DID YOU KNOW SUMMER IS A GREAT TIME TO REINFORCE SPEECH AND LANGUAGE SKILLS?

1- Board Games: Play your favorite game while practicing their speech sound(s), describing common objects or construct a complete sentence before taking a turn.

2-Make a Video: Rather than watch a video, make a "How To" video using all the skills they learned throughout the year.

3-Cook Together:  Have your child help you make or cook a meal while using their good speech sounds, practicing sequencing and following direcitons and increasing vocabulry skills.

4-Get Active:  Turn outdoor activities into practice games. Use chalk to make a hopscotch game filled with new vocabulary or target sound words. Practice words or making sentences before taking your turn.

5-Road Trip Games: On the Road? Take turns making words lists to practice memory, describing skills or words with target sounds. Choose a category and find words that fit that cateorgy. Have family fun!

6-Swim & Speech: Write words on a beach ball and say the word your hand lands on. Create a sentence or describe the word to a parent.

HAVE FUN AND ENJOY YOUR SUMMER!
