Writing Santa letters are a great way for children to practise handwriting skills and build their vocabulary. You can get your children to post their letters off in a special post-box, or even make a beautiful display to show off all their hard work! Here at Bellfield Speech Pathology we encourage play based learning to enhance all skills.

Whilst the holiday is a time full of love and joy, here at Bellfield Speech Pathology, we know that it is a time of year that can also be very overwhelming. As a team, we have created some tips that may be helpful as we enter the festive period.

Keep the conversation going!

The best interactions with children happen during conversations that naturally continue when you follow the child’s lead. To follow the child’s lead, make a comment or ask a question related to what they have communicated. Then pause to give them a chance to respond and keep this going back and forth. Here’s a fun tip to try during daily activities!

Today is International Literacy Day. Literacy, as a basic human right, provides a fundamental step of building context, comprehension, language and understanding, whether it is written, visual or auditory. Since 1967, International Literacy Day (ILD) celebrations have taken place annually around the world to remind the public of the importance of literacy as a matter of dignity and human rights, and to advance the literacy agenda towards a more literate and sustainable society. In celebrating this day, we acknowledge the crucial role in speech pathologists play in supporting people across the lifespan (or throughout their life) with language and literacy skills.
