Summary: 5 Stars
My older children had MAJOR speech issues. I understood them perfectly well, however most other people had difficulty. A speech pathologist tested them and informed me that one $100 session a week would be helpful. Insurance would not pay for it. A friend suggested taking them to the local public school. After more testing, the school speech therapist informed me that in all her years of teaching, no two children ever spoke like mine or made the errors they did. She said it was as if they spoke a foreign language. And so the weekly visits began.
All went well at first as their speech became clearer. My daughter began to complain about going. We kept taking them because they were making improvement. Unbeknownst to me, because I had to wait outside the room, she was telling them they should have learned this by now and why couldn't they get it. She would take phone calls during their time and sighed often. She informed me that Violet needed counseling for her defiance which we did, but the counselor said she was an extremely intelligent perfectionist, and absolutely did NOT need to come back again. Though they had made huge strides in their speech, I pulled them out of therapy because of the attitude of the therapist. She was obviously anti-homeschool in her comments to me and was belitting to the children. Since the therapist informed me Violet would not speak correctly if I pulled her out, how sweet it would be to send her the cd of Violet preaching a sermon at our church.
If only I would have had Super Star Speech then. These are the exact types of games and activities that were done which helped my children. Then, they would not have had to be subjected to the ridicule. Super Star Speech was written by Deborah Lott who holds her M.Ed. in Speech Language Pathology. She did not write this to take the place of speech pathology professionals when their services are necessary. Often children have just a few errors which can be solved with home intervention. And that is the beauty of this book-simple enough for the parent to help their child at home.
The user-friendly book begins with articulation test, directions, and scoring information. Hints on teaching as well as copyable lesson plan sheets to fill in are available. Deborah then gives specific instructions to help guide the parent in teaching their child each problem sound. A listing of 15 speech therapy games and activities help to make the learning concrete.
Dash and Violet's teacher gave them flashcards and had little games for them to play-just like Super Star Speech. One of Deborah's daughters did the artwork for the 240 picture cards which may be copied for use within the home. Other gameboards and worksheets help to make the learning fun, which Deborah emphasizes.
This would have been used extensively in my home and will still be used as a reference for others. I recommend this product, if a parent feels their child may have articulation errors. I was given this product by Super Star Speech as a member of the TOS Crew. I give my honest opinion of the product
Summary of Super Star Speech: Speech Therapy Made Simple
Super Star Speech will teach you how to help your child correct his or her articulation (speech sound) errors. The manual includes an articulation test that will help you identify your child's specific errors and compare his or her speech to developmental norms. Specific instructions for teaching each sound are included, as well as worksheets, games, and 240 picture cards. The picture card pages may be removed from the book for immediate use or may be photocopied onto cardstock for greater durability. Each Super Star manual is priced less than the cost of ONE session of professional speech therapy! To supplement Super Star Speech with even more games and activities, please consider the companion volumes, Super Star R & L and Super Star S, Z, & SH.
