few too many materials! 🙂

#4 – Organizing Speech Therapy Materials On the Go

This post reviews my very favorite way to organize my materials. I’ve traveled/moved quite a bit over the past few years, and this tote has become my “go to.” I know that I can use this rolling tote no matter where I end up (and I know I won’t break my neck getting materials from classroom to classroom–or from building to building–in the process!).

Here’s a sneak peek:

(Hint: Scroll to the bottom of this for a chance to win one of these guys!)

#3 – Planning Essentials: Speech Therapy Cart

Well, that’s 3 for 3! I do love some good organization posts!

I wrote this post after I started using a therapy cart to organize my most-used therapy materials. I parked this guy right next to my therapy table and used it to organize writing utensils, books, student folders, and more!

#2 – Speech Therapy Data Collection Solutions

Ah, data! Everyone’s favorite, right?

This was written a few years ago, but it was still really popular this year!

The post includes a massive review of different data collection options. This is the post for you if you’re struggling with data collection but aren’t sure what to change. I walk through everything from traditional paper data to digital data. Lots of free resources are included in this post, too!

#1 – Themed Book Lists

The most visited post of the year… The SLP Now Themed Book Lists!

If you’re looking to get started with literacy-based therapy, this is a great starting point! It includes lists of my favorite books (organized by theme/season).


Because this is our 100th post, we are having a GIVEAWAY…!

Enter below for a chance to win! We’d love it if you followed on Facebook and Instagram. 😀

    I use the seasonal holiday book list probably monthly! It’s a great way for me to organize for the month. I have been more diligent about checking it a few weeks ahead of when I actually need it so I have enough time to get it from my library. I love finding new books on your list that I have never read!

    I’m a fan of the multi-posts of Speech Bubble (S.M.A.R.T. Goals, especially), Nicole Allison’s (Teaching Compound Sentences), and Speech Sprouts. They share detailed, step-by-step visuals and instructions for implementation and are like mini C.E.U.s. I get the most out of Marisha’s videos on FB, and I too found the Data Collection post useful, along with most every other post!

    It’s so awesome that there are people willing to share their resources and tricks of the trade. When I went into this field, I didn’t know I would have to create or customize materials. I’m not crafty and don’t enjoy making stuff so I’m very thankful for those of you out there who are making new things and sharing them.
