I have good intentions of doing "Summer Magic" with my kiddos again this year, and blogging it like I did a few years ago. We do themed weeks with lots of fun activities, snacks, books, games and movies and they are awesome for promoting language development. Plus its fun to plan and do awesome things with your kiddos! Feel free to check back to see if I actually get around to posting this year... but in the mean time, check out my past posts here:

City Tour
On the Go

Under the Sea

Creepy Crawlers

Deep in the Desert

The main point of summer is to interact with your child! Have fun. Enjoy each other. Talk. Snuggle. Read. Look at my Skills videos to learn how to best maximize this time and promote language development. Reach out to me if you have any questions! And most of all, HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!

May 18th-21st Homework

This week we will be practicing our speech sounds using Boom cards! These links don't require a login so you can just click an play. They should work on a phone, tablet or computer. These links will expire in 2 weeks so feel free to use them until then. Have your child say each word  a few times before moving to the next page (I usually use between 3-5 times each word for preschoolers and 5-10 for kindergarten and up).

*Please see my Sound Production Tips post for help learning how to cue and correctly elicit each sound*

Feel free to play the games from last week, too! They are available for one more week.

Speech and Language Lesson Week 8

Welcome to Week 8 of my online speech and language lessons during COVID-19 school closures. This week we read a book called "What Pet Should I Get?"

**This is the last week of school, and therefore my last recorded lesson. I hope you have enjoyed using them as much as I have enjoyed making them! I hope everyone has a great summer- stay safe and healthy, and tell all my students how much I miss them!**

Skill #7: Stop Asking Questions!

"Questions can put the child on the defensive and can lead to the child saying or doing less, rather than more."

Please check out this website for AWESOME resources and tips on how to improve communication with your child by using less questions!
