BRING YOUR FALL SPEECH THERAPY THEME HOME WITH THIS FREE PARENT HANDOUT!
Want an easy way to show families what you are working on in speech without sending home another packet of "homework"? This FREE The Leaf Thief speech therapy parent handout gives families simple, realistic ways to continue practicing communication skills at home while your students are working through an autumn and The Leaf Thief theme in speech therapy.
The one-page handout includes home practice ideas for:
Articulation/Speech Sounds with fall word hunts, repeated practice, phrases, and sentences
Receptive + Expressive Language with WH questions, story retell, sequencing, and describing
Fluency/Stuttering with conversation opportunities and supportive communication reminders
Pragmatics/Social Skills with emotions, perspective taking, related comments, and follow-up questions
A parent reminder to keep practice short, natural, and conversational
The goal is to help families reinforce what students are already practicing in speech without making home practice feel overwhelming. A few minutes during a car ride, walk, story time, or conversation can create another opportunity for communication practice.
USING THE LEAF THIEF IN YOUR SPEECH ROOM?
This freebie also coordinates with my complete collection of The Leaf Thief speech therapy resources. Each companion is available separately, or you can grab them together in the complete bundle.

Use the story across multiple speech therapy goals with supports for articulation, phonological processes, expressive and receptive language, narrative language, fluency, pragmatic language, AAC, vocabulary, story grammar, inferencing, sequencing, WH questions, and more.

Create a leaf-tail squirrel while targeting speech and language. This resource includes printable craft templates, speech sound word lists, language prompts, visual directions, and communication supports.
The Leaf Thief Coloring Pages
