Promoting Speech and Language Skills at Home: 

• Model correct speech sound usage and language to your child 
• Gain your child’s attention prior to speaking to them and ensure you are giving your child your attention when they are speaking to you 
• Help your child learn new vocabulary words by talking about things and what they do (i.e. “this is your nose - we smell things like flowers and food with our nose”) 
• Sing simple songs and nursery rhymes with your child 
• Engage in fun activities such as baking or making a sandcastle and talk about the steps required 
• Play games such as iSpy to work on building descriptive language 
• Help your child learn to follow directions by giving them simple multi-step directions to complete around the house (i.e. “go to your room and bring me your folder”) 
• Talk about where things are using words such as “under”, “behind”, “next to”, etc. 
• Talk about opposites and similarities
• Give your child choices (i.e. "do you want to wear your red or blue shirt today?") 
• Show your child pictures of familiar people/places and talk about what they see

I am so excited to work with your child to improve speech and language skills! Please feel free to contact me with any questions!
