Please find below an EXCELLENT powerpoint presentation designed to help parents with developing their child’s speech sounds.
We know that this is a really important development area for children and can be tricky to know what to do if your child is having speech sound difficulties.
You will need to download the powerpoint to be able to hear the clips. Viewing the powerpoint is not enough and will not let you access the ‘voice over ‘ sections. All children from P3-7 can access Microsoft Office for free by downloading it through GLOW.
