Easy Fridge Fun for Language Skills

If you have kids at home, chances are good they are constantly in the fridge!  Why not turn the fridge into a "language hub?"  We have a set of alphabet magnets on our fridge.  Both of my kids (15 and 10) love to create new phrases with the letters.  They have to get creative with… Continue reading Easy Fridge Fun for Language Skills

Winter Fun To Promote Language

Winter is cold.  It's dreary.  In the south, it takes way too long to get to spring!  (Can you tell I don't care for winter?)  But the good thing is winter does lend itself to some pretty fun sensory activities that promote language!  There's just something about playing a bin of snow (fake or real),… Continue reading Winter Fun To Promote Language

Speech Therapy Theme Review: Winter Clothing

This week's theme in speech therapy is winter clothing.  Kind of inappropriate since my weather forecast predicts 70 degree temps by Tuesday!  But the calendar says January so we are talking mittens, coats and scarves!  We have a mix of old and new activities to use this week.

Snowmen Crafts for Speech Therapy

Rumor has it we are going to have snow flurries this week.  While "snow flurries" are not a big deal north of Texas, here it is HUGE!  Kids are talking about the possibility of no school (yes we JUST returned from a 2 week break!).  Grocery stores are packed and supplies are slim pickings!  That… Continue reading Snowmen Crafts for Speech Therapy

Speech Therapy Theme Review: Snow

I absolutely love talking about snow in my speech therapy sessions.  Maybe it's because I'm from Texas and we don't see it very much.  Maybe it's HUGE choice of books and activities...Maybe it's both! Favorite Books about Snow The Cold Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow This continues to be a favorite with the kids.  My… Continue reading Speech Therapy Theme Review: Snow
