Speak To Me Kids

Pediatric speech, language and feeding therapy At 'Speak To Me Kids' our philosophy is for our clients to become the best they can be.

This is accomplished through collaboration between the Speech Language Pathologist and the parents/caregivers. We believe in a flexible, accommodating environment which enables our clients to achieve to the best of their ability. Each child is seen as an individual with his or her own strengths which will be utilized to improve his or her weaknesses. Our goal is always achievement beyond expectations.

With these cold temps our families are spending more time indoors! Let’s talk about Early Literacy and Winter Words! ❄️☃️❄️

Winter is the perfect time to build rhyming, alliteration, and phonological awareness skills with your little learners. Try using fun winter words like snow, sled, scarf, frost, mittens, or blizzard to play with sounds!

Try at home:

❄️Clap out syllables in winter words: “mit-tens,” “snow-ball”

☃️Make rhyming pairs: snow → go, sled → bed

❄️Play alliteration games: “Silly snowmen slide slowly”

These activities help children hear and manipulate sounds, which is key for reading and speech development!

Vowel of the week: /a/

Short A

Sound → “ah” as in cat, bat, and map

Mouth → open, jaw drops slightly

Duration → quick and short

Long A (says its name!)

Sound → “ay” as in cake, rain, and play

Mouth → opens and then slightly closes

Duration → held longer than short A

Fun idea: Make a “rainbow /a/ path” and hop along saying each word!

Happy Groundhog Day!

Whether the groundhog sees his shadow or not, it is a great day to talk about predictions, seasons, and routines with your little learners. Repeating activities (and words!) is how big communication skills grow—no shadow required.

A great read for this weekend and the week ahead here’s our pick for : Story of the week!

Today, we are celebrating the start of February with “Groundhog Gets a Say” by Pamela Curtis Swallow.

Why we love it for speech and language:

🦫Supports vocabulary related to seasons, weather, and animals

🦫Encourages predictions and cause-and-effect reasoning

🦫Great for practicing wh-questions and story sequencing

Try at home:

🦫Pause to ask your child to predict whether Groundhog will see his shadow

🦫Act out the story using toys or simple drawings

🦫Talk about seasons and what changes we notice from winter to spring

Vowels

After exploring all our consonant sounds in our “Sound of the Week” series, we’re diving into vowels!

Vowels are the heart of every word, and this series will cover:

Short vowels → quick, simple vowel sounds…think of the word “cut”

Long vowels → vowels that “say their name”….think of the word “mate”

Diphthongs → two vowel sounds that glide together in one syllable….think the word “boy”

We will explore each vowel in detail with practice words and playful activities to help kids strengthen their speech skills.

Get ready for vowel fun and speech practice that is easy to do at home!

We are offering telehealth / virtual sessions for families who would like to keep their appointments or we’re happy to reschedule in-person sessions for later in the week.

Sound of the week

This week we’re focusing on the tricky /r/ sound—one of the most common sounds kids target in speech therapy!

Did you know there is more than one type of R?!This is why we call it tricky!

💬 Initial /r/ → at the beginning of a word or in a blend (rabbit, great)

💬 Vocalic /r/ → after a vowel (bird, fork, car)

Why /r/ is so tricky:

🗯️ The tongue must be curled or bunched in the back—placement matters

🗯️ It sounds different depending on word position and the vowel that shapes it

🗯️ It is a shaped sound that takes time to master

Tips and strategies:

Auditory awareness → listen for /r/ in books or songs

Tactile cues → use a mirror to check tongue placement; tongue up and slightly back

Repetition and fun games → use word lists or tongue twisters

Incorporate play → make an /r/ scavenger hunt

Short, consistent practice (5–10 min/day) is best.

Celebrate every attempt—progress comes with practice!

Meet our January Speech Stars!!🌟

Meet Ely!

Ely has been receiving speech therapy services at Speak to Me Kids since 2022 and has been working with Ms. Amanda since 2023. Ely communicates using a customized AAC device that includes all of his favorite people and things.

Ely has been making steady and meaningful strides in using his AAC device to express himself. Whether he’s using his device to request his favorite Mr. Potato Head or confidently ending each session with, “I want to go with Mom Mom,” he continues to show just how much of a star he is!

Ely is also showing strong skills in scanning his device and accessing icons in a meaningful way. Ely is now recognizing and flying through familiar tasks, while demonstrating a wonderful willingness to try new things.

What truly stands out is his joy and connection. After each task, Ely proudly looks between Mom Mom and Ms. Amanda with a big smile on his face, sharing his excitement and pride in his hard work. We are all incredibly proud of his effort, determination, growth, and most importantly, he should be proud of himself for a job well done.

Keep up the amazing work Ely, you are a true star! ⭐

Meet Nash!

In May of 2025, Nash began his speech therapy journey at Speak to Me Kids. He and Miss Stefani formed an immediate connection bound by a love for music and understanding. When he first started with Miss Stefani, Nash was learning to navigate his AAC device to increase his initiation and communication. In the months that he has been attending speech therapy, Nash's language skills have begun to soar. With an increasingly personalized AAC device, Nash is able to formulate sentences to ask for what he wants and make comments. He specifically loves to ask "I want pirate", because anything pirate themed is his favorite at the moment! He is expanding his vocabulary to talk about all of his favorite things including songs like "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "Ring Around the Rosie". He is even beginning to utilize his AAC device to answer "who", "what" and "where" questions. And that's not all….Nash is starting to imitate verbal approximations and is filling in "ready, set, go". He is truly a rockstar and Miss Stefani is constantly moved by his motivation and persistence. All of us here at Speak to Me Kids can't wait to see everything that Nash will accomplish!

Keep up the hard work Nash! We can’t wait to see how far you’ll go!! 🌟

Mr. Potato Head isn’t just a classic toy—he is a speech and language superstar!

Kids can practice:

🥔 Following directions → “Put the hat on his head.”

💬 Vocabulary and naming → nose, ears, eyes, mouth, etc.
