    FALL

     

    *Fall is a great time of year for language growth.  Some activities that you can do   with your child include:

    *Talk about the weather.  In the Fall, the weather changes all the time.  Talk about what kind of clothing you need when it’s cool, rainy, sunny, hot, windy etc…

    *Take a walk on a trail or even around your town.  Ask your child if he/she can see any changes in the trees. 

    Some vocabulary that you can introduce in the Fall includes:

    Hay             Scarecrow           Harvest                Wheelbarrow

    Gourd         Rake                      Autumn                Turkey

    Pilgrim        Ship                       Feast                     Cornucopia

    *Fall is a great time to review the names of school items. 

    *Fall is also a great time to make things with pumpkins and apples.  Talk to your child about the different parts of a pumpkin or apple. 

    *Jack o lanterns are a great way to teach emotions. 

     

    I will be working on many of these language skills with your child during his/her scheduled speech session.  Make sure to ask your child questions about what was taught.
