Speech & Language - Mrs. Maria Twaddle

Welcome to Speech and Language classes. Small groups meet once or twice a week to work on improving specific articulation/speech skills. Other groups meet to work on reading/language skills.

I also meet with kindergarten, first and second grade classes for the TALK program. TALK is a weekly, 30- minute program, which emphasizes listening, auditory processing, and vocabulary development, all of which are essential in developing reading, receptive and oral language skills. Another component of TALK is an introduction to Spanish vocabulary, simple phrases and sentences. The children of St. Agnes are always excited about learning Spanish names for colors, numbers, animals, family names, months, days of the week and much more.
