Home/School
Connection

|
Each child has a Speech Homework Folder.
Assignments are given for students to practice the articulation
sound or sounds they are working on. This is to provide
them with extra mass practice in the home setting to help
establish carry-over of those sounds on a consistent basis
in their conversational speech. There is a designated spot
for a parent signature on the assignments and a date that
the assignment is due.
