My Project

In most of my speech therapy sessions, you will find me and my students diving into a good book. I love watching my students develop a love for reading and stories while working on language skills, practicing speech sounds, and discussing social communication.

I have chosen a variety of books and games that I know will engage my students and help them grow.

I have also requested some fun and engaging games for my upper elementary students. Games are the perfect way to teach language skills and life lessons such as sportsmanship. I have chosen a variety of strategy games that will motivate my students and increase their speech and language skills.

This library of books and games will provide my students with a love of learning and a fun way to work toward their goals.
