Younger students require multiple repetitions and attention for articulation and language therapy. Articulation therapy requires students to sit and attend while practicing multiple repetitions with drills. Language therapy requires attention to the speaker and concentration to respond.
When student's body is calm, it helps them focus on other tasks. Allowing the students sensory input from the wiggle seats, and foot boards (and visual input from the mirror), can help them focus on the fine motor of mouth movements and task of listening. Students do not have to be still to learn, they just have to ready to learn.
Building these articulation skills are fundamental for later success with reading (RF.1.2c- Isolate and pronounce initial, medial vowel, and final sounds (phonemes) in spoken single-syllable words). The games are repetitive and quick to help get more repetitions in. The laminator allows new games to be created and sent home to practice outside of speech therapy.
The book set has a repetitive and similar storyline each time. This can help work on listening comprehension, understanding structures of storybooks and build vocabulary (as they can focus on new words without trying to also figure out the storyline).
