Children often have social studies, spelling or math homework on a daily, if not weekly basis. Why? Because educators know the importance of reinforcing difficult concepts outside of the classroom is just as important as inside. Further, this can help involve parents in the process. Speech therapy<\/a> should be thought of similarly. Although a specific skill might be taught in a structured lesson during the day doesn\u2019t mean it can\u2019t be reinforced outside of therapy as well. \u201cHomework\u201d<\/a> might not be graded but the idea is the same; children should take home speech sound targets or techniques for activities at home not only to improve but to involve parents in as well.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Make a folder, book, box or other consistent means of organizing and sharing speech homework for each child on your caseload. Children like objects. Something to call their own, get invested in, be responsible for and usually, to decorate. Why not create a special \u201cspeech folder,\u201d \u201cspeech notebook\u201d or \u201cspeech box\u201d for the child\u2019s target sounds and activities? This can travel home nightly or on weekends and include a section for children and parents to initial or mark to indicate they\u2019ve done the work. First, it\u2019s important to involve the child in the process by letting them decorate and assemble the tool. Then, provide high praise and rewards for returning and maintaining it \u2013 stickers work wonders!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Inside the speech activity book or box, create the following with the child:<\/p>\n

1.)\u00a0\u00a0 The target sound(s) in articulation therapy or new words from language lessons. Draw it, doodle it, spell it out.<\/p>\n

2.)\u00a0\u00a0 Target words. What are they working on?<\/p>\n

3.)\u00a0\u00a0 Tips and tricks. What reminders have you given the child about that sound and the placement of their articulators?<\/p>\n

4.)\u00a0\u00a0 Carryover activities or specific tasks, progress notes or pages to share with parents.<\/p>\n
