December Content Updates

Hi Everyday Speechies!

We hope you’re gearing up for some very well-deserved time off! Finish the year strong with our December content updates, including new activities, videos, and games!

Start your holiday celebrations with our new printable gratitude activity, then try some of our new videos and games related to working in groups, advocating for yourself, and keeping conversations flowing.

December is also a great time to reflect on how far your students have come, provide positive feedback, and get them excited to expand their skillset in the new year.
