Description

In this episode, we’ll talk about my personal journey and the valuable lessons I learned when I first started working with older speech students. From understanding the pivotal role of language comprehension in reading success to the game-changing power of building genuine rapport,  join me as I share my secrets to successfully working with older speech students and revolutionizing your approach with the knowledge I wish I had from the start.


Here’s what we learned:

  • Using materials that match students' independent reading levels rather than their grade levels.
  • How to boost students' confidence by initially removing the reading barrier.
  • Guidance on when to continue speech therapy versus allowing students to participate in their regular classroom environment.
  • The superiority of fostering intrinsic motivation over-relying on external rewards such as prize bins.
  • Effective methods for teaching unfamiliar vocabulary and the balance between using games for engagement while ensuring educational value.
