Join us at Recess Play Cafe (208 South Ashley St) in a 6 week series of immersive and hands-on read aloud activities, aimed to foster a love of books, boost early language skills, and provide families with practical tips for teaching early communication skills at home. All activities are led by a listened speech-language therapist and incorporate evidence based speech-language acquisition strategies. Activities are designed for babies who are not yet talking, but are exploring communication through coos and babbles, ages ranging from 3-10 months, accompanied by their grownups.
Note: these book clubs are designed to be accessible to children with a variety of learning profiles, but your child does NOT need to have a language delay to attend. They are open to ALL children and parents who have an interest in learning how to incorporate books into daily routines.
EACH WEEK:
Introduction of a new story within a lively read aloud experience.
Guided play routine incorporating the vocabulary and sounds from the story, a natural opportunity to mix tactile sensory input and movement into the language learning.
Thoughtfully designed handouts for continuing the themed literacy, speech and language activities at home.
Opportunity for question/answer with the SLP during & after the session.
Bring your own favorite toy/book/video from home to receive guidance for how to use it to effectively model language.
Option to purchase a play pass with Recess Play Cafe before/after the book club.
Snack and Beverages available for caregivers to purchase from Recess Play Cafe.
A portion of the proceeds from every book club directly goes to support local access to AAC devices (see “Pay if forward” for more details about your contribution).
