My Project

Please give my elementary students the gift of their voice and the ability to express themselves and be understood by others. The materials I've selected will help children learn skills to improve their specific speech and language needs. I've chosen materials used by myself and other speech and language providers for years, they are tried and true and will be utilized daily. Students will use the Super-Duper Sequencing Verb Tenses Combo materials, CVC Word Games, flash cards and other materials to make speech and language practice more effective and engaging.

Your support will have a lifelong impact on my students.

These materials will be used by students in grades K-6 at multiple schools in Arizona. You will be helping students improve their articulation, language, literacy, and social skills. Your voice is a powerful thing, help children develop theirs.
