ESY is pretty cool---it's like a big speech therapy camp! There's no IEP meetings, no assessments, no RtI meetings, only adorable kids in small classrooms. Typically I have a graduate intern working with me, and we have fun with speech groups, and working with individual students. We all have a good time!
I thought I would get an early start here, and make some ocean themed materials, since the OT and I typically have a theme going. The ocean/beach fits into water days and the hot season. Here is my first book---not very imaginative since it's similar to several other books I've done. My kids, however, enjoy repetition and predictability. Having a similar structure to the various books is good---the kids learn the language for one, and then the book is changed slightly. They can then learn new language, while practicing what they had learned previously. It works for me! I hope it does for you too! It's 14 pages plus icons.
FYI: The title page of the book is the 13th page of the pdf and Boardmaker file. The last page of the book is the beach page. Icons and sentence strip are at the end. You cut out the icons, leave the sentence strip intact, and have the kids fill in the sentence with the correct noun. They can then read the page to you.
