Super Summer Artic Practice!!

We have been out for summer for almost a week and it feels amazing. However, the break often means that students are away from speech services for roughly 30% of the entire school year. WIth this in mind at the end of every year I send home worksheets for students to practice their speech sounds. This year I sent my resources out via email as a reminder to parents as well as to save some paper. Parents and caregivers can help articulation students by giving feedback and make carryover skills much more successful. Like any other skill like piano, playing sports or reading, the more you practice the faster you improve in most cases. Here are some resources we sent home. Hope you enjoy them:

http://www.communicationconnects.com: This is a great link for students who are able to read and are for speech sounds in sentences. Students could read to their parents or relatives at home. It has stories for many consonant sounds in initial, medial and final position.

http://www.eduplace.com/tales/: This is a great link for students who are at the reading or conversation level for speech sounds or who are working on parts of speech (nouns, verbs etc.) By creating their own fill- in stories. Called Wacky Web Tales, they can be quite wacky when you have creative students.
