I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS). In December my church makes a special effort to focus on our Savior. Last year the LDS church offered a "Light the World: in 25 ways over 25 days" challenge. My family had fun trying to think of our Savior each day of the month leading up to Christmas. We are excited to begin again this weekend.
Because winter holidays are generally a pretty big deal they are also a great way to work on functional applicable language skills. I have created a calendar for the #LightTheWorld 2017 event based off the one found on lds.org (HERE) that includes ideas of how to apply each scriptural principle to your day. Read through it, you will be amazed at how many activities are based on being able to communicate and use language (spoken, written, and social).
As you begin traditions in your own home this year take advantage of modeling good language skills. Provide examples of more complete sentences, explain how, why, where, when things are done. Explore tastes, smells, how things feel and sound. There is a whole world out there to share with your child this holiday season!
