Kindergarten parents will receive feedback from Speech Pathologist, Ms Jenni O'Neill, during Week 5. A report outlining the results of the assessments conducted during Summer Term and subsequent recommendations will be provided. Parents are invited to follow up with their child's class teacher if there are any concerns.
Ms O'Neill refers to the Hanen Centre® which promotes language, social and literacy skills for children. The following article discusses strategies to help develop children's vocabulary: Shoot for the SSTaRS Strategy.
Parents are encouraged to: talk often with their child/ren; play various categorising, sorting and matching type games; and read and listen to their child/ren read daily.
