• HOME PRACTICE
    Home practice is given on an as needed basis specifically tailored to each student's needs. Students who have speech folders can review and practice the papers they have collected in their folders. That is why I ask that all speech papers are kept in the folders for the year. They can be used to practice over the summer but they can also be used now to review and practice during this current situation. Remember to feel free to color these pages. I love to see my students' creativity.
     
    Here is a list of web resources that you can use for review and practice as well.
