Shared book reading (a fancy term for reading a story together and talking about the pictures, ideas, and sounds) is a valuable speech therapy tool. With The Lost Christmas, we targeted working memory, sustained attention, describing, and lots of /s/ and /l/ practice. A huge thank you to the Seattle American German School for welcoming us into their space and partnering with us to support these amazing learners. We love working with local schools!

This “L story” was a perfect fit for one of our early readers who loves to draw! We circled all the L words, read the story together, and then she illustrated and retold it in her own words. Such a fun way to work on literacy, speech sound production, and executive function skills all at once! 📚
