My Students
As a second year speech therapist in a low income/high poverty school my students are faced with many challenges in and outside of the classroom. They are growing up in a variety of settings and situations that makes it difficult for them to succeed in school. In addition many of them require special education services due to their learning challenges. Given the many challenges they face in their education and in their community I would like to give them meaningful opportunities to gain strategies and improve their goals through a variety of differentiated therapeutic approaches to improve their overall academic success and socialization. My students are eager and motivated to learn given the appropriate learning tools and instruction. They benefit from repetitions and they require a multi modality approach to learning information. These materials would allow my students to improve their skills inside and outside of the classroom environment. By providing them with a variety of approaches my students are motivated to practice and carry over their skills into the classroom setting.
My Project
I am Speech Language Pathologist for Pre-K-5th grade in New York City. I am in need of more speech and language games and materials for my students to improve their recognition of letters and sounds, vocabulary, writing skills via a variety of graphic organizers and workbooks to practice these skills at home. I try to use materials that are free and low cost from a variety of sources such as blogs, pinterest and teachers pay teachers. However, my students need more activities and games that are fun and engaging! They are more motivated to learn while having fun in speech and respond better to tactile and kinesthetic learning activities such as Bingo, Guess Who?, Headbandz, roll a dice games, language cards and a mystery box to work on inferencing.
I am asking for a variety of tools such as games, workbooks, cards and toys to help my students learn using their learning style.
These tools would help them access language and the curriculum in the classroom, at home and in the community. My students need help with areas such as inferencing, listening comprehension, phonological awareness, writing and organization, vocabulary, following directions and expressive language.
Providing and supporting my students with these games and workbooks will allow them to work on their speech and language goals while enjoying themselves in speech therapy. Given these skills are difficult for many of my students, these activities would help my students and motivate them to practice their speech and language goals in a fun and engaging way as well as reduce the pressure of academics from elementary school and stress from within their communities.
