A long time ago I saw this statement written in a book I was reading. And it changed everything for me! This simple yet very powerful statement changed how I now view the letters and sounds so I wanted to share it with you all as well. It’s important that we do not start with teaching the letters but teaching the sounds and how they are represented in writing to develop the correct awareness that letters really do not make sounds, animals make sounds!- But letters represent the sounds in print, they bring the sounds to life so we can also visually perceive them. Letters are therefore sound symbols🤩

Did you know that speech is a fine motor movement that is audible? Remember, what happens in the body, happens in the mouth as well. If your child is struggling with fine motor skills, it is important to also look at their speech skills.

Happy Mother’s Day to all our amazing moms out there! I am sending you a lot of love and strength today as we continue to advocate for our children to ensure they receive the right support they need to thrive 💕It is never easy, and as our to-do lists grow, and as we spend our “mother’s wellness day” cleaning and taking care of our family, we must remember that we matter, and what we do for our children matters, even if we don’t see the results right away!
Thank you to my son Liam- you made me a mom and thanks to you I became stronger because you needed me to advocate for you. Thanks to you, I became an SLP because you needed someone competent to support your communication on a daily basis! Thanks to you I am now helping other families, making them stronger in their fight for their children’s rights. A big shout out to all the incredible moms out there advocating for their little ones! Your love, strength, and persistence help change the world!
