Easy Winter-Themed Speech Homework Ideas
Hey speech friend!
Sending homework home over the winter break can be a valuable and effective way to continue progress in speech therapy, particularly for children with articulation disorders such as apraxia or phonological processes.
By providing targeted homework assignments, therapists can ensure that their clients have ample opportunity to practice their target words and improve their speech skills even when they are not in the therapy session.
But how can we do this in a way that doesn't feel boring and mundane? 🧐
One approach to sending homework home is to incorporate interactive and engaging activities that involve color scenes. This not only makes the assignments more enjoyable for the child, but it also helps them retain information more effectively. By using visual cues and interactive elements, children are able to actively participate in their own learning process, enhancing their articulation skills.

Homework assignments can be tailored to each individual's needs and goals. Therapists can provide specific exercises or worksheets that focus on particular sounds or phonological patterns that need improvement. This allows for targeted practice outside of therapy sessions, reinforcing what has been learned during sessions and promoting generalization of skills.
