Speech & Language Enrichment for Early Learners
​
We’re excited to welcome Sprinkle of Speech back to Next Generation Academy for another wonderful year of learning and growth!
Sprinkle of Speech is a fun, play-based speech and language enrichment program created by Selina Fowler-Patrick, M.S. CCC-SLP, a local, school-based speech-language pathologist. This unique program supports early communication and literacy development through engaging stories, visuals, and hands-on activities designed for preschoolers.
​
Each week, children participate in a 30-minute small-group session focused on improving:
​
-
Speech sounds and articulation
-
Story comprehension, sequencing, and retelling
-
Vocabulary and grammar development
-
Answering WH-questions
-
Social communication skills such as turn-taking and perspective-taking
-
Phonological awareness and early literacy readiness
​
This program is ideal for typically developing children as well as those who may benefit from extra communication practice, no diagnosis or evaluation required. Every family receives follow-up materials and activity suggestions to continue reinforcing skills at home.
​
When: Mondays at 9:00 a.m.
Cost: $24 per lesson ($79/month)
Ages: 3 and up (children age 2 may participate at parent’s discretion)
