As the days get colder and the season grows festive, children can enjoy hands-on activities that spark both creativity and communication. By using strategies like narrating, recasting, and expanding introduced in our last post, parents and educators can turn everyday moments into meaningful learning experiences.

From crafting and cooking to storytelling, these winter activities give children many chances to learn new words, build sentences, and share their ideas while having fun.

Be sure to check out the poster below for suggested activities and tips to support language skills.

Wishing you and your little learners a warm, joyful, and inspiring winter season!

May is Speech & Hearing Month. Speech-Language & Audiology Canada (SAC) dedicates the month of May to raising public awareness about communication health. The 2025 theme, “S-LPs & Audiologists: Doing More Than You Think”, highlights the vital yet often overlooked role of S-LPs and audiologists. From helping stroke survivors regain speech to supporting those with tinnitus, these professions provide life changing care.

In schools, S-LPs work with students to strengthen their communication skills — from building speech sounds and language to developing social communication and supporting alternative ways to communicate. By partnering with students, families, and school teams, S-LPs help students build confidence and succeed both in school and in everyday life.

This month, let’s recognize the power of communication and the many ways it helps us connect, learn, and grow.
