March 2023 Content Update

Happy March, Everyday Speechies! 

Spring is just around the corner and we have a plethora of brand new materials that we can’t wait to share with you! Let’s take a look!

This month, we are adding more materials to our Professional Skills goal. For these new materials, you will find a new high school video and a new activity that will help your learners navigate challenging customers and successfully collaborate with their co-workers. We are also adding new Cyber Skills materials! This includes a brand new game called “Escaping Cyber City” where your students will practice their knowledge, understanding, and application of important Cyber Skills while having fun! You will also find two new videos and one new interactivity activity on Cyber Skills that teach concepts like emailing teachers and avoiding miscommunications over text. 

Additionally, we are adding to our growing library of Self-Esteem materials. This includes two new videos and a new interactive activity where students will learn how to be their own decision makers and how to speak up for themselves at school! 

And, of course, we have a brand new spring-themed activity where your learners will have the opportunity to practice asking and answering “WH-questions” (who, what, where, when) with adorable spring critter finger puppets. 

You can learn more about all of our new materials below!
