I send home speech homework once a week (another post on
homework coming up soon). Sometimes it can be hard to find language homework,
especially for my little ones. Earlier this year I started making a language
guide for each month to send home and the parents seem to like it. The guide
gives the parent language ideas and topics to discuss with their child as they
do everyday activities instead of sitting down and completing a worksheet. Hopefully
if it fits into their busy schedules they will make time to do it!
The guides suggest things such as categorizing the food you see in your kitchen (fruits, veggies, meat), or comparing and contrasting the weather. I encourage my parents to
keep the paper up on the fridge all month as a visual reminder. It has worked
great for my pre-school and Kindergarten students.
To get the October and November language guides for free go here. To get the entire 12 month set, a blank guide, as well as a parent letter
from the SLP or classroom teacher go to my TPT store. Let me know what you
think!

I love it! I know a few families who would use these if I sent them. I've done something similar in the past for a full month, but that's a lot of work to think up something different for each day. I like the use what applies today feel of the ones you made.

Ironically I also made a 12 month guide for language HW and posted it on the same day as you! ;) great minds....
ReplyDeleteDid my previous comment work? The "prove you aren't a robot" is way too hard for me. I think I must actually be a robot since I can never read that thing! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Rebecca!
ReplyDeleteCC great minds do think alike! And no worries, I have the same trouble with being a robot! Can't tell you how many times I have had to re-enter numbers and letters!
