A question often asked is “What can I do at home to help grow speech and language skills?”
A great option is to simply talk with your child. Talk about what is in your environment, where it is, what it does, what it’s called, ask questions, and use describing words. This covers so many skills (conversational, sound awareness, vocabulary, and sentence structure to name a few!) and promotes learning in a natural learning environment.
Below is the link to a commercial that ran for a while and is fabulous demonstration of this.

Here are some tips to help families support their child’s speech and language development:
* Talk about what you’re doing, what your child is doing, and what your child sees. Use longer sentences as your child grows older.
* Communicate with your child in the languages that you are most comfortable using.
* Use a lot of different words with your child. Don’t worry about using big words. Children enjoy new and unusual words.
* Listen and respond to your child.
* Help your child listen. Give directions for your child to follow.
* Have your child’s hearing tested if you find yourself repeating a lot or using a loud voice.
* Tell stories to your child a lot. Read to your child as much as you can.
* Ask questions and talk about what happened in the story. Read to your child in the languages they are learning.
* Don’t interrupt your child to correct their speech sounds. It’s okay if your child makes some mistakes with sounds. Say the sounds correctly when you talk.
* Ask questions that need more than a yes or no answer. Encourage your child to ask you questions.
* Set limits for screen time. Use that time for talking, reading, and playing together.
* Don’t wait to get help if you’re concerned. You know your child best. Getting help early can stop later problems with behavior, learning, reading, and social relationships.
