I have decided to devote September to creating some free picture communication boards for various school activities. So, to celebrate Read a Book Day - which is September 6th - here is a communication board for use at library time. Note that this is an activity-based communication board that uses core vocabulary, as well as context-based fringe words. This board is consistent with all of my activity-based communication boards. (You can find some at my TPT store here and here.) You will find pronouns and verbs predominate, along with adjectives. There are some Wh-questions. And, yes, there are a few nouns that are appropriate for the situation. Remember that self-selected reading is important for all students; especially those with communication disorders who may not get the same world-experiences as others. Talk to your librarian about story time in the library to see if you can have some activities ready that will go along with the book (s)he reads. And remember to try to make all read aloud times shared reading times with interactions and questions. What book will you read for Read a Book Day?
Building a strong relationship between home and school is a critical piece of teaching, but it can be tough to do if you don't feel confident in how best to do so. Most teacher education programs do little to prepare new educators for collaborating with their families in the classroom so we are typically left to

Communicate, Connect, Collaborate explores the implications of convergence-the melding of all media with digital networks-for human communication and everyday life. Convergence serves as the foundation for the current ubiquitous communication era, a time in which individuals can interact with anyone, at any moment, from anywhere. The lines delineating interpersonal, small group, organizational, public, and mass communication have blurred as people routinely share their thoughts and ideas with others via social networking platforms, blogs, messaging apps, texts, and emails. These ways of connecting have altered how individuals think about communication, enact relationships, and inform and persuade each other. Connection, collaboration, participation, and accessibility animate the text's overarching principles in understanding the roles and skills essential to communicating effectively in today's pervasive communication environment. In recognizing communicators as prosumers, or active message producers rather than passive message consumers, the text empowers students to successfully negotiate their agency and identity across communication contexts. Written in an engaging, conversational style, the book centers on an innovative model of communication that integrates networked digital media, addresses cultural differences and diversity, incorporates examples from popular culture and current events, and offers sound pedagogy grounded in the authors' extensive teaching and research in the discipline. Providing a fresh approach to socially relevant and traditional communication topics, Communicate, Connect, Collaborate is the ideal core textbook to introduce students to the fundamental knowledge and tools they need to participate as competent and critical communicators in today's increasingly complex world.
This "Snack & Story" approach offers a super fun and effective way to support communication skills in children. It taps into their natural curiosity, provides meaningful context for language, and encourages social interaction. So, whether you're a parent, educator, SLP or caregiver, consider adding a dash of creativity to your classroom lessons, speech sessions or at home by incorporating this dynamic duo into your child's routine.
Let's Talk About Communication is an engaging board game that strengthens English language skills for both native and English Language Learner (ELL) students. This printable resource features a game board with thought-provoking conversation prompts to get students talking. To play, students take turns rolling the dice and moving their token. When landing on a space, they read the prompt aloud and verbally share their response. This back-and-forth exchange builds confidence for shy speakers while expanding vocabulary and comprehension abilities. Teachers can modify the game by having students work in pairs or small groups of 3-4, write down answers individually or together, or turn it into a race to the finish line. With topics like favorite foods, weekend activities, and dream vacations, Let's Talk About Communication sparks friendly discussion and bonding. This versatile teaching tool can be used for whole class instruction, small group work, or even as a “center” activity for differentiated learning. Simple yet engaging, it’s an excellent way to improve communication skills. Let's Talk About Communication Board Game

Highlights 5,000,000 COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE - TRANSLATED IN MORE THAN 35 LANGUAGES What is Violent Communication? About the Author: Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD (1934-2015) founded and was for many years the Director of Educational Services for the Center for Nonviolent Communication, an international peacemaking organization. 264 Pages Self Improvement, Personal Growth Series Name: Nonviolent Communication Guides Description Book Synopsis 5,000,000 COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE - TRANSLATED IN MORE THAN 35 LANGUAGES What is Violent Communication? If "violent" means acting in ways that result in hurt or harm, then much of how we communicate--judging others, bullying, having racial bias, blaming, finger pointing, discriminating, speaking without listening, criticizing others or ourselves, name-calling, reacting when angry, using political rhetoric, being defensive or judging who's "good/bad" or what's "right/wrong" with people--could indeed be called "violent communication." What is Nonviolent Communication? Nonviolent Communication is the integration of four things: - Consciousness: a set of principles that support living a life of compassion, collaboration, courage, and authenticity - Language: understanding how words contribute to connection or distance - Communication: knowing how to ask for what we want, how to hear others even in disagreement, and how to move toward solutions that work for all - Means of influence: sharing "power with others" rather than using "power over others" Nonviolent Communication serves our desire to do three things: - Increase our ability to live with choice, meaning, and connection - Connect empathically with self and others to have more satisfying relationships - Sharing of resources so everyone is able to benefit Review Quotes "Nonviolent Communication connects soul to soul, creating a lot of healing. It is the missing element in what we do." --Deepak Chopra, author of How To Know God "Dr. Rosenberghas brought the simplicity of successful communication into the foreground. No matter what issue you're facing, his strategies for communicating with others will set you up to win every time." --Anthony Robbins, author, Awaken the Giant Within and Unlimited Power "Marshall Rosenberg'sdynamic communication techniques transform potential conflicts into peaceful dialogues and create compassionate connections. I highly recommend this book." -- John Gray, Ph.D., author of Men are From Mars, Women are from Venus "Nadella's time as CEO was initially shaped by Marshall Rosenberg's 'Nonviolent Communication, ' which he asked his top executives to read. This was the first indicator to senior leadership that Nadella would not operate like his predecessors" -- Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO, Business Insider "The CEO of Microsoft, the most valuable company in the world, grounds himself and Microsoft's culture on ideas he's learned thanks to his reading habit. 'I read a few pages here or a few pages there, ' Nadella told Fast Company. 'There are a few books, of course, that you read end-to-end. But without books I can't live.' Nadella's time as CEO was initially shaped by Marshall Rosenberg's 'Nonviolent Communication, ' which he asked his top executives to read. This was the first indicator to senior leadership that Nadella would not operate like his predecessors. Nadella recommended it to his leadership team, symbolically differentiating his expectations from that of his predecessors. Nonviolent communication integrates qualities like compassion and effective communication to allow for better leadership. Rosenberg writes from a position of experience and research: He has started peace programs in places throughout the world that have experienced the effects of war, including Rwanda, Sri Lanka, Serbia, and Ireland. This book outlines the principles of peaceful conflict resolution. It's interesting to note that one of the concepts involves sharing power with others instead of using power over others. Nadella recommended it to his leadership team, symbolically differentiating his expectations from that of his predecessors. Reports have found that Microsoft used to have a conflict-heavy culture under Steve Ballmer -- now there's nonviolent communication coming from the top." -- Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO, Business Insider "The 1 Book That Transformed Microsoft's Culture from Cutthroat to Creative." -- Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO "Upon becoming Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella asked his top executives to read Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication. . . . If empathy as a measure of emotional IQ is a predictor of success, then Nadella hit the nail on the head by inculcating the corporate giant with the trait from top to bottom. Why else is empathy important? Microsoft is both a services and a product company, and its offerings have to resonate with users. Nadella states: 'You have to be able to say, "Where is this person coming from? What makes them tick? Why are they excited or frustrated by something that is happening, whether it's about computing or beyond computing?"' -- Harry McCracken, Fast Company "You have to be able to say, 'Where is this person coming from?' he says. 'What makes them tick? Why are they excited or frustrated by something that is happening, whether it's about computing or beyond computing?' There's far more to McCracken's outstanding piece. Nadella gave him a close and honest look at both himself and Microsoft, and the result is a fun must-read." -- Ben Kerschberg, Forbes About the Author Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD (1934-2015) founded and was for many years the Director of Educational Services for the Center for Nonviolent Communication, an international peacemaking organization. During his life he authored fifteen books, including the bestselling Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life (PuddleDancer Press), which has sold more than one million copies worldwide and has been translated into more than 30 languages, with more translations in the works. Dr. Rosenberg has received a number of awards for his Nonviolent Communication work including: 2014: Champion of Forgiveness Award from the Worldwide Forgiveness Alliance 2006: Bridge of Peace Nonviolence Award from the Global Village Foundation 2005: Light of God Expressing in Society Award from the Association of Unity Churches 2004: Religious Science International Golden Works Award 2004: International Peace Prayer Day Man of Peace Award by the Healthy, Happy Holy (3HO) Organization 2002: Princess Anne of England and Chief of Police Restorative Justice Appreciation Award 2000: International Listening Association Listener of the Year Award Dr. Rosenberg first used the NVC process in federally funded school integration projects to provide mediation and communication skills training during the 1960s. The Center for Nonviolent Communication, which he founded in 1984, now has hundreds of certified NVC trainers and supporters teaching NVC in more than sixty countries around the globe. A sought-after presenter, peacemaker and visionary leader, Dr. Rosenberg led NVC workshops and international intensive trainings for tens of thousands of people in over 60 countries across the world and provided training and initiated peace programs in many war-torn areas including Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and the Middle East. He worked tirelessly with educators, managers, health care providers, lawyers, military officers, prisoners, police and prison officials, government officials, and individual families. With guitar and puppets in hand and a spiritual energy that filled a room, Marshall showed us how to create a more peaceful and satisfying world.
