CUBS Expectations

Students and staff members work hard each day to be good CES Cubs! We all follow the school expectations: Caring, Use Safety, Be Responsible, and Show Respect. 

CUBS expectations are incorporated into every aspect of our day!

Speech & Language Development

Welcome! I am Belinda Boeshore, A.K.A. “Ms. B.”, the Speech Language Pathologist at CES.

Tips for Speech and Language Development

Articulation: The typical progression of sound development (please keep in mind, we all learn in

different ways and at different rates):

  • Producing sounds in isolation
  • Producing sounds in the initial position of words, final position of words, medial position of words (in that order)
  • Producing sounds in phrases
  • Producing sounds in sentences
  • Producing sounds in conversational speech/connected speech

To Promote Language Development

  • Introduce new vocabulary from books, stories, pictures, family trips
  • Use photos from birthdays and/or family trips to form sentences
  • Ask questions (who, what, where, when, why, how)

For Dysfluency

  • Encourage the student to slow down and think about their answer
  • Encourage the child to take a breath before talking
  • Try not to interrupt
  • Try not to finish their thoughts for them

For Voice

  • Encourage the student to drink a lot of water
  • Not to scream or yell
  • Not to speak in silly voices

Overall Communication Development

  • Using objects, gestures, pointing, picture symbols, pictures, verbalizations, and/or handover-hand assistance are helpful for children to learn ways to communicate with the world around them
  • Model, Model, Model what you want them to learn, say and do! The little ones learn from what they observe and hear!
