The materials are both effective and beautiful! I tutor children who come from Spanish speaking homes and who have a real need for guuided conversaiton in English. These materials have been a Godsend!
So excited to find this great kit! The kids really love the variety of colors, sizes, and textures in the items. Very engaging!!!
I have used this kit to work on planning and vocabulary. It has been great and was engaging for my clients. The wood stumps do create quite a mess and it would be nice if they were sealed with something. I can see many uses for these thoughtfully created kits.
These kits have supported our staff in creating learning opportunities for many of our students. We see the impact not only with our children who demonstrate lags in communication but also with our English Language Learners. Everything you need is made and ready for use on day 1!
If I could only have 3 items in my speech room, the Whole Kit and Kaboodle would be all I need to target goals across the board with each student I work with. HIGHLY recommend!
This is a great product, kids love it, great to give EA’s to practice with kids, and targets just what is needed.
I am thrilled with the New Super sentences Kit. As an SLP working with Preschool through 5th grade, I can honestly say that this kit grabs and maintains the attention of all my students. It was obviously very carefully and skillfully created. Also, the service I received was fabulous; When I informed them that one of the mini objects had arrived broken, I was sent a response and a new item immediately. This kit is well worth the price, as I know I’ll be using it for years to come to target multiple areas of communication.
I recently purchased the Super Sentences kit and used it with my students this past week. It is my new favorite therapy tool! I used it to target pronouns, verbs, and listening for details. I know I will think of even more ways to use it. The students loved it as much as I did. I love that this tool is hands on and engaging for the children. I have purchased so many speech therapy materials over the years, only to be disappointed. This kit, on the other hand, is worth every penny.
This is kit is just amazing! I have wanted to put something together myself for a long time but just couldn't get around to it. It helps me to work on Non-Verbal Working Memory in addition to building language skills. It is a tool that I feel every SLP should have in their toolbox.
Great product that teaches so much more that SEL, but position words, environmental print, sight words, and so much more! Love this!
I have not used this with my students YET, but plan to use it in my new position as an MLL teacher. I am so very excited for providing hands on, practical practice for my students who are learning English for the first time. One of my kits was missing some pieces and i was helped right away and new pieces were sent to me. Such an awesome product and amazing customer service!
This is a kit full of educational fun. The kids love it and so do I—especially since so much thought has already gone into goals. Thank you!!
our Kindergarten teams have loved this kit! It has been super valuable to support our students with speech and language concerns, as well as our entire class, as all of our vocabulary can stretch and grow! Thank you!
I work with students who are ESL and I love the sentence building kit! He is in kindergarten and he loves working with it. I will be placing an order for the other two kits!! I love the kits and the company. This Alberta based company has me! I love what they represent and how inclusive they are. There is no one better and I would love to see every classroom in Alberta have these kits!!! Thank you Communakit!!!!
The communakit is very practical, hands on and rich with learning opportunities. It can be adapted to many different levels or needs and is truly engaging for students. They love it and are building their language skills without even knowing it. That's how fun and dynamic the activities are. Students can interact together or be leaders reading the instructions and monitoring how their partners are doing. A fabulous resource.
Connie and Robyn, you have done it again! Your 2nd version of your Communakits are amazing! Our school division bought them for all of our prek and Kindergarten classes and I have seen them being used every day (not exaggerating). Some teachers made them into a center for the students to use with their peers and I see the students still going there first when they have free play. They love being the 'teacher'!. Connie came to do a presentation for our teacher and the feedback was so positive. One teacher said "That was the best PD I've been to in a long time". For myself as an SLPA, they are still my go to kit and I take them everywhere! I have used them as small group activities and in individual sessions as there are so many goals they cover, and all through play! All the new upgrades in each kit paired with the new pictures cards are a nice touch. I cannot wait to see what they come up with next!
Communakit is an amazing new resource for a variety of stakeholders! Whether you are a speech-language pathologist, therapy assistant, early childhood educator, childcare provider, or parent, these kits are perfect for busy adults that need a "grab and go" pre-prepared resource to help children expand on their language skills. Our favourite kit is the Bears and Chair kit. Children love manipulating the bears around the chair (it gives them a sense of power), and they are so excited to take their turn as "the teacher" when it comes time to practice using prepositions in their expressive language.As busy SLPs, we love that these kits are easy to transport and easy to clean. We adore that they are perfect for handing to an assistant that may be wanting/needing more structured play-based activity ideas for their sessions. The hardest part about Communakit is trying to keep kids' hands out of our therapy bags as they can't wait to play with them!
I am so excited and cannot say enough good about these Communakits! They are engaging and exciting for the kids and so easy to adapt and use. The cards that are included are bright and easy to look at and understand, even for the kids. The instructions are easy to follow I love how Connie and Robyn make videos showing these kits in action. I am a speech therapy assistant and my students request these kits all the time and are sad if we have to work on something else first. These now have become my "Go to" kits that I have with me all the time. They are so versatile and can be accommodated to just about any goal I have. (I have turned the beds upside down and put the food on them and have an instant grocery store!) In this set of kits I can target expressive, receptive language, pronouns, labelling and categories and location words by either using each kit independently of the other or mixing and matching kits. The cards that come with them are so easy to use and my students love becoming the teacher. My only regret... is not having these kits sooner and I cannot wait to see what they come out with next!
We came across the Communakit during a homeschool conference. Our children enjoy learning from this kit! We specifically have used it to teach our children Spanish. Although the cards do not come translated in Spanish, we can still use the pre-written sentences with our children. We have the Super Sentences kit and so much learning has come from it!
