Hi friends!
Are you looking for some 🐉 dragon themed materials and resources that you can incorporate into your speech and language therapy sessions? Check out the ideas below!

BOOKS
One fun idea is to compare and contrast dragons from Asian folklore and European folklore!
You can do this using the story Amy Wu and the Patchwork Dragon (great for early elementary students) and the non-fiction article Where do Dragons live?
Or simply to read one book with a European depiction of dragons and one with an Asian depiction!
Take a look at 15+ story read alouds over in my YouTube playlist!
Non-fiction articles
Have you used Wonderopolis in your therapy sessions?
It's a wonderful website full of non-fiction articles that answer children's questions.
Each article has targeted vocabulary words, comprehension questions, and extension activity ideas. You can read more about it in this blog post.
I really like their articles for:
Learning background knowledge
Vocabulary development (Tier I, II, III words)
Comparing & contrasting
Summarizing
Main idea
Here are some dragon related articles:
How do you do the dragon dance? (great for learning about Lunar New Year)

CRAFTS
Crafts are a fun, hands on way to target a variety of skills like sequencing, sentence formulation, retell, past tense verbs (e.g. cut, glued, wrote, colored), temporal concepts (e.g. first, then, last), and spatial concepts (e.g. on, next to, under).
I hope this was helpful! Have a wonderful week! 💛
