Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Awareness of basic linguistic concepts is essential for success in school as it forms the foundation for comprehension and effective communication, yet some young children struggle to learn and differentiate various linguistic concepts. Repeated practice is the key, but they often lack patience.

Young children need to learn basic linguistic concepts while having fun!

Lakeshore Positional Words Resource Box comes with cute manipulatives and cards that show directions. This will allow my students to increase their understanding of spatial concepts as they move the objects around. Similarly, Lakeshore Color Discovery Boxes will teach children qualitative concepts of color as well as spatial concepts as the objects could be put in the boxes, on top of the boxes, in front of the boxes, behind the boxes, or next to the boxes… The possibilities are endless.

These materials will help me provide fun and engaging speech therapy activities embedded with basic linguistic concepts. Thank you for considering a donation to this project. Your support will have an immense impact on my students’ academic success in school!
