If you’ve stopped by Speech Sprouts before, you know I think literature-based therapy is terrific. The cat’s meow. Awesome. Outstanding. The bee’s knees. Fabulous. (Maybe I like synonyms and idioms a little bit too?)

Find some new favorite story books for speech therapy in this list

There are a few books here that are new to me too. I can’t wait to head to the library to check out these adorable children’s books.

Of course I’ll share one of my favorites too. I hope you find several perfect for your own speech therapy literacy-based sessions. So here goes:

1. The Pout-Pout Fish Goes To School by Deborah Diesen

Ashley from Sweet Southern Speech shares how she uses the Pout Pout Fish in speech therapy. She writes, “ The Pout-Pout Fish series of books offer an excellent opportunity to use imagery for vocabulary building. Just look at his face on the cover!”

6. Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell

Colette from The Speech Meadow shares this favorite in her blog post on Bringing Children’s Lit Into Speech . She says Dear Zoo is not only great for teaching the names of different zoo animals, but it also uses describing words such as jumpy, fierce, grumpy and naughty which might be new to the children. Children love to act out the different descriptions!

7.  The Apple Pie Tree  by Zoee Hall

I hope you’ve discovered a couple new story book titles for your speech therapy room., now, where’s my library card  i’m going to need it.
