Summer Speech FUN!

Summer time and the livin’ is easy! Do you hear a melody for those words in your head? It’s an old song, but a great one.

And here are some GREAT ideas for summer-themed speech & language products and activities.  For those of us who work in the schools, a much-needed summer break is coming soon. However, many parents, teachers and other staff members express concerns at this time of year. What are those concerns? Most them have to do with kids forgetting or regressing in terms of the skills they have learned in speech this year. What can we do? We can send home homework. We can send home calendars with suggested activities they can do at home. 

Wait, some of us actually WORK in the summer! What about US? We need fun, summer-themed activities to do with kids, too.

Below you will find a list of great products you can use or send home with your students. I have grouped them into categories by age/grade for you to make your shopping easier. A brief description and a link to the product is listed below each category.
