I was so excited when Denise, Tera and Kristen contacted me
about reviewing their new book No-Glamour Vowels! This book can be found at
LinguiSystems. These SLPs saw a need for materials that targeted vowels and so
they put their heads together and created this awesome book! You know that whenever
a product is created out of necessity, it is going to be great and beneficial to
many therapists!
The breakdown of the book:
This book was created to teach vowel placement and production.
It is recommended for ages 4 through 12. It includes:
·
activity ideas (Yay! I feel like I am always doing the same activities with my kids. So thankful for some fresh ideas!)
·
A CD-ROM (If you are like me, this is ALWAYS
important because the school copier will be broke every time you run down there
to make a copy and therefore forcing you to print it from the printer in your
room and using all your ink… good thing ink grows on trees ;)
·
reproducible worksheets in words, phrases and
sentences for

Why did I like it?
Because just like the authors of this book I was very short on
materials to target vowels. Not to mention I am always on the look out for apraxia materials too! And the worksheets were very easy to incorporate
into therapy! I also shared it with one of my special ed teachers as she was
reviewing the long A with one of her students.
In summary, if you are looking for a new way to target vowels
this would be a great tool to use! You can purchase it from the LinguiSystems website for $43.95.
