What a humorous, yet informative way to introduce kids to speech class!,
By A Spade (Virginia Beach,VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Speech Class Rules (Hardcover)
I loved this book!!! I am the mother of 3 children and a former teacher. I would recommend this to everyone. It could be used by parents, speech therapists, teachers and anyone else interested in introducing kids to what actually goes on in a speech class. As a teacher, I watched kids go in and out of my classroom for speech. The other children never understood WHY and even made fun of them for leaving. I wish I could have utilized this book to explain EXACTLY what speech class is all about.
As a parent, all of my kids (8,6 and 2) have enjoyed the silliness of the story...yet I feel they were informed of different special needs some children require. It is a great ice breaker for speech therapists as well. Once kids see how fun and easy the lessons can be-I think their fears about being "different" or being pulled from class, will change.

Speech Class Rules is a very positive and nonthreatening introduction ideal for easing anxiety,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Speech Class Rules (Hardcover)
Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist Ronda M. Wojcicki presents Speech Class Rules: An Introduction to Speech Therapy for Children is a picturebook that teaches young readers about what to expect when attending a class designed to help them with speech/language impairments. "When Felipe started coming to speech class, he talked with a lot of 'bumps'. (That's what Miss W. calls it when he stops in the middle of a word or sentence, or he repeats something). She says that some people call it stuttering. But now he's learning to use 'easy speech' with soft starts and lots of breaths." Speech Class Rules is a very positive and nonthreatening introduction ideal for easing anxiety, and especially recommended for school libraries to help orientate students learning communication skills. The simple illustrations by Loel Barr show the "Speech Class Rules" on the wall: 1) We speak slowly and clearly. 2) We take turns talking. 3) We use soft voices. 4) We do our homework. 5) We respecte each other. 6) We have fun!

It's about time . . .,

This review is from: Speech Class Rules (Hardcover)
Having been in education for over 30 years, I found Speech Class Rules very refreshing. It is about time someone addressed the needs of the elementary speech therapist and those children requiring speech services. An easy read that is both informative and comforting, Speech Class Rules will be a useful tool in any school district. Ms. Wojcicki has written a book that will allay the fears of prospective speech students and their parents.
