Dear students & families,

We made it to the last week of school, congratulations! This year took some unforeseen twists and turns and it was difficult for all of us in one way or another. Students, thank you for your continued work and dedication. Parents, thank you for supporting your students and being flexible!

This will be my final post for this school year. These activities are fun ideas for summer speech and language practice. I encourage you to try some of them, but they are not required. I hope you all enjoy a safe and well earned summer vacation! I hope to see you in the fall!

The EET is an evidenced based tool that I have used for years in my sessions. I love using this when helping students to increase their oral expression. Take a look at this mini lesson by Mrs. Peltz!

Today’s post features a mini lesson from Mrs. Peltz and fun activity! Who doesn’t love a scavenger hunt? I know I do!

Hello friends! Last week, I posted a video about answering questions after listening to short stories. Here is another video targeting auditory comprehension. This is ideal for a younger age group, pre-k & lower elementary. Enjoy!!!

This activity will challenge a student’s auditory memory and ability to answer questions about short stories. If you need some practice with “wh” questions forms or auditory comprehension, this mini lesson is for you!

Greetings parents and students!

I have been thinking a lot about my students who struggle with their speech fluency during these unprecedented times. As we know, heightened emotional states, such as anxiety, can impact your child’s speech fluency. You may find them stuttering more and having a hard time controlling it. Please check out these resources to assist your child during these difficult times!

Students,

In honor of Mother’s Day this weekend, I thought it might be fun to practice speech and language skills with your mom in mind! Please click on the links for some fun practice. Write mom a poem, letter, or color her a picture and tell her why you love her!

Hello! Last week, I posted a video about targeting vocabulary skills for older students. This one is great for younger children! Great activity for ages 3 and up. Have fun with this!
