"This study is one of the first to closely examine the relation between physical activity and word-learning abilities in children as young as 3–6 years of age.

Results align with previous findings stating that aerobic exercise can boost vocabulary learning and suggest that this is the case regardless of existing language skills."

🆓 #OpenAccess #Babbling & early speech in Extremely Preterm Infants aged 1;0 differed significantly from a ref group of TD infants aged 0;10. No difference in presence of oral stops was found b/n the groups, but the EPT group had a significantly lower proportion of infants with CB and smaller consonant inventory. These differences were found even though the EPT infants were 2 months older than the infants in the ref group. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02699206.2022.2160658

Hey @wespeechies! Why is a speechie a speechie and not speecho; a truckie a truckie and not a trucko; a wharfie a wharfie and not a wharfo? Whereas, a garbo is a garbo and not a garbie; an ambo is an an ambo and not an ambie; a muso is a muso and not a musie, and a milko is a milko and not a milkie. And what about mozzies, sunnies, trackies, pommies, and of course, Aussies?

Brekkies, barbies, mozzies: why do Aussies shorten so many words?

Colloquialisms such as barbie and smoko are like accents – part of the glue that sticks Australian English speakers together.

Visual tools can transform virtual instruction - Vivido

I was chatting recently with a fifth-grade teacher I’ve gotten to know through several of our trainings and workshops. I mused that the switch to online teaching last year must have wreaked havoc on her planning. “Not really,” she said. "I used…

Hi #SLP_SLT people! It's 59 days since I began posting from this Mastodon handle and I'm missing the #SLP / #SLT camaraderie and pace of the birdsite. Maybe things would rev up somewhat if colleagues

Without organization, writing isn't writing. It's a muddled up mess. So why isn't organization showing up on "the lists" -- or being explicitly taught in more schools?

A former colleague sent me an article the other day asking for my thoughts. The article, something along the lines of Reasons Kids Can’t Write and What to Do About It, was similar to others I’ve come across. The text started with…
