Mrs. Jennifer Roderick
Speech Language Pathologist

Hi! I'm Jennifer Roderick. I am a licensed Speech Language Pathologist at Prairie School. This is my third year in the district and my second year at Prairie School. I graduated from University of Illinois with a Bachelor's degree in Speech and Hearing Science. I graduated from Saint Xavier University with my Master's degree in Speech Pathology. Thanks for visiting my webpage!
Children who practice at home generally make quicker progress in speech. Below are some suggestions for speech and language practice.
Speech Sound Practice
- See how many objects you can name that start with your speech sound.
- Draw a picture of an object that has your speech sound. Talk about your drawing.
- Talk with a parent or read aloud from a book. Have a listener help you focus on your speech sounds.
Language Practice
- Interview a parent or friend. Practice asking and answering "wh" questions.
- Help expand your student's vocabulary by labeling objects or talking about what you're doing when completing tasks.
- Work on vocabulary and following directions by completing a craft.
- Play and read together! Both are fun ways to practice language skills.
