Finding resources to assist in speech therapy and in the classroom

The internet has allowed us as clinicians to have research-based resources at our fingertips but sometimes finding these resources can take a treasure map.

Here are some great resources:

Reading Comprehension:

Readworks

The nonprofit ReadWorks provides K-12 teachers with what to teach and how to teach it—online, for free, to be shared broadly.

We provide the largest, highest-quality library of curated nonfiction and literary articles in the country, along with reading comprehension and vocabulary lessons, formative assessments, and teacher guidance. Most importantly, everything ReadWorks does is based on proven cognitive science research, not unproven academic theory.

This is a great site that has many resources including grade-level paragraphs.
