Looking for ideas to practise your child’s speech and language skills at home? Then look no more! See below 5 home-based, no/low cost activities that will improve your child’s communication skills within the comfort of your home! The best part is that you do not need to buy any expensive resources or toys. You just need a bunch of household items and help with how to use them.
Free Speech Therapy? Yes, Please!
Free Speech Therapy? Yes, Please!
IMPORTANT: Apart from household items, you do need a particularly important tool, YOU! You will use your own language and knowledge to enrich your child’s speech and language skills by modelling key words, engaging in joint learning opportunities, and making new discoveries. One thing we know for sure is that; the more language a child has exposure to, the better they can imitate and learn new skills.
VERY IMPORTANT: These activities can be used with all ages (scroll all the way down for the Age Code) and are important for supporting their learning, having fun, and building engagement! They are not exams or tests of your child’s skills. So, try to avoid asking your child too many questions or forcing them to follow your lead.
