Accountable Talk® for Everyone---Shout out to Chapel Hill Schools SLP blog with free printable

My former SLP colleagues at the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools put out a blog post from time to time.  They're busy, so their postings have been a little sporadic lately--I know how that goes.  Initial enthusiasm tapers off, and pretty soon, a blog post seems to be a monthly, then quarterly event.

Their latest post, Accountable Talk® for Everyone, is a particulary good one.  Buddy talk, Accountable Talk, small group discussions, partner work---these are all extremely challenging for language impaired children.  The child may know answers, but to explain thought processes, or to think about ideas from others' perpectives and provide verbal supports for your own opinions is difficult.  The author of this blog post, Sarah Smith, M.S,, CCC-SLP, has provided the readers with free visuals to aid a child duing Accountable Talk times in the classroom.  These are leveled flip books--one for beginners, and one for more advanced learners.
