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.

Microsoft Office 365 – Glow Connect

Speech Sounds Training for Parents – with voice clips – North East collaboration

Reminder that we use EducationCity. The children have their login details and can go on to access a variety of interactive games. The site has information available for parents –
