General Ideas for Home Practice
-Play board games: Guess Who, Scattegories, and Apples to Apples Kids are some of my favorites!
-Read books: talk about the pictures, describe characters, label objects, predict what will happen next
-Clean and Organize: put toys into groups (categories), sort groceries, sort laundry
-Follow Directions: try a new recipe, learn to fold laundry, make your bed
-Low-tech games: play "hang-man", I spy, We're going on a picnic (say an item that starts with the letter of the alphabet (apple, banana, cat), and try to remember all of the items before yours)
-Have a conversation and ask thoughtful questions (see prompt ideas below)
-Articulation students- look for your sounds in books, assignments from your teachers, movie titles, video games
