Although I went to kinder twice, by the time I got to 2nd grade I was more than up to speed that they let me skip 2nd grade altogether. Speech therapy is to get you over that little hump and most of the time the kids really excel. Thank you for sharing your experience. It actually helps reiterate that I'm doing the right thing with getting my son in early for speech if he needs it.Get Busy Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09580717415362212825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2791352477116954691.post-83793278038613100662013-06-21T11:39:57.926-07:002013-06-21T11:39:57.926-07:00To this day, I still say "button, and crayon&...To this day, I still say "button, and crayon" weird. It's pretty bad when my kindergarten students would laugh when I said those words. I would remind them that Mrs. Hermesch has some words she can't say and that's okay...we're all learning. I was lighthearted about it but I would also ask them, "well, how do you say it?" lol. My kinders were giving me a lesson on it tooGet Busy Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09580717415362212825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2791352477116954691.post-15563023560509022652013-06-21T10:04:31.399-07:002013-06-21T10:04:31.399-07:00I took a speech therapy class in 1st and 2nd grade...I took a speech therapy class in 1st and 2nd grade, but still was able to participate in advanced classes in school. I excelled in reading despite my speech problems and by 3rd grade I no longer had to take them. I think my speech classes helped build my confidence at such a young age. It's just a small side detail in your child's life and therapy will help him in so many other ways.Alicia Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09582038411198479737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2791352477116954691.post-83883986395432681462013-06-21T06:35:22.151-07:002013-06-21T06:35:22.151-07:00I was actually in speech therapy from the time I w...I was actually in speech therapy from the time I was in kindergarten until 4th grade. It was through the school, so I had to leave class 2 days a week and it was soooo embarrassing because every one knew where I was going. However, I always did well in school, I went to college and now I am a lawyer. In the end, speech therapy helped me and I so glad my parents made me do it. To this day, I still pronounce some words funny and I really have to pay attention to how I say things and also listen and learn correct pronunciations. So, this might just be a little bump in the road for your kid that he has to get over in order to move on and be successful.<br />Penniless Socialitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05432556140317374393noreply@blogger.com
