  Although, we may still be wearing boots and sweaters in the middle of May warm weather is near.  As the school year ends and summer approaches, words like swimming, lemonade, fire flies, ice cream, picnics, and camp come to mind.  For some of us these words may trigger fond memories of our favorite summer or for others it may trigger questions (i.e. What are our summer plans?).  While families are busy figuring out summer schedules, children are anticipating their last day of school.  In the mix of all the commotion, there are  many opportunities to continue to build your child’s speech and language skills.  Journals can be used to build language skills, such as keeping a summer word journal.
