Welcome to our Speech Therapy Activity Page! Mrs. Baker and Mrs. Goodeve are working together to create fun speech-based activities just for you! These are some of the skills we work on in speech sessions and we are doing our best to provide speech activities that are easy for you to follow along with at home during this school closure period. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to either Mrs. Baker or Mrs. Goodeve by using the remind app that you are already in contact with us on, or you can always email us.

Have your child drag the verb onto the arrow to complete the two sentences-Yesterday I... and Today I...Then click submit.
(i.e. eat- Yesterday I ate. Today I eat.)
Read the directions aloud. Then, drag the items to the right person. Make sure you do both parts of the direction and click submit.
