Let’s talk about something that scares many SLPs… progress reports. ****

Progress reports may make some SLPs sweat, but hopefully there are others (like Marisha!) who think of it as a fun opportunity to celebrate student progress. After all, the point of working smarter is to have more time for the fun stuff, right?!

Marisha actually thinks it’s kind of cool to look back at the data and realize how far her students have come. Getting to write up all the progress goodness and share it with the students’ parents is just the sprinkles on the progress cake.

At the same time, Marisha knows that the process can be a little bit overwhelming. That's why she wanted to share her three step process for writing progress reports and notes on this week’s episode of the podcast.

From collecting session data to setting up your progress note template and reviewing goal progress — at the end of this episode, you’ll be just a few clicks away from a stress-free progress reporting experience!

This month we're diving into all things narratives, a topic that's so closely connected with academic achievement. But before we get there, I am excited to introduce the newest addition to the SLP Now team, Monica! Monica is a lead SLP for a school district in Southern California and comes with a broad range of experience, including literacy-based therapy and functional social and language therapy.

Wow, I cannot believe we're wrapping up this month of curriculum-based therapy content! There is so much to dive into. This week, we are working with secondary students and the sample goals for this group include identifying facts vs. opinions, identifying the main idea and key details, summarizing, producing sentences with 3 or more clauses, and determining the meaning of words using affixes.

I hypothetically have a group of 6th graders who are working on answering questions, defining multiple meaning words, and summarizing text. So in this episode, we're continuing to follow the curriculum-based therapy theme using a literacy-based therapy framework. Let's dive in!

Let's continue on the curriculum-based therapy train with early elementary. Some of the goals I'm targeting with this group include answering questions, identifying key details, defining tier two vocabulary words, and producing compound or complex sentences.

I cannot tell you how much I've been looking forward to this month's content. We're diving into all things curriculum-based therapy for preschoolers. This is a great way to step up all of the literacy-based therapy strategies that we've been talking about and embed them into the classroom.

Now we get to dive into something different for our older students. Teaching them how to identify the main idea, key details, and how to summarize are incredibly important skills for them to learn as they move forward in life.

Let's dive into some therapy plans for later elementary students. We will focus on how to target narratives using a literacy-based therapy framework. We'll explore goals around answering questions about story grammar elements, retelling a story, and generating narratives.
