How can I use this bundle in Speech Therapy or a Special Education Classroom?

Use these worksheets and Boom Cards in your speech therapy or special education classroom to teach students about important people in our history. Use them for small group work, small group discussions or even large group work! Boom Cards can be displayed on a smart board or tablet while the students complete the same work on their print worksheets! You can even assign these for homework using FREE Fast Play pins on the Boom Learning website.

In my Speech Therapy group sessions, I display the activities on my iPad for small group work, while the students complete the same work on their print versions! The students love seeing the work on the screen and interacting with the iPad as well! For individual sessions, I use either the digital version or the print version depending on the student’s preference and needs!

⭐️ Vocabulary Comprehension
