Sample Super Mario Passages created by AI services

 3rd Grade Level Fiction- Bing AI Mario and Luigi were taking a walk in the Mushroom Kingdom when they saw a strange portal. They had never seen anything like it before. "What do you think it is?" asked Luigi. "I don't know," said Mario. "But let's go find out!" Mario and Luigi jumped into the portal and disappeared. When they opened their eyes, they were in a strange new world. The sky was purple and the trees were blue. Mario and Luigi had never seen anything like it before. "Where are we?" asked Luigi. "I don't know," said Mario. "But it looks like we're going to have an adventure!" Mario and Luigi started walking through the strange new world. They soon came across a group of friendly creatures called Yoshis. The Yoshis told Mario and Luigi that they were in the Land of Yoshi. "Welcome to the Land of Yoshi!" said one of the Yoshis. "We're so glad you're here." T...

Let's get spacey (and a freebie!)

I love Star Wars.  Even "The Last Jedi" and "The Phantom Menace."

I watch the shows, I watch the movies, and I'm even spreading the love to my own children.

While you may not love Star Wars like I do, you can certainly appreciate working on activities that get your students talking and having fun.

This freebie will get that job done- think of this as a free Fun Friday activity that you might be able to do with your whole caseload.


I put a lot of the favorite characters like Luke and Darth Vader and even some more obscure items like some of the "pets" and animals that were seen in the 9 movies!

Many of my students love Star Wars, and these pages are a great way to stimulate conversation in your speech and language therapy groups.  Hey, sometimes I have to sub in a classroom, and this is a great activity for breaking the ice or giving the students a "fun" activity to work towards.

I hope you have as much fun with this activity as I do!

Switch Tracking and the SLP

My listening habits take some strange turns from time to time. I have been listening to Season 3 of the Revisionist History podcast recently.  While I wish I could “binge listen,” I have to slug it out and wait for the weekly updates.  If you haven’t listened to this podcast, you really must.  Malcolm Gladwell breaks apart issues in only his way- I often think of his delivery in twisting out your preconceptions about a topic and then serving them to you on a nice plate.  I also love how he says the word “years.”  But that’s just a speechie thing. I stumbled across the podcast “Hidden Brain” from Shankar Vedantam (NPR) today because there are no new Revisionist episodes and was immediately intrigued by the idea of switch tracking.  While it has a psychology/social science base in it’s research and discussion, I find there is a specific link to what we do in SLP. Switch tracking refers to the way in which we receive feedback from others. ...

What you call a problem...

There is a wide span of expected behaviors with young students.  What's more, there is a wide span of behaviors when working with students with learning challenges.  In my years of assessing and working with students like this, it's clear to me.  What you consider a problem, I think is a strength. The student asks you for extra time in a game. The student who works to divert you from your lesson plan. The student who asks extra questions, or wants to know something personal. The student who shares personal narratives on a Monday or Friday. The student who tries to manipulate the situation through passive or active behavior (insert whatever that student likes to do!). You see, I get how these kinds of behaviors can be problematic.  I completely get that these kinds of behaviors can be disruptive.  Not only can they throw off a lesson, but they can mess up a day in school as well. The disruptions make for the problems, but on the other side of disruption is cognit...
