How are you Jenna.Ĭarrie: Good, I’m excited to have you on. I am your host Carrie Clark with and I’m here today with Jenna Rayburn with Speech Room News. To beat the overwhelm, we’re bringing you the tricks and tools that will make your job a little bit easier.Ĭarrie: Hey everybody welcome to the Speechie show. Welcome to the Speechie Show! Being a speech language pathologist often means having too much work and not enough planning time. So once you slide the tongue depressor or the blade on there, the light just stays on. You put the tongue depressor on and it works. So I’ll have one for myself, and one for the kid, and we can swap out the base. So for /k/ and /g/, I’ll have it in my mouth… And they make disposable that you can attach. I don’t have to have a separate pen light. It’s way better than the cherry-flavored tongue depressors, way better! What I usually do is a bring a puppet, like a dinosaur puppet, and I have the kiddo do it so they can see what we’re going to do… So then I’m not just attacking them with the light saber. Can’t you see my palette, isn’t that awesome?Īnd it looks like a Light Saber, which makes every kid willing to do it. This is something I’ve been using with my /k/ and /g/ kids – actually all my kids – it’s one of those great ‘As Seen On TV’ things! It was made in Australia by a mom. I hear a lot of people complaining about those ones. Today we’re talking about the tricky /k/ and /g/ sounds and eliciting /k/ and /g/.
