Give Me 10 Time
This
week in speech therapy we are reading The Little Blue Truck. It is a fun
rhyming book with lots of farm animals. Rhyming books often create a nice
rhythm. Using music and rhythm can be an important tool for children with
delayed language. Through rhythm and rhyme, children can learn a slower
and more rhythmic rate of speech that can support more intelligible
communication. So this week, turn on the music and spend some time
marching and clapping to the beat. To extend play with the book more,
here are some animal pictures. Model the actions as well as the animal
sounds. See if your child will imitate. Can you and your child make
up actions for other animals?
Chop like an alligator
Shiver like a polar bear
Hop like a bunny
Pounce like a cat
Peck like a chicken
Chew like a cow
