Customer Reviews
"Speech Class Rules is a great book which talks about speech and why kids go." – Natalie M., SLP (Jan. 2019)
"On the first day of speech, using Speech Class Rules is the perfect fun getting to know you/teaching speech rules activity." – Meg E., SLP (Aug. 2018)
"Every Speech-Language Pathologist needs to have this book! I will share it with all of my speech students and fellow professionals." – Christine Sumimoto, SLP, Kaneohe, Hawaii
"Your book came today...I love it! It contains more information about the treatment of communication disorders than I thought it would have, but in a simplistic manner that kids can understand and enjoy. I especially liked the discussion questions at the back of the book. This book would greatly benefit regular classroom teachers, special education teachers, and speech-language pathologists who are trying to explain communication disorders and their treatment to elementary school-aged children." – Kalleen Stoddard, M.S. CCC-SLP - SLP and mother of 2, Corvallis, Oregon
"This book should be read to all kindergarten and first-grade regular ed classes. The teachers, as well as the children, would learn what Speech Pathologists actually do. Finally, a simple, well-written and beautifully illustrated story explaining semantic, syntactic, phonological, pragmatic language and voice disorders. Thank you." – Sheri Rosenthal, M.A., CCC-SLP
