Customer Reviews
"The Language Theatre books coordinate perfectly with the Articulation Theatre Books and are an SLPs dream for mixed groups! I am so excited to use these with my students!" – A.A.
"These books are really creative and are the best way I have ever seen that allows a clinician to target different goals in one group session while keeping the entire group engaged. Also, while meant to address goals related to speech sound disorders, the books greatly benefit all students with overall language skills." – L.F.
"I like that the books can be used alone or in mixed groups. My students love the stories. It keeps them engaged in therapy." – K.M.
"I like that these books provide a new and different way to target articulation carryover that older students enjoy. My students like that each passage or 'scene' is short but fun to read. Their target sounds are highlighted so they can see them and remember what to focus on. It gives them to chance to read something and also practice their prosody to match the situation or scene." – N.W.
"The books completely engage my articulation students. I can easily target more than one sound at a time in small group sessions. My older students love that the stories are not childish." – K.M.
"Articulation Theatre Books are a fun way for students to practice target speech sounds." – B.S.
"My students made measurable progress due to their increased motivation to practice scenes. Their frustration decreased and liveliness increased as they acted out these entertaining plays.

"My students became jovial and eager to engage in the lesson. This atmosphere was helpful in therapy to encourage them to self-monitor. They continue to maintain the progress made, which is a testament to the increased motivation they experienced when using this thoughtfully organized, fun and motivating program." – P.A., SLP
"Thank you for bringing new life to my speech sessions - especially for my older students and those nearing dismissal who are at the sentence and reading levels!" – J.B., SLP
"These books are amazing! So fun!" – J.C., SLP
"I use the Articulation Theatre books all the time!" – L.J., SLP
"I love these! I use the Artic Theatre books to make inferences. I cover the passage and have them read the words and make a smart guess to figure out what they think the passage would be about. And use for artic - more like a warm-up. I think you need to have discussions after reading each passage and have students monitor their speech sounds while discussing. They can be modified for how you want to use them. But better for carryover." – D.F., SLP
"I love the Articulation Theatre set." – T.M., SLP
"I just got Articulation Theatre. It's really great. The kids like it!" – R.W., SLP

"I love Articulation Theatre." – S.K., SLP

"My students LOVE their Articulation Theatre Books!" – K.S., SLP
"The performance at the end of the intervention was a way for my students to work towards a goal and have a product (i.e. performance) to highlight their work. The Articulation Theatre Books were instrumental in helping my students achieve their goals." – J.P., SLP
"Language Theatre Books make it easy to target various goals simultaneously in your mixed groups! I just love this unique twist on therapy and definitely recommend them! The best part is that they can also be used with the Articulation Theatre series!"
