Are you looking for an easy and durable way to store and organize speech therapy materials? You may have seen SLPs using rainbow-colored photo storage boxes. I am no exception, indulging in three sets! These vibrant boxes turned out to be a game changer for organizing my speech therapy materials.
My goal is always to maximize practice during sessions—think 100 trials or more. To achieve this, I have a collection of bulk objects and manipulatives. (You can read my blog about achieving 100 practice trials HERE ).
For instance, having 40 LEGO bricks means 40 opportunities for practice. I used to use zip-lock bags, but they are prone to holes and losing pieces. The photo storage boxes, with their sturdy design, provided a perfect solution, fitting neatly into my storage drawers and keeping everything in order.
As someone who frequently travels to schools and preschools, I always misplaced my minimal pair cards. To solve this, I attached Velcro to the front of each box, allowing me to affix cue cards directly and keep phonological patterns and teaching cues readily available inside.
These phonological cues and matching minimal pair cards are part of our Minimal Pairs Toolkit series—check them out for more great resources!
Instead of storing your articulation resources in different places, make these Speech Boxes! They’re easy to grab and go, perfect for mobile SLPs or those who travel in and out of classrooms, and keep everything together.
What we’ve put in our boxes:
Articulation Mouth Cues (we stick these on the front of the box)
Articulation Squares (a fun alternative to flashcards)
Mini Objects (we collect these)
Articulation Cards (we print a double set on card stock to play games)
