Being an avid reader all my life, I have always incorporated books into my homeschool. We often do literature based theme units and crafts, and it seems we always have (way too many) books checked out from the library. Earlier this month, I took a new Speech Pathology job that allows me to see clients, supervise Speech-Language Pathology Assistants, and contribute to the company website. For my first post with them, I wanted to share with parents just how easy it is to use books that you already have to help promote your child’s speech and language skills!
Books can be a wonderful way to help support your child’s speech language development. Reading to your child, even if you feel they aren’t paying full attention to the story, helps foster language and literacy skills while building vocabulary and joint attention. Books that offer repetitive sentence patterns on each page help improve speech automaticity, while rhyming books help increase phonemic awareness.

(If you are a child of a parent with special needs, or just want more information on child development, gross/fine motor skills, and more, be sure to bookmark the Theracare blog. Posts are written for parents by OTs, PTs, and SLPs (like me!).

I got to this link by the “What to include in your homeschool documentation binder” on this organize you homeschool page. This is lonked wrong on the back-end of your site.
Have a great day! love the site.
Thank you for letting me know! I will see what is up and try to fix that link!
