Are you having to cut therapies for your children or stopping travelling to therapies as a result of the current price of petrol and cost of living?

Let’s talk about it in the comments.

There’s opportunity here to build something better than what we currently have.

Because I for one, know that I can’t continue on the way I have been, and I’m sure there’s plenty more like me out there.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas - let’s chat in the comments.

They might be a little weird… but they work 🙌

Everyone is busy, which doesn’t leave much time and energy for speech practice.

But it needs to happen to make progress, so how do we make it work within our lives?

Hooking practice onto existing routines and activities is my favourite tip.

Times to do this include:
đź‘„ teeth brushing times
đź‘„ story times
đź‘„ play times
đź‘„ walks together
đź‘„homework times
đź‘„ meal times

I have video courses to show you exactly how to do this, to make your practice effective and make sure everyone enjoys themselves and makes progress (no refusals or meltdowns).

My Read it, Say it course is on a back to school sale for 50% off, this week only.

In it, I show you how to improve your child’s speech and literacy skills during daily book reading.

Reading one book a day together CAN make a difference to your child’s speech clarity.

To get the discount code and a link, comment with your child’s favourite book and I’ll get it right to you.

This is how I’d improve a child’s speech over the school holidays (as a Speech Language Therapist with 20 years experience working with children.)

First I’d find out which speech sounds they need help with by using the free speech sound screener (comment if you’d like the link to download it.)

Then I’d choose one sound to target that day.

Then I’d pick a game or activity that I know will contain lots of opportunities for the target sound to be said. You can get ideas for each consonant sound from a handout I’ve created that’s available in my speech sound handout bundle and in my Play to Say course (drop a comment if you’d like the links to these).

Then I’d join the game and use it as an opportunity to model the speech sound lots of times. This helps to build a correct representation of the sound in the child’s brain.

I’d occasionally ask them to give it a go. I’d praise them for trying, and I’d praise them if they said the word clearly. This helps them to want to keep trying.

You can see an example of how I do this with a child receiving speech language therapy from me, as well as get lots of ideas for games and activities for each speech sound in my Play to Say course - available to purchase from my Speech Teacher Website.

Grab it now, and confidently improve your child’s speech through play these school holidays.
