As a national speaker, Sara L. Smith provides insight into learning and demonstrates strategies to use with all children. Her interest and continued study of language processing and multi-sensory approaches has led to her development of the Expanding Expression Tool (EET) for improved oral and written expression. She received her bachelor's Degree from Central Michigan University and her Master's Degree from Bowling Green State University.

The Idea
During my first year as a speech-language pathologist I noticed how difficult it was for kids to express themselves. Even to talk about common vocabulary or objects was a challenge. One night I went home and put together a tool that would show kids all the things they could include when describing. My students started providing 7-8 details about whatever I asked them to describe with the EET. I then used the EET to help my students write reports. I used it with students in the gifted and talented, general education, and special education classrooms. I noticed that all the students with whom I used it made remarkable gains that were almost immediate. When our principal saw the results with the Expanding Expression Tool, she indicated she wanted all of our teachers using it. I am very grateful to her and to the many teachers who were the first to welcome the EET into their classrooms. I then developed the EET into a kit for classrooms and presented at my first conference.

And Now...
I spend my days between presenting across the country and parenting two wonderful children. The Expanding Expression Tool is throughout the US, in Canada and other countries, and in over 12,000 classrooms. Although I miss having my own students, I am blessed to be able to work with students when modeling lessons. I am also enjoying the success stories and student samples sent to me by teachers.

🌟 Practice Makes Perfect! 🌟
Look at Lexi go! After practicing her show-and-tell description with her EETCHY Bag, she confidently shared it with her class—and totally nailed it! 🧸✨

Her mom and teacher shared this amazing video of Lexi describing her item, using the Expanding Expression Tool (EET) to help organize her thoughts and share with confidence. We’re so proud of her hard work and success! 🎉👏

🎒✨ "Look who's ready for Show and Tell!" ✨🎒

Lexi practiced at home with her EETCHY bag, and it paid off! Watch as she confidently describes her special item, using the EET to organize her thoughts like a pro. 💬👏

Her mom shared how excited Lexi was for her turn at school—and it's easy to see why! 🏫💚

The EET isn’t just a tool—it’s a confidence booster, a way to make learning fun, and a game-changer for kids like Lexi. 🌟

During the recent global crisis, schools were forced to adjust their modes of learning in a short amount of time, leaving many ill-prepared to adopt the new mechanisms required for the transition. As a result, learning loss among students of all ages has been on the rise.

The Expanding Expression Tool (EET) is an excellent solution to not only improve students' expressiveness and language skills, but also have fun while learning!
