Speech Therapy Posters

Why Use Speech Therapy Posters?

Speech-language pathologists employ a variety of tools and visuals to help their students. These whimsical, colorful speech therapy posters are designed to be used in a speech therapy classroom to highlight classroom rules, new strategies, parts of the mouth and to make students feel welcome!

Speech therapy posters should be brightly colored and clear, and, if applicable, have a lot of characters, words, and things going on in general. These posters can be created by the teacher and displayed as informative and inviting decorations around the Speech Therapy room. They can also be created by students as a way to dive deeper into the anatomy of speech and to collaborate on important rules and strategies

Speech therapy printable posters can also be created by students or as a group. This is beneficial for many reasons:

1. If you are deciding on class rules together, helping create the rules and the poster gives kids a sense of pride and ownership.


2. Kids have incredibly creative minds; they will love showing you what they know how to do!


3. Having kids create something fun like a poster will get them practicing in the Storyboard That creator. When it comes time to work on an assignment, they will be pros!


4. Working together to create a poster that will hang up in the classroom will give them a sense of collaboration and teamwork.


5. When we create, we remember! Nothing is better than having students invested in their own learning.

Our speech posters, also known as SLP posters, can be used for all grade levels, and are sure to brighten up any classroom. Use speech therapy posters for middle school, elementary school, and even high school!

How to Make a Poster from Scratch

Are you interested in making your own speech and language therapy posters from scratch? Great! Simply follow these steps:

1. Click on any “create a storyboard” button. This will bring you to the storyboard creator.


2. Give your speech poster a name. We suggest giving it a detailed name so that you know how to find it in the future. Click continue.


3. Now that you are in the storyboard creator, click on the “layout” button in the right hand menu. You can choose either the "8.5 x 14" layout for a small poster, or the “11 x 17” layout for a larger poster.


4. Choose whether you want your poster to be horizontal or vertical and click “okay”.


5. To find Storyboard That’s worksheet and poster assets, click on the “worksheets” button in the top row. If you are on a small screen such as a Chromebook, you may have to press the “more” button to find this option.


6. Once you are in this category, you will find all kinds of assets such as borders, graphic organizers, lines, and so much more. Simply drag and drop where you want the assets to go. While these assets are great, you may not even need them and will find that we have tons of patterns, shapes, images, characters, and more to choose from.


7. Once you have made your own poster, click save and exit. Remember, even if you create the poster using color, you can still print it out in black and white.

Creating an SLP poster from scratch can be fun, but don’t forget: you can copy one of our premade poster templates and make major changes to it. The choice is really up to you! Another option is to have the students make their own posters (or worksheets) as part of an assignment. There is so much you can do with our pre-made poster template. Have fun!
