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 Students

I am a bilingual SLP in the Bronx NY. Our students need a kinesthetic and fun program to improve their phonemic and phonological awareness skills to improve listening and reading. Many of our students face unique challenges when reading. Yet with targeted interventions and accommodations in reading instruction, they can become proficient readers.

In our school, we serve a unique and multicultural population.

I am a bilingual SLP who works with children ranging from kindergarten through fourth grade who present a range of deficits, especially in reading and literacy. In order to support students’ growth and development in developing reading skills, the SLP implements a reading remediation program and activities during intensive intervention working on the foundations of reading.

My Project

Speech language pathologists can make a positive difference in the life of a child who is at risk for a reading disability or has been identified with a reading disability. Today SLPs play a key role in literacy, collaborating with teachers, providing instruction on phonemic awareness and related literacy skills to special and general education students, and assessing and providing intervention for students with reading and writing disorders. For most students, reading requires systematic instruction. The degree of explicitness and intensity varies from student to student. Students who are experiencing persistent difficulties need very systematic, explicit and intensive instruction that is carefully aligned to their needs. I have requested materials to improve phonemic awareness skills in children such as alphabet paddles, magnetic letters, phonemic and phonological awareness games, word builders, and CD game.

Early intervention with instruction in phonological awareness including phonemic awareness will be likely to lessen or prevent future difficulties students have with reading.

The speech/ literacy program to be implemented will increase phonemic and phonological awareness skills in children and will help with the challenges they encounter with the CCSS. It will encourage students to participate and learn their sounds through motions using different strategies. It will incorporate different types of learning styles. This program will keep students actively engaged in literacy building activities.
