Speech and Language Therapy

This week in speech we are reading the book Moo Moo Brown Cow.  It is a great book with repeating phrases and animal noises and colors.  We also went on an animal hunt for the baby animals in the story.  They had to find the picture with the right animal and number.  During the story we also worked on describing the animals & answering WH questions about the story.  
Target vocab: duck, frog, pig, cow, sheep, goose, fish, farm, dog, puppy, honk, oink, moo, quack, cluck, chicken, lamb, calf, froglets, chicks, goslings, kids
*This week while in the car point out any animals you see or pretend to be different animals, talk about where they live; if you were an animal what would you want to be & why.   Point out familiar places to the children and what you do there, what you buy, what you see.  Counting is an easy way to work on speech and language with your child. 
Super simple songs also has some great color songs on youtube. 
 We also watched this video about color words and farm animals https://www.bing.com/videos/search?
