Message From Speech Therapists

This week in speech and language therapy we are talking about our super power- talking-and how we can all be superheroes by using our words.  We will be talking about how superheroes move and where they live.  We are also reviewing the rules so we can be safe, respectful, and responsible.  I encourage you to take at least 10 minutes a day to play and work on language skills with your child.  This week, pin on towels for a capes and pretend to be superheroes.  Talk about how superheroes might move.  Do they hop, fly, swim, run, etc.?  Make up your own superheroes and practice moving like they would.  For example, “I am Superbird and I fly.”  You could also play Superhero Mother May I.  Adapt this traditional game by having the participants as questions such as, “Mother, may I fly like a superhero.”  The mother then says, “Stop” when she wants the participant to stop.
