Of course, May is also Better Hearing and Speech Month! I thought I'd share a few activities that I'm doing at my school. Have a looksy!

First, I created a little "Did you know" wall in the main entryway at school, since I didn't have much bulletin board space to work with. I just printed out some interesting stats and cutesied them up, then attached them to the wall with teacher tape.
Next, I made several bookmarks that include tips for teachers on articulation, language, fluency, and hearing loss. I plopped these in the teacher's lounge free for the taking!
You can make some of your own too! Just download this printable freebie HERE, punch a hole in the top, and attach ribbon or yarn. I had a lot of yarn on hand, so I just used that.
Lastly, I found some oh-so-fabulous free printables from Heather's Speech Therapy. You should totally head over to her blog and check them out. So fun!
I attached her vocal hygiene printables to tiny water bottles and will put them in the teacher's boxes for a little treat.
I also printed the noise-induced hearing loss printable to little baggies of ear-plugs to put in the their boxes for next week.
I hope my teachers like some of these fun tips! Anyway, what do you think? How are y'all celebrating Better Hearing and Speech Month??
Hi Lauren,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your websites and as a new SLP could not have made it through my first year without it! I love the bookmarks you made for BSHM and thought they would be a neat back to school treat for the teacher at my school. Is it possible to get them without the "BSHM" references? I am happy to pay for them. Thanks! Kim Jerrehian,Palmyra, PA
