Reading opens worlds to our children that they might never know, building perspective skills, increasing vocabulary and language skills, and expanding their imaginations. Many libraries offer summer reading challenges, but we challenge you as parents to create your own! You know your child's reading level. Create a special incentive and, based on your child's reading skills, set a goal.

Some sample goals might be:
*read 30 books to parent for the beginning reader
*read 5000 pages for the pretty good reader,
*read 10 books of given genre to the avid reader who is stuck in the same type books
*let me read 60 books to you for the not-yet reader.
* 5 family chapter book read alouds

Let us know how you inspire a love of reading with your children!

Communication impacts every aspect of your child's life. It helps him/her build relationships, learn academics, ask questions, discover the world. When communication doesn't come naturally, it can be frustrating for the child and the parent. Let us help!

Does your child already receive speech therapy at school but would benefit from continuing services over the summer? Or would you like to begin speech therapy services to grow communication? Contact us now!

Spending time in nature and interacting with animals can naturally support the development of communication and attention skills. Outdoor environments tend to reduce stress and sensory overload, helping children feel calmer and more ready to engage. Animals, in particular, create meaningful, low-pressure opportunities for interaction—encouraging children to use language for commenting, questioning, and connecting. These experiences also promote joint attention, as children focus on shared activities like observing, feeding, or playing. Together, nature and animals provide a motivating, hands-on context that strengthens listening, language use, and sustained attention in a way that feels enjoyable and authentic.

Is your 5-7 year old child beginning to learn to read or perhaps struggling to do so? Reading is an element of language that is the foundation of learning. At Speech Path & Pastures we want to help your child find joy in learning how sounds go together and in the stories that these sounds can create. We'll use movement to engage all parts of the brain making this great also for any child with attention challenges.
