5-Minute Kids Program Manual

The 5-Minute Kids™ program is a creative, effective service delivery model for students working on articulation skills. Very often in traditional pull-out group therapy, students in the group alternate during the sessions between actively working on sounds with the SLP and passively waiting while others receive the direct instruction and practice.

5-Minute Kids™ is a clear, step-by-step program developed by a speech language pathologist to help children with speech sound disorders. The intent of this program is to minimize the amount of time that a child spends out of the classroom, and to improve the quality of time that the child spends working on individual speech sounds in therapy.

A student enrolled in the 5-Minute Kids™ program receives individual therapy for five to seven minute sessions, two to four times per week. The child practices targeted speech sounds by repeating words, naming pictures, reading, and conversation. The suggestions for data collection and organization would also be beneficial for serving students using the RTL model.

Manual includes: step by step manual, a variety of data collection sheets, pre- and post-testing forms for S, R, L, SH, CH, K, G, TH, F and V, pictures for baseline word items, lesson plan log, homework logs, and attendance calendars.

Grades: Pre-K and up.
