Comprehensive and practical, Learning About Voice: Vocal Hygiene Activities for Children, A Resource Manual is an essential guide to structuring vocal hygiene programs. The authors present numerous useful suggestions and materials that allow speech-language pathologists and teachers to construct and administer vocal hygiene programs. The program can be sued for children across a wide range of ages and is flexible enough to allow clinicians and educators to enhance it with their own creativity and to apply it in a variety of settings. Six stages of the vocal hygiene program are described in detail. In each state, goals are identified, activities appropriate for various ages are outlined, and materials are provided for many of the activities, including reproducible word search puzzles, word scrambles, cartoons, charts, crossword puzzles, poems, short stories and photographs for discussion.
