STORYTIME
We think that one of the best ways to bond with your child, teach vocabulary, talk about a shared interest, and increase attentiveness to language is through reading stories with you child. At the right, there are links to videos of some of the stories we may use in therapy. Follow up with your home program work, or check out some new stories, to continue language learning in your home. These links are not intended to infringe on any type of copyright. The intention is to give busy families a means to quickly access quality stories to view in the home with their children and for families to build, or enrich, language skills and to share in a love of reading together. |
