I have recently started working with older kids (K-4th grade) in the speech therapy room. The cards I purchased from the Speech Corner were a quick, amazing resource that I was able to open and begin using right away. I appreciate the availability of these cards without me having to create and prep them. Thank you for another high-quality product!
