Summer Speech-e Club
Hello everyone!
I just discovered a great articulation resource over at Katie Pederson's "Let's Grow Speech" website. She has created a summer speech-e club with 9 weeks of summer themed articulation activities. The best thing is that you get the activity delivered right to your inbox every week! The club runs from June 17th through August 12th. Every Monday you will receive an email with activities to target that week. Can it get any easier than that? If you're interested in this great resource, check it out here. Let me know what you think.

Getting Ready for Summer!
Summer is fast approaching and so is the end of the school year! My students are very excited and so are the teachers and speech-language pathologists! This gets me thinking about summer activities for my students. Every year I think about what type of summer practice sheets should I send home? Will the parents and students complete them, or will they get mixed up with all the end of the year papers? Sometimes I receive summer homework back, other times not, and that's okay. Summer is about having fun, playing, and enjoying time away from the routine that the school year brings.
During the summer months, as I find interesting blog posts and materials, I will share them here. My hope is that my families will think about all the hard work their son/daughter has done on their speech and language goals throughout the year and provide everyday opportunities to practice them over the summer. For example, you might talk about the yummy ice cream you are sharing and sneak in some semantic language work too! You could ask your child to describe the ice cream (look, taste, feel, etc.), name different flavors, toppings, categorize the ice cream flavors, what goes on an ice cream sundae, etc. All that while trying not to get too messy with the melting ice cream!
To help you start thinking about summer practice too, here is a link to Adaptable, Flexible, and Versatile Speech-Language Therapy blog. Karen, at AFV has created summer activity calendars. Every day has a different idea targeting many areas of language throughout each week. Click here to check them out!
The count down is on!
