"Who knows the bells that are planted in you? Maybe 19 or 102. Before you were born you were fitted & packed with all kinds of wonderful...that is a fact!"
@HCDSB_SLPs_CDAs are honoured to work with students. You amaze us every day with what you have learned & how you have grown!

Words fail me when I try to express how grateful I am to work alongside the SLPs and CDAs @HCDSB. They are extraordinary in their commitment to their students and passionate about infusing their work with our core philosophy that "communication is connection".

Sound blending is a critical skill for early reading success. Get out your magnifying glass and listen for mystery words. This is a great way to practice sound blending!

Reading together provides a wonderful opportunity for building language and literacy skills. Snuggle up and read together on this rainy day. Try listening for rhymes in your favourite books. Make up your own rhymes too. @HCDSB_SLPs_CDAs #playwithsounds #communicationisconnection
