I am a new SLP and have been wanting to send home homework, but combined with everything else, it has been put on the back burner for the time being. Trying to come up with a variety of ideas to last the whole year seems daunting and overwhelming so I completely appreciate posts like this! <br /><br />I have sent home homework for a couple of students, however. I am not a fan of worksheets and have so far sent home a flying toy for some students working on /fl/ blends and a couple of books. This week I am planning on making go fish cards that have their target sounds in therapy with my students so that they can take those home to play with siblings or parents and use for homework. <br /><br />I am all about making homework (and therapy) fun and motivating. meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02188320971284421089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500894065429399287.post-25023505864477227902013-04-07T12:04:25.382-04:002013-04-07T12:04:25.382-04:00Thanks so much for sharing!

Getting parents to sign and return anything has been almost impossible, especially the ones who complained. I think the packaging idea is great and I am going to start working on that asap. Thank you for the effort and time you spend working on your blog and sharing. <br />DollyLGLGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12093641489127771615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500894065429399287.post-68426647673914980892012-10-29T23:38:04.183-04:002012-10-29T23:38:04.183-04:00I really like your idea about keeping track of ret...I really like your idea about keeping track of returned homework as part of your data.

It goes home daily with information about the day. If any contact is needed with the parent or private therapists, it's in the language book.

What I especially like about them is that I can put what we worked on today and how the kid's behavior was. Since I very rarely see parents, I figured out that this was the best way to try to communicate with them. I do ask for a parent signature back and then I keep track of the percentage of returned HWs. That way if a parent asks why their kids hasn't made much progress, I can easily know how much work has been done at home! ;)CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537821831479150677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500894065429399287.post-53575947451461171102012-10-27T14:52:51.677-04:002012-10-27T14:52:51.677-04:00I see PTs in an a clinic and have the luxury of kn...I see PTs in an a clinic and have the luxury of knowing most of my kids teachers and school SLP. I try to set up a journal with each of my families to record the child's daily experiences and have a common place for all professionals to communicate.

Highlight the target throughout the book and glue pre-printed instructions for parents and students inside the book. There were no notes to write. I simply gave the book to the child with verbal instructions. After you have a stack, it's much easier than folders.
