1 Month of Speech Therapy

               

During the summer we don't want our children to "lose" all of the skills they've learned. Especially with the COVID epidemic and most of us using distance learning while supplementing it with being a home-school teacher.

In order to do this we need to expose our children to reading, books, and other fun language opportunities. I made this pack and it has activities that are geared towards speech therapy but also simple enough for parents to use at home.

You can read one of the books (or buy/print your own) and then add 1 activity every day. It shouldn't take more than 15 minutes of your time. You child will be reading, and exposed to language activities everyday. This will help them in the fall when we go back to school! (hopefully!)

Here are activities from The Itsy Bitsy Spider:

And examples from: Everything You Need for Jack and Jill

Summer Speech and Language Pack!!!

Do you need a quick activity pack for your summer clients or homework? I've made it! This pack has language- pronouns, possessives, following directions and articulation activities!!!

And it's only $2!

Summer, don't leave!

My, oh my! Where has the time flown! Here it is, August, and it seems like the time has gone by so fast! It is almost time to get ready for school!

During the summer you can play some easy games with your child so that they don't lose all of the skills they gained from the previous school year.

Here are some ideas to get the language going at home!

• play 20 questions
• play I spy
• make an obstacle course in your living room if it's raining or in your yard when it's beautiful. Make sure to name and label the directions for your child. For example, "you are going through the tunnel, now you are under trampoline", etc.
• read books
• follow a recipe
• play a board game
• play store, school, barbies or cars with your child.
• play Simon says
• print off the calendar below for more language ideas!
• go outside and just talk about what you see- don't quiz your child in a testing manner but have a back and forth conversation so that they don' t feel pressured to speak or get the right answer!

Enjoy the time with your kids, by the time you know it the summer will be just a memory and they will be back in school!
Cheers,
