Self-Monitoring Speech



As we approach the end of the school year, many speech students are focusing on carryover skills. They are practicing using their clear speech in non-therapy situations. When speaking outside of speech class, they are encouraged to keep these ideas in mind to improve their speech:






I can think about:



Which words have my sound?



Which words were difficult to say?




How can I improve my speech?

ISAT Week March 5-9

Students will not be pulled for speech/language therapy during their ISAT testing periods.

Due to the ISATs, many teachers assign less homework this week than usual. It is a great time for students to review speech and language skills or visit some of the speech websites on Mrs. DeYoung's web page. Children who do not have therapy this week are especially encouraged to practice their skills at home!


Reminder: Parents may still sign up for conferences with Mrs. DeYoung: online http://www.SignUpGenius.com/go/20F044DA5A723A64-spring, email mdeyoung@ccsd66.org, or call (630) 783-5157.


Have a great week!
