2 Dear Parents, We have been working very hard on your child s communication skills during this school year. It is important for your child to practice throughout the summer break in order to maintain the progress he or she has made so far. I have included a calendar filled with activities for you to work on with your child this summer. There is also a list of super fun websites and apps that are great for finding additional pictures or games that target your child s communication goals. Please work with your child to complete as many of these activities as you can during the summer months. They are all very quick, and should be able to be completed in 20 minutes or less. You can complete the activities as your schedule permits. Most of all, have FUN this summer! Thanks for helping your child! Speech-Language Pathologist Communication is a skill that you can learn. It s like riding a bicycle or typing. If you re willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of every part of your life. - Brian Tracy
