 March 16, 2020Dear Yardville Speech Therapy Family,This remote learning packet contains activities to help your child work on his/her speech/language goals while at home. Please help your child complete the activities giving verbal and visual cues as needed. Indicate completion of an activity with a check mark. There are so many games and websites online to have fun practicing their sounds while they are having fun playing! I am putting together articulation/sound packet handouts which I am hoping the schools can mail to my speech students. Speech therapy may be incorporated into many different everyday activities. I know at this particular time it is not recommended to visit parks, grocery stores, and movie theatres etc. However, instead read magazines, comic strips, books, cereal boxes.... and Talk about Who, What, When, Where, and Why. Search your home for as many different types of foods with your sound. This activity can be carried out in your child’s bedroom, living room, etc. All of these ideas help to facilitate the speech and language development of your child no matter what age they are. These activities provide the flexibility to target several speech/language areas; please refer to your child’s IEP for his/her specific speech/language goals and objectives which will provide specific areas to focus on during each activity. Should you have any questions, I will be available via email. Thank you for your support during this tumultuous timeSincerely,Ms. G (Lynn Gravenstine)lynngravenstine@hamilton.k12.nj.usDAYActivityTarget(s)Completed (?)*1-10Practice SoundsArticulation/ Sound packets will be sent home to students. - Target sound (ie: /r, s, l, sh, ch, vocalic r, blends/ - Positions (ie./initial, medial, and final/ positions .-Levels of speech (ie.
