Hello to all of my Fabulous Speech and Language Students!
The weather is getting colder...do you know what SEASON we are in?
Did you have a nice Break?
Did you find time to fit a little practice in, with one of the activities
that I have sent home or one of my online games.
For my Speech Students:
Practice your good speech sounds EVERY DAY. Pick a "daily key word" with
your sound in it. Spelling words are great, because you will be saying them
many times throughout the week. This way you can practice two things at once!
Every time you say that word, focus on your sound. . . repeat it, 'fix' it,
if you need to, and say it with your BEST SOUNDS.
Remember that when you learn any new skill, a sport, a musical instrument,
or lines in a play, PRACTICE helps you to improve. It's the same for your
speech and skills. Correct practice leads to muscle memory for making sounds
correctly!
When you feel like doing nothing, do a little! Even 5-10 minutes is better
than nothing! Doing 5 minutes of practice DAILY is better than doing 30
minutes once in a while.
Go to LINKS and play an online game from #12 or #13.
For my Language Students:
Make some time once a week to play one of our online games with a friend,
sister, brother, cousin, aunt, uncle, mom, dad, grandma, or grandpa.
To play an online game, go to LINKS and click on #9 through #15 and play!
Playing with a BUDDY makes it more fun!
Go to LINKS and play an online game from #9, #11, or #14.
For all Students:
If you have an iPod, go to this link to play a game and learn about keeping
the volume of your earbuds at a safe level for your hearing.
