We are four letters in: O, B, X, and S. Which brings us to Week #5; a week with a holiday (Labor Day), and for some no therapy. School starts this week for many area schools. Seems like a good time to pause and review.

To flow with conversations you are probably already having with your young ones, our theme this week is school and our letter, ‘s’.

I found a super cute craft turning an ‘x’ into a pirate. And pirates have the whole “x marks the spot” thing (not to mention those cross bones that look like an ‘x’). And who doesn’t like pirate play?

The lips are doing the work to make this sound. The lips are closed and then pop open as we force a burst of air out. ‘B’ is a noisy sound (we turn on our voice – vocal cords vibrate – to make this sound).
