Stop - Comprehensive Beat Sheet

This comprehensive beat sheet has been designed in collaboration with a speech therapist.

This beat sheet can be used to:

• Practise a steady, unchanging beat.
• Feel the rhythm of the song.
• Experience the natural rhythm of language.
• Support students as they establish their speech in controlled patterns.
• Bring focus to rhythm and beat practise or speech practise by keeping time on the beat pictures. The teacher and/or the student can keep time on the pictures as appropriate.
• Singing songs or using rhymes helps students relax while they learn, while the pictures help them focus.
