🎒✏️ Back to School & Back to Building Communication Skills! 🗣️📚
The backpacks are packed, classrooms are busy, and the new school year is officially underway! 🍎
As students settle into their new routines, there are plenty of simple ways to support speech and language skills at home.
Instead of asking:
❌ “Did you have a good day?”
Try:
💬 “What was the best part of your day?”
💬 “Tell me something that made you laugh today.”
💬 “What was something new you learned?”
💬 “Who did you spend time with today?”
💬 “What are you looking forward to tomorrow?”
Open-ended questions give children more opportunities to practice recalling information, organizing their thoughts, using vocabulary, and having meaningful conversations.
💙 Here’s to a school year filled with learning, growing, connecting, and communicating!
Wishing all of our students, families, teachers, therapists, and school partners a wonderful 2026–2027 school year!
