Following on from Monday’s Speech and Language advice I have included ideas on how to support your child with speech sounds. This was shared on the NHS Lothians Speech and Language Therapy on Facebook.

Please see below ideas and suggestions from NHS Lothians for you to use with your child to help support them with their speech sounds:
- Hide objects or pictures in a sensory box (a box filled with feathers, leaves, popcorn kernels, ripped up paper etc) – every time your child finds an object/picture they should practise saying the word.
- Use any fun turn-taking game – every time your child takes a turn they should practise a word.
- Take turns naming a picture and then posting the picture into the box
- Take turns to throw a bean bag/ball into a box, choose a picture/object from the box and practise the word.
- For all these activities you can use objects around the house or cut out pictures from magazines/newspapers etc, that begin with the sound your child finds difficult.
Please use the comments box if you have tried any of these ideas and let us know how you got on.
Have a great day everyone,
Mrs Docherty
