Using News Articles for Kids in Speech

Hallie Sherman
About this episode

I've seen a lot of questions about using current events and age-appropriate and motivating materials lately, and there are so many free resources out there that provide news or articles that are relevant to students that are motivating, engaging, and can be used to work on a variety of speech goals! So in this episode of SLP Coffee Talk,  I'm sharing a bunch of them with you and tips on how you can use them today. 


Topics covered in this episode include:

  • Why kids news articles are great resources for working on speech goals
  • My number one go-to news resource for speech activities
  • A list of my top resources for free news articles that work in speech
  • Tips for using these sites to enhance your speech sessions


This episode is packed with tons of value and activity ideas. Make sure to tune in!
