Mrs. Kearney's 2nd and 3rd graders are working hard in their UFLI class. Today we practiced spelling words by changing one letter at a time. The 2nd graders got to come up to the board and show the class how to spell each new word. 3rd Grade got to use their white boards to practice.
Mrs. Noel's reading students are working hard to spell words. This is a tough concept! It involves learning letter names and sounds (phoneme), then attaching them to the letter’s image (grapheme), and then they must learn to blend sounds into words. In this class we’re now building words with 4 and even 5 sounds. Students should feel proud of the work they’re doing!

Did you know that Dr. Capellini works with students as young as 3 that aren't yet enrolled in public school that have speech and language impairments? Come and see the cute holiday happenings in her room. Students are working on labeling vocabulary, requesting items, syllable shapes to form words, prepositions, and verbs all through play! If you have a concern about a younger child (age 2 by September 30th of the current school year), please call 540-825-3677 and request a free developmental or speech and language screening. Guidelines for speech and language milestones can be accessed at https://www.asha.org/public/developmental-milestones/communication-milestones/ Research shows that children who are delayed in speech and language skills and who receive early intervention are more likely to achieve positive outcomes in multiple areas of development.
