One of the key benefits of using short stories is that they require little to no preparation. Therapists can easily incorporate them into their sessions without spending excessive time planning or creating materials. This allows you to focus more on the individual needs of your clients and tailor the activities accordingly.
Short stories provide a context for practicing articulation skills in a meaningful way. By incorporating target sounds within the narrative, therapists can help their clients apply these skills in real-life scenarios. This not only enhances their articulation abilities but also improves overall communication and language skills.

Using short stories encourages active participation from clients, as they become immersed in the narrative and are motivated to engage with the content. It creates an opportunity for therapists to introduce various speech exercises, such as repetition, sentence formation, or even role-playing based on story events.
I love utilizing short stories as a tool in speech therapy sessions because they offer numerous benefits for both myself and my clients. From its no-prep nature to its ability to make learning enjoyable, this approach proves valuable in targeting articulation goals effectively while fostering language development and communication skills.
