Homework time

I have been struggling with the fact that I do not send homework home with my students (besides a few of my severe speech kids who get minimal pair sets sent home occasionally). I think it's important to carry-over good speech and language skills at home, and I want to give parents the tools to do this! However, having the time to get together homework for 42 students who all have different goals was a daunting task to say the least.

Then, and SLP friend told me that she sometimes does calendars, with different speech and language activities on the calendars for each week. They aren't specific to each child, they are just general skills that would benefit a wide range of students. This sparked my interest, and after some successful googling actually found an SLP's website with these calendars already created! Sweet! Parents choose two activities per week (they look to take only about 5 minutes) and initial when they have completed them. After getting together folders and parent instructions, I have sent these home with my K-2 language students.

Next on my list is to work on calendars for my older language students and articulation students.
