Website Recommendation!

Hello everyone! Thanks for visiting! I'm excited to share this site with you. Even most of my own colleagues have never heard of it. By the way I haven't properly introduced myself, my name is Bryanna. I am a speech therapist assistant (hence the name). I work in a clinical setting and I have some experience working and volunteering in a school setting. But that's enough about me... I will properly introduce myself in my next blog. First things first...Have you heard of www.edhelper.com? Check it out now! Wait! Let me give you the basics first.You can subscribe to the site for 19.99 (reasonable price) for the edhelper basic subscription and 39.98 (still pretty good) for edhelper everything subscription.  You can also order a school license for up to five teachers  but you will have to contact them for a price.  The site contains materials for grade levels K-12. Utilized correctly this site is wonderful and has endless amount of materials for speech therapists, occupational therapists, teachers, and parents.

So I cannot take full credit for finding this site. My Mom the fabulous teacher/role model/ all knowing woman introduced me and gifted me with a subscription. Basically it’s a great site for when you’re stumped and feel like you have run out of fun out ideas for the month.  Have no fear edhelper knows the secret holidays and has a handout for the right grade level. I tend to use it for my patients who are 8 and up. I like to look up vocabulary words and reading passages for comprehension. I also use the reading passage for stuttering to promote easy speech.But I have stumbled on some great stuff for my younger patients. I found this free page for colors, matching, learning patterns, and counting.  http://www.edhelper.com/math  One thing is… it can be confusing at first. There are so many materials all in one page. Even when you click on a specific link you will notice more options will appear.  Other than that I hope you look it up and check it out! edhelper.com.  Let me know what you think in the comments bellow. If you find a great free handout you should also share it bellow! Talk to you soon!
