📚✨ Helping Your Child Build Strong Literacy Skills ✨📚

Do you want to support your child’s reading and language at home? Here are some simple do’s and don’ts from our speech pathologists 👇

✅ DO:
💬 Read together every day – even for 10 minutes!
🤔 Ask questions like “What might happen next?”
🎵 Play with sounds – rhyme, clap syllables, find words that start the same.
📖 Talk about the meaning of stories, not just the words.
💗 Celebrate effort, curiosity, and progress!

🚫 DON’T:
❌ Correct every mistake – it can make reading stressful.
❌ Skip reading together because your child can “read alone.”
❌ Rely only on screens or apps – real books + conversations matter most.
❌ Compare your child’s progress to others – every child learns at their own pace.

Building literacy starts with small, consistent moments of shared reading and conversation 💬💫

📞 If you’re concerned about your child’s reading or language skills, our team at Mosman Language & Learning Centre can help!

🏠🐷 Why The Three Little Pigs is Perfect for Building Speech & Language Skills

This much-loved story isn’t just entertaining – it’s a goldmine for supporting your child’s communication and literacy growth. Speech pathologists often use it because:

✨ Repetition boosts learning – The repeated lines (“I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house down”) help children predict what comes next, join in confidently, and strengthen sentence structure and vocabulary memory.

✨ Story sequencing – The clear, repeated events make it easier for children to retell the story in order.

✨ Vocabulary building – Words like straw, sticks, bricks, and chimney introduce new concepts in a meaningful context.

✨ Inferencing & problem-solving – Children can think about what the wolf might do next and why the pigs choose certain materials.

✨ Speech sound practice – Perfect for targeting /p/, /h/, and /b/ in a fun, natural way.

🗣 Tip for parents: Pause during the repeated lines and let your child say them with you – repetition helps information stick and builds confidence in speaking.

📖 Why The Snail and the Whale is a Speech & Language Gem 🐌🐋

We love using The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson in speech pathology sessions – and here’s why it’s fantastic for building your child’s communication skills:

✨ Vocabulary growth – Rich, descriptive words like glistening, towering, and shimmering introduce new language in context.

✨ Rhyming & rhythm – Perfect for developing phonological awareness, a key early literacy skill.

✨ Story sequencing – A clear beginning, middle and end helps children practise retelling stories in order.

✨ Complex sentences – Exposure to longer, more descriptive sentences supports listening comprehension.

✨ Social-emotional learning – Themes of bravery, problem-solving, and friendship spark conversations about feelings and empathy.

🗣️ Tip for parents:
✨ Story sequencing – A clear beginning, middle, and end helps children practise retelling stories in order.

🗣️🎯 "Wabbit" instead of "rabbit"? "Fumb" instead of "thumb"?
It’s totally normal for young children to make speech sound errors — but if those sounds stick around longer than expected, a speech pathologist can help! 💬✨

We support speech sound development by helping children:

🔤 Learn how to say sounds correctly (like “r”, “s”, “th”)
🐍 Say 'snake' instead of 'nake' or 'sake', or 'car' instead of 'tar', or 'shoe' instead of 'sue'
👂 Hear the difference between similar sounds
🧠 Understand how sounds work together in words
🗣️ Practise clear speech in fun and engaging ways

When kids can speak clearly, they feel more confident in class, in friendships, and in everyday life. 💛

Whether it’s a lisp, a sound delay, a phonological delay/disorder, or difficulty being understood — we’re here to help your child become a clear and confident communicator! 🌟

🕵️‍♀️🟦 Guess Who? A Game… and a Speechie Favourite! 💬🎉
Who knew this classic game is secretly packed with language-learning power? (We did! 😉)

Here’s why Guess Who? is more than just fun — it’s brilliant for building speech and language skills:

👂 1. Listening & Comprehension
“Does your person have glasses?” — Kids have to listen carefully and process yes/no questions to play! 👓✅❌

❓ 2. Asking Clear Questions
Players practise using full sentences and specific describing words:
“Is your person wearing a hat?” 🎩🧠

🧠 3. Describing & Categorising
Talking about features like hair colour, accessories, or clothing builds vocabulary and categorisation skills. 🟡👱‍♂️🧥

💬 4. Sentence Structure Practice
Every turn gives kids a chance to practise complete sentences and conversation-style language:
“I think your person is Sam!” 🙋‍♂️

🤝 5. Turn-Taking & Social Skills
Waiting, listening, responding — all great for conversation and classroom readiness!

🎉 Pro tip: Let your child be the question-asker AND the guesser — that way, they get double the language practice!

🧠✨ Let’s Talk TIER 2 Words!
(aka the golden words your child needs to grow their vocabulary and succeed at school!)

Not all words are created equal! When speechies talk about Tier 2 vocabulary, we’re talking about the juicy, powerful words that help children understand stories, ask questions, and express BIG ideas 💬📖

💡 So what exactly are Tier 2 words?

They’re:
✅ More sophisticated than everyday words
✅ Found in books and classrooms
✅ Useful across many subjects
✅ Great for comprehension and expressive language!

🌟 Examples of Tier 2 words:

Instead of look → observe 👀

Instead of ask → request 🙋‍♀️

Instead of happy → delighted 😄

Instead of help → assist 🤝

Instead of big → enormous 🐘

📚 Why do Tier 2 words matter?

Because they:
🔹 Help children understand more complex stories
🔹 Build confidence in speaking and writing
🔹 Set the foundation for success in school
🔹 Make your child sound like a little word wizard 🧙‍♂️✨

💬 Speechie Tip:
Pick one Tier 2 word each week to use at home — talk about it, act it out, and make it fun! You’ll be amazed at how quickly it sticks!

🤱💛 World Breastfeeding Week 2025
🗓 August 1–7
🌍 Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures

This week, we join WHO, UNICEF, and health professionals around the world to celebrate breastfeeding as a powerful foundation for lifelong health, development, and equity. 💬👶

💡 Breastfeeding isn’t just natural — it deserves ongoing support.
Families need access to skilled advice, supportive environments, and clear information to breastfeed for as long as they choose.

✨ Why breastfeeding matters:
🧠 Boosts brain development
💬 Supports oral motor and early communication skills
🏥 Lowers healthcare costs
🌍 Strengthens communities and economies

As speech pathologists, we understand that feeding is more than nutrition — it’s also about connection, communication, and healthy development from the very start. 💛

🗣️✨ Does your child have amazing ideas, but struggles to express them clearly?
They might need support with their expressive language skills — and that’s where speech pathologists can help! 💬💛

Expressive language is how children use words, sentences, and grammar to share their thoughts, ask questions, tell stories, and interact with others. 🧠📝

Here’s how we support expressive language development:

🧠 Helping children find the right words to express themselves
🗣️ Building sentences that are clear and grammatically correct
📚 Expanding vocabulary and descriptive language
📖 Supporting storytelling and narrative skills
🤔 Improving clarity in explanations, conversations, and classroom tasks

Strong expressive language skills are key for confidence, friendships, and success at school — and we love helping kids become confident little communicators! 🌟

📚👀 Why Flap Books = Language Gold!
(Spoiler: It’s more than just peekaboo fun 😉)

Flap books aren’t just exciting — they’re packed with speech and language opportunities! 🎉

Here’s why we LOVE using them in speech therapy:

👶 1. Engagement + Surprise!
The “lift and reveal” keeps toddlers curious and involved — perfect for keeping little ones focused and having fun! 🎁

🗣️ 2. Boosts Vocabulary
Each flap hides something new to label: “dog!”, “banana!”, “peek-a-boo baby!” — So many chances to learn new words! 🐶🍌👶

💬 3. Encourages Repetition
Kids LOVE reading flap books over and over — and repetition helps language stick! 🧠💬

❓ 4. Builds Comprehension
“Who’s behind the door?” “What’s hiding in the box?” — Great for questions, predicting, and cause-and-effect thinking! 🧩🗃️

🧏 5. Supports Turn-Taking & Interaction
Take turns lifting flaps and making comments — this builds early conversation skills in a playful way! 🤝📖

🌟 Speechie Tip: Go slow, wait for your child to respond, and let them “find” the word or object — it’s all about interaction, not just reading.

Flap books = fun AND language development in one! 💛📚

📚💬 Why Reading with Your Child is Speechie Magic! ✨

Did you know that reading books is one of the BEST things you can do to support your child’s speech and language development? 🧠💛

Here’s why we love books (and you should too!):

👂 1. Builds Listening & Attention
Books help little ears learn how to focus, follow a story, and listen to new ideas. Great for prep before school! 🎓

🗣️ 2. Grows Vocabulary
Books introduce words you don’t use in everyday conversation — like “enormous,” “jungle,” or “flutter.” The more words they hear, the more they learn! 🐘🦋🌳

💬 3. Boosts Sentence Structure
Hearing well-formed sentences over and over helps kids learn how to build their own. Storybooks = grammar gold!

📖 4. Supports Storytelling Skills
Books teach beginning, middle, and end — helping kids learn how to tell their own stories and understand others’. 🌟

👩‍👧 5. Builds Connection & Confidence
Snuggling up with a book means bonding time AND language growth. It’s the coziest kind of learning ❤️📚

🎉 Speechie Tip:
Don’t worry about reading the words perfectly — talk about the pictures, act out the story, and let your child turn the pages. It’s all about interaction, not perfection!
