Apraxia in Spanish Therapy Workbook

Products in Action· Speech Therapy

18 Mar

I just realized that I actually never blogged about one of my favorite resources that I have made. I created the Apraxia in Spanish Therapy Workbook: Intensive Intervention for Early Readers back in 2016. This resource took me about five months to make because I wanted to make something that would stand the test of time. Students inspire the best resources. I worked with one student with apraxia who was in kindergarten learning how to read. When I observed the student in the classroom, I watched how the classroom teacher taught reading. Since my student was bilingual, he was learning how to read in Spanish and the way that reading is taught in Spanish is different than reading is taught in English.

Spanish Reading Syllables

In Spanish, reading is taught using syllables. I noticed how the teachers were teaching reading and to me it seemed like I could incorporate some of what they were doing in their instruction in my speech therapy with my student with apraxia.

I organized all of the syllable prompts in the pack in the same way as the reading instruction I observed in kindergarten. Here are the consonants in the order they are taught:

  • M — ma me mi mo mu
  • P — pa pe pi po pu
  • L — la le li lo lu
  • S — sa se si so su
  • N — na ne ni no nu
  • D — da de di do du
  • T — ta te ti to tu
  • C — ca que qui co cu
  • F — fa fe fi fo fu
  • B — ba be bi bo bu

Syllable Shapes

Can you tell that this is a huge pack? It is over 100 pages long. I also wanted to include a variety of syllable shapes in the pack. Here is a list of the syllable shapes included:

  • CV
  • CV CV moving to CVCV
  • CVCV
  • CVC & CVV
  • VCV

Another thing I like about this resource is that it is perfect for homework. Spanish-speaking and bilingual families will recognize the way that the the pattern of syllables. It might be the way they might have also learned how to read. The way this resource is organized will be familiar to families. See below for the progression of part of the “ma me mi mo mu” section. This resource is 120+ pages long!

Just yesterday I re-did this entire resource from top to bottom. Now it contains a ton of apraxia flashcards! I like to go back and revise products periodically and this resource was up for a facelift. I know you will enjoy it and it will make therapy for apraxia so much easier and fun.

  • Working in schools as a speech pathologist for more than seven years, I have treated a lot of kids. One of my duties is to decide whether or not speech services continue to offer an educational benefit for students. I have found that most parents want their children to continue in speech therapy even after the recommendation for dismissal. It’s okay to disagree.
