What is the episode’s introduction and overall purpose?
Hey everybody, this is Carrie Clark, and you are listening to episode number six of the Speech and Language Kids Podcast. This is the podcast with activities and resources for families of children with speech and language delays and disorders. Today I'm going to tell you about some super fun spring activities that you can do at home that will improve your child's speech and language skills. And in the quick tip, I will share where you can find more fun themed speech and language activities. First let's start off with our news and updates. Today I'd like to talk to you about a new format that I've decided for my podcast. I've just gotten my feet wet here and I'm just getting started, so I only have a couple episodes under my belt, but I'd like to s sort of try to get a format going where every week is a certain topic or a certain um
kind of show. So here's what I'm thinking. So the first week of the month will be an introductory information on a certain topic. Then the second week will be a help, my child is dot dot dot, which will just be a common parent question that I get, uh, that we can really go into depth and tell you how to fix that problem. The week the third week in the month will be a step by step guide to a specific topic, something that my readers are asking about. And then week four will be a fun activity to target a variety of speech and language skills such as today's spring activities. And then if there is a fifth week in the month for those months that we do have that, it will be a answers to listener questions episode.
So if you have any good questions that you are wondering about your child's speech and language development and you'd like me to answer those on the air, please send those questions to me at speech and language kids. Oops, sorry, speech and language. Kids at gmail dot com and I would be more than happy to answer as many of those as I possibly can. Alright, now we're gonna move into the feature segment, our spring speech and language activities. The first one I wanna suggest is working on multisyllabic words, and I wanna do that through targeting bug names. Fortunately, there are a lot of bug names that have three and four syllables in them, and some one and two-syllable ones as well. And since bugs are very springy, we're gonna add that to our spring activities.
Yeah. Children that have speech delays often have trouble with producing three and four syllable words. Those are just really hard for them.
How does the new podcast format structure weekly topics?
They'll either leave out certain sounds or they'll leave out parts of the word. So we want to go ahead and target those and help your child really understand how to use all those parts to the word and all the sounds. And if we can do that, it's really gonna help them be understood better by others. Alright, so in order to do this, we're gonna practice saying those bug names that have a lot of syllables. So what you're gonna need is you're gonna need a poster board or a large piece of paper, or you could do several different pieces of paper. And you're divided you're gonna divide your poster board into four columns. You're gonna have one syllable, two syllable, three syllable, and four syllables. Next, you're going to need some pictures of bugs, and you can find these online.
I like to go to Google Image Search and type in bugs or spring bugs or whatever you want to do, and it'll come up with a bunch of different pictures of bugs for you. So you want to print those off. You can put them into a Word document or paint or something where you can get them the size you want. Then print 'em off and cut 'em all out so each bug has his own little piece of paper. And um you're gonna write the word, the name of the bug underneath it. If you have a child, an older child that's working on this that can already read, you could just write the names on a piece of paper. You don't necessarily need to find the pictures. But if your child isn't reading, make sure you get the pictures so that they can practice saying all those sounds and the parts of the word without you having to tell them what it is first.
