Speech & Language with Mrs. Bilo

Hi North Beverly Families!

I hope that you are all staying healthy and safe during this challenging time. I will miss working with my students, and I'll be looking forward to getting back to normal as soon as possible. In the meantime, here are some links to speech and language activities that you can check out at home to support your child's communication development:

• https://www.superduperinc.com/freestuff/calendars/SuperDuperSpeechCalendar.pdf (Check out June!)

• https://www.storylineonline.net/ (Listen to your favorite actors read popular children's books, and then discuss the stories with your child.)

• Tracy Boyd’s Online Language Games: www.quia.com/pages/havemorefun.html

• www.mommyspeechtherapy.com has free word lists/picture pages for students who are working on their speech sound production

• www.teacherspayteachers.com Speech and Language Home Suggestions for Emergencies for SLPs *FREEBIE*

• https://www.thespeechexpress.com/blog/activities-for-speech-and-language-practice-at-home

• https://docs.google.com/document/d/117XEcLTFAilMr9_CqFQZo2uYSizb3GtLBWgrdsXvj04/edit?usp=gmail&ts=5e72259f Zones of Regulation information

These are just some ideas to help keep your child thinking about and practicing their communication skills while they're away from school, but they are not meant to replicate or replace your child's therapy sessions. It's also important during this time to just engage in fun conversations (FaceTime a friend or grandparent), play board games, and read together.

If you have questions about your child's specific therapy goals, please e-mail me at lbilo@beverlyschools.org. Also, please reach out to me if your child needs support to access their academic assignments. I will be happy to answer any questions that you may have. Take care! I'm thinking of you all!!
