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.
