Hello Students!
Can you believe it is already time for our Winter Break? This school year is
flying by so fast!
I hope you remember to fit in some speech practice time.
You can always practice your speech worksheets right after breakfast, after
you brush your teeth, or even in the car...or ask Mom or Dad if you can go
online and play one of the games on my website.
For my Speech Students: Go to LINKS and play an online game from #10 or #11.
Practice your good speech sounds EVERY DAY for at least 5 minutes.
Pick a "key word" with your sound in it; pick a word that you will be saying
many times throughout the week. (Spelling words work great!)
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.
For my Language Students: Go to LINKS and play a game from #12, #13, or #14.
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.
Playing with a buddy makes it more fun!
Enjoy your Break, and your time with your family!
I'll see you in the New Year!
Mrs. Potts :)
