Take a peek at our SLPA professional development day! 🧠🤩

The team spent the morning learning about how to support PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS (P.A.). It’s not just rhyming and counting syllables, P.A. is learning to hear and work with sounds in spoken language, important skills for language and reading development.

Our SLPAs tested their knowledge with an outdoor rapid fire quiz, created new lesson plan ideas, and shared how targeting phonological awareness skills influences their day to day treatment.

🌟 Send us a message or leave us a comment if you’d like resources or more information about how you can support your child’s phonological awareness at home! 🌟

You may have heard the term “learned helplessness” (otherwise known as prompt-dependency). At From Play to Words, we see this not as a child issue (not a learning issue or a learner issue) — but a support design issue.

When adults talk children through every step of a task, we can accidentally become part of the routine. Too much verbal prompting can overwhelm, interrupt thinking, and teach kids to wait for cues instead of noticing what’s around them.

Instead of talking more, we can support intentionally & with purpose:

Build routines &
- Use gestures instead of words
- Set up materials in start-to-finish order
- Use visuals like picture recipes or schedules

These “quieter” supports help children stay engaged, think for themselves, and build confidence — without pressure.

Less talking. Better design. More growth.
