Congratulations–and Thanks!–Jinni Krause
March 4, 2010 by pam
MTT salutes Speech Language Pathologist Jinni Krause, winner of the first Creator of the Month honors! Jinni works with children in the Brunswick City Schools in Brunswick, OH, at Kidder and Memorial Elementary Schools. Read on to meet her and see a list of her lessons!
Jinni has been an SLP for 22 years, and has been at Brunswick for the last 2 years.
She works with preschoolers, typical kids on language and articulation, and with special education kids (some with autism, augmentative/alternative communication devices, and one with a cochlear implant).
She says, “Many of these kids have come into the therapy room requesting that we play a VizZle game today. It keeps their attention with the bright, realistic pictures, and they love the sound effects. The reward at the end helps motivate them also.”
Jinni has created an impressive number of lessons for her students since she has been using VizZle–52 lessons total at last count. She has created many games and matching boards for vocabulary from the Big Book series she uses in her therapy room, as well as many for articulation of specific sounds in speech. Listed below is just a small sample of her work:
ID 6645 Prepositions
ID 6810 Answering Yes/No Questions
ID 9920 Past Tense Copular Verbs
ID 6587 Multiple Meanings
ID 6838 Medial “g” Word Associations
ID 6533 Pets
ID 8094 Rhymes-Initial “th”
ID 9860 Rhymes- “g” all Positions
We salute you Jinni for your hard work and generosity in sharing it! And everybody who has borrowed one of your lessons thanks you too. Congratulations on being named our first Creator of the Month!
