Mrs. Amy Peacock

Hi! Speech Families,

This will be my 8th year at SJES! I am married with two sons. One is in college and the other one serving in the US Marines. We also have a dog named Harvey. I enjoy photography, digital scrapbooking, yoga, cooking, baking and going to the beach.

My SpeechTherapy Mission is to help each student develop to their fullest potential in the area of communication (including all aspects of speech-language: articulation, phonology, fluency, voice/resonance, vocabulary, morphology, syntax, pragmatics etc.) by providing quality evidence-based speech therapy services tailored to each student's need.

Welcome Brittni Rogers, a speech therapy graduate student who will be joining me this year from August 28th-Decemvber 16th. She is studying to become a Speech-language Pathologist at Calvin Univeristy. She is excited to be working with our students under my clinical instruction and supervision.

Please contact me by phone or email anytime with questions about speech-language. Also, see the helpful resources!

Speech Classroom Wishlist: tissues, hand sanitizer, 70% rubbing alcohol, small prizes for prize box. Teacher-Pay-Teacher or Amazon gift cards always useful and appreciated!

Looking forward to a great year in Speech!

Mrs. Peacock

Remember for Articulation (difficulty saying a sound) mastery follows these steps:

Your student should know which step they are on. If what you are working on is too difficult, go back a step.

1. isolation (ex. say the sound ex. r)

2. syllables (ex. ray, ree, rye, row, rue, air, ear, ire, or, oor)

3. words (beginning, middle, end ex. run, earring, wear)

4. phrases (I ran. Her earrings. Wear a hat) You can use any word list to make your own short 2-3 word phrases.

5. sentences (I went for a run today. She has beautiful earrings. I can't find my slipper.) You can use any word list to make your own 4 or more word sentences.

6. reading (notice your sound when you read aloud a story/paragraph) if it's a worksheet from teacher you can underline all of the r's on the page then read it.

7. structured conversation (when asked to: speak on a topic, tell a story, answer a question, describe something) search for some conversation starter questions see link below.

8. unstructured conversation (spontaneous general everyday conversation) It has become a habit to say the sound correctly they don't even think about it anymore!
