76: Social Skills Through Books?! with Kimberley Delude

How do you help your students with their social skills?   My guest, Kimberly Delude, and I are talking all about social skills and how to work on social skills through books in this episode. She is the perfect person to be talking to about this because she actually wrote her own books to help promote language growth and social skills.   Kimberly Delude is a Speech Pathologist in public schools. By day she enjoys helping her students find their voices, while at night she writes. She is the author of two popular series: Freddie the Fly and Fairy Tales 2.0. The former is a series that helps kids learn a variety of social skills through fun lessons that don't feel like learning. The latter is a series of books for at-home practice that parents can easily employ.   We are getting into how to use a book in general in a speech session from start to finish, how to get a better understanding of the things we don’t see, why practice and collaboration are so important for carryover, and more.   Kimberly is sharing endless ideas, insight, and inspiration on incorporating books to work on social skills, and she is also giving away one of her books!
