Speaker of the Week

Speaker of the Week is another fun addition to our preschool schedule. Beginning next week your child will be scheduled for two or three consecutive days to be the Speaker of the Week. (Depending on whether your child comes two or three days) 

When your child is the Speaker they can bring something from home that they can talk about to the class.  Oral language development is a very important skill to develop and taking a turn at being The Speaker of the Week is the perfect opportunity for your child to organize their thoughts and articulate in organized fashion (think beginning, middle and end) information that is significant to them.

Topics for this activity can include any of the following:

A favorite toy

A picture of a vacation

Description of a favorite hobby

Demonstration of a skill (playing an instrument, preparing a recipe, building something etc…)

Pets

Family members can come in and be introduced   

Reading a book (can be memorized)

When your child is not the speaker they will have the opportunity to ask the speaker questions learning the difference between a story and a question.  

The Speaker of the Week Schedule will be posted separately,
