So it’s summer! If you are like me, you start making a master to-do list sometime in the middle of May. On my summer to-do list is to launch a new blog–Make, Take, Teach 4 Speech– and to give my website a total makeover. I’m really excited about the new blog. Prior to taking on the role of a RtI Coordinator/Special Education Curriculum Consultant, I was a school-based Speech/Language Pathologist for over 15 years. I’m so excited to develop activities for SLPs. For years, my friend, Jill and I (mostly Jill) have been making games for use in therapy. Well, with this new upcoming venture, I’ve been thinking about how I started blogging just over a year ago. Prior to February of 2012, I didn’t even know what a blog was!

I love the 4-In-A-Row game for practicing sight words. The game makes for an awesome activity for your literacy centers. It can easily be differentiated as you choose which game board to use depending on the level of your students. To play the game, all that is needed is a game board and colored chips or erasers (I love using seasonal erasers to add a bit of holiday spirit). Two students play the game and each take turns reading a word and placing their marker on the word. The first player to have 4 of their colored chip or erasers in a row wins the game. Players need to be sure to block their opponent as they are trying to get their 4-In-A-Row. It’s so simple, and
I am super excited to share with you the brand new Make, Take & Teach website. It’s been my summer project and it seems like it’s taken FOR-EV-ER to get all my kits, printables, DIY projects, freebies and handouts posted and ready. It’s been a goal to have everything easily accessible and all in one place. So….. here it is! Let me give you a little tour. When you click the “Intervention Kits” link you’ll be able to view and order the Make, Take & Teach Intervention Kits designed specifically for small group instruction. There are 5 kits each of which contain 15 hands-on activities for teaching specific skills. There’s a kit for Phonemic Awareness, Alphabetic Principle, Short Vowels/CVC, Consonant
Hello and welcome to the Make, Take & Teach blog. I am so happy that you stopped by. I started Make, Take & Teach about 7 years ago with the introduction of the Teacher Intervention Kits. My goal was, and still is, to provide teachers with multi-sensory activities that align with assessments commonly administered in schools to meet the needs of all learners within their classroom. MT&T has grown over the years to provide activities in digital formats which can be purchased through the MT&T website and through Teachers Pay Teachers. I started my career as a Speech/Language Pathologist and have held several positions since that time including teaching a preschool classroom for students with severe language impairments and Autism
