The book tells the story of Laney Lynn and her graduation from speech class. Along the way Ms. Wojcicki addresses issues and questions that may trouble children in need of speech help. It's a positive, heartening tale that stresses the lifelong importance of speech therapy. Who can benefit from this book?--any child taking speech class, their parents, and the waiting room of every RiteCare clinic! (SBM)"-Scottish Rite Journal
"Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist Ronda M. Wojcicki presents Speech Class Rules: An Introduction to Speech Therapy for Children is a picturebook that teaches young readers about what to expect when attending a class designed to help them with speech/language impairments. "When Felipe started coming to speech class, he talked with a lot of 'bumps'. (That's what Miss W. calls it when he stops in the middle of a word or sentence, or he repeats something). She says that some people call it stuttering. But now he's learning to use 'easy speech' with soft starts and lots of breaths." Speech Class Rules is a very positive and nonthreatening introduction ideal for easing anxiety, and especially recommended for school libraries to help orientate students learning communication skills. The simple illustrations by Loel Barr show the "Speech Class Rules" on the wall: 1) We speak slowly and clearly. 2) We take turns talking. 3) We use soft voices. 4) We do our homework. 5) We respect each other. 6) We have fun!"-Midwest Book Review

"Speech Class Rules, an illustrated children's book by Ronda M. Wojcicki aims to demystify the speech therapy experience for children of elementary school age. The straightforward story and the charming illustrations make this book informative and engaging, and could make a very effective tool for children about to begin speech therapy in a school setting, as well as for their parents (who tend to be a lot more nervous than their children about the prospect of speech therapy!).
This book is recommended reading for any elementary school-aged child about to begin speech therapy, but it can also be useful as an awareness-raising tool for family members, classmates, and teachers working with children who receive speech therapy services.
Here's an idea: if you have a child receiving, or about to receive, speech therapy services in school, buy a copy of Speech Class Rules to read with your child, and then donate it to your child's classroom or school library."-Speech-Language-Development.com
