School-aged Artic Websites

Especially for School-Age Children
These websites contain activities and games that are especially appropriate for children in grades K-5.
Quia Games
The following Quia games and activities have been created by speech-language pathologists and speech
and language specialists across the country. They include opportunities for articulation practice as well as
work on language elements such as vocabulary, figurative language, synonyms, antonyms and phonemic
awareness (pre-literacy). Quia games require Java to run. When using these games, it is important to
encourage children to verbalize the words for oral practice.
