Welcome to Mrs. Lepisto's Speech and Language site!

Welcome to my blog! This is the place to come to find out what is happening in speech and language at Wilson School! Along the left side there are useful links and tips for you to practice speech and language skills at home. I will post a question of the month to use as a springboard for discussion at home. On the right side of the page is a list of other speech and language blogs I follow. You may find other helpful information on these blogs too.

1st Quarter 2011-2012 School Year

Today is the end of the 1st quarter of the 2011-2012 school year! Wow, time sure flies! I am going to try to post a question of the week or an idiom of the week (such as "time flies") each week, as well as periodically posting updates about what is happening in speech and language at Wilson.
I have added many new links and home practice activities, as well as some of the speech/language blogs I follow. Please check them out!
