How are Boom Cards helpful for SLPs?

Boom learning allows SLPs and teachers to create or purchase interactive decks of task cards. There are also lots of free decks for speech and language on Boom! Students love getting the immediate visual and auditory feedback on their responses. These task cards are used similarly to actual cards but they are presented on a web platform. Plus, we know that students love working with technology!

Boom learning activities available on TPT: Check out this freebie of mine on TPT:

You can make a move towards going paperless with Boom. No more printing, cutting and laminating task cards! Say good-bye to Velcro and glue! What a timesaver for busy SLPs.
Most Boom cards are self-checking. That means, you can assign boom cards to students in your group while you work individually with a student. They are great for your RTI and mixed group toolboxes!
Any set of Boom Cards purchased on TpT allows you to forever play the Boom Cards using Fast Play. Fast Play does not save student progress reports but does provide you and your students unlimited and lifetime play of the decks you purchase from TpT.
