What resources can I share with parents to build vocab at home?
It’s a great question and it comes up a lot.
Unfortunately, it usually comes in the form of “What app can I use to build my child’s vocabulary”?
My response is usually that the best way to build your child’s vocabulary is not through an app.
BUT… This year is a bit different.
We’ve all had a little more screen time than normal, and some of us are just hanging in there!
Which is why I wanted to revisit this conversation and share some simple things you can do to help build your students’ vocabulary, including:
…How to approach it in your therapy sessions.
…What you can suggest for parents to do at home.
…Where apps and technology fit into the puzzle when it comes to building language skills.
I explain more about how to do this in this video:
In the video above, I mention my free online training where I talk through an evidence-based language therapy framework for building vocabulary and comprehension.
In this training, I’ll cover:
1. The top mistakes EVERYBODY makes when it comes to language therapy, and WHY they are confusing your students and burning you out.
2. The SECRET I used to get BETTER RESULTS while doing LESS WORK that’s allowed me to help my students make major breakthroughs, while working a full-time SLP caseload and starting a business.
3. My evidence-based framework for creating a “domino effect” that will amplify your language therapy, and help you break through language therapy plateaus without spending hours planning or doing research.
