Oh Hey Aren!!! All dressed up and lookin' festive for her sessions today!!!

Helping children cope with stress during Covid.

and Read This!!! Please don’t say, Don’t worry OR my child didn’t X until YZ so it’s ok & here’s why:

Yes, yes, yes. "What often happens to dyslexic students in the 3rd grade is that they’re unable to make the leap between simple reading of single syllable phonics words to new lower frequency multiple syllabic words that that infuse 3rd and 4th grade texts"

As we head into Red remember we can take ourselves on a journey!!!

Supporting local is what it is about during these challenging times for small businesses. Help support our KW community!!

A solid literacy program will assess all areas of literacy to best understand how to build it up. Does your child’s literacy programming focus on all the components needed?

Everyday activities and interactions provide rich and varied learning opportunities for young children. As an early intervention provider, I don’t want parents... to think they need to set aside special time to work on certain developmental skills with their toddler. Life provides plenty of teachable moments each day...and helping parents identify those moments is a critical component of routines-based intervention. Engaging and connecting with little ones can happen during the following teachable moments: 1 Social play without objects: peek-a-boo, pat-a-cake, singing, playing chase, hanging out time 2 Toy play: blocks, puzzles, play dough, balls, trains, shape sorters 3 Play-based movement activities: swinging, playing in the backyard, jumping on couch cushions, pushing child in the laundry basket 4 Meal preparation: gathering ingredients, pouring, stirring, measuring, scooping, mixing 5 Mealtime: setting the table, serving the food, cutting the food, passing the food, using a napkin, cleaning up 6 Family chores: taking out the trash, vacuuming, dusting, doing laundry, cleaning up toys, watering the plants 7 Daily routines: washing hands, getting dressed, getting diaper changed, getting the mail, brushing teeth, walking the dog 8 Story time 9 Community outings: running errands, grocery shopping, going to church, going to the zoo, going for a walk, going to the library Visiting friends and family (even if visits are via Zoom for awhile longer!) . . . #cariebertseminars #slpsofinstagram #instaslp #earlyinterventionspeech #earlyintervention #routinesbasedintervention #speechies #slpeeps #ashaigers #speechtherapy #speechpathology

Speak Your Mind is currently seeking a Speech-Language Pathologist to cover a maternity leave position and carry a private practice caseload consisting of children ages 0-12 years for an 8 month period. The successful candidate will be interested in working as a team member to continue to build quality services within the community. Services are provided via teletherapy. This is an ideal position for anyone who has a wide range of pediatric experience, and is committed to providing quality care to the children in our community. We are striving to find a dynamic Speech- Language Pathologist who is engaging, energetic, and has a passion for providing early intervention and school-aged service via a telepractice platform. Working in pediatrics requires this successful candidate to be flexible, creative, curious and enthusiastic.

Our SLP Aren found this beautifully written story through the KPL library. Proud as a Peacock, Brave as a Lion. Written by Jane Barclay. The language used is wonderful and demonstrates how our use of adjectives, metaphors and similes can bring the story visually alive. (For families teaching from home, this aligns with the grade 3-5 curriculum for creative writing) https://www.youtube.com/watch
