🌱 What Research Says About Early Intervention

Research consistently shows that early intervention in speech and language therapy leads to better long-term outcomes for children.

🧠 Brain development:
The early years (birth–5) are when the brain is most flexible and rapidly developing. Studies show that children’s neural pathways for speech and language are easier to shape at this age (Kuhl, 2010).

💬 Communication growth:
Children who receive early speech and language therapy make faster progress and are more likely to catch up to peers in language and literacy skills (Law et al., 2017).

📚 School readiness:
Early support has been linked with improved reading, learning, and social participation at school (Roberts & Kaiser, 2011; Wake et al., 2013).

❤️ Confidence and connection:
Getting help early doesn’t just improve skills — it helps children feel more confident expressing themselves and connecting with others.

When children get support early, they can build strong communication habits that last a lifetime.

✨ Don’t “wait and see” — early help is the best help.

📚✨ Helping Your Child Build Strong Literacy Skills ✨📚

Do you want to support your child’s reading and language at home? Here are some simple do’s and don’ts from our speech pathologists 👇

✅ DO:
💬 Read together every day – even for 10 minutes!
🤔 Ask questions like “What might happen next?”
🎵 Play with sounds – rhyme, clap syllables, find words that start the same.
📖 Talk about the meaning of stories, not just the words.
💗 Celebrate effort, curiosity, and progress!

🚫 DON’T:
❌ Correct every mistake – it can make reading stressful.
❌ Skip reading together because your child can “read alone.”
❌ Rely only on screens or apps – real books + conversations matter most.
❌ Compare your child’s progress to others – every child learns at their own pace.

Building literacy starts with small, consistent moments of shared reading and conversation 💬💫

📞 If you’re concerned about your child’s reading or language skills, our team at Mosman Language & Learning Centre can help!

🏠🐷 Why The Three Little Pigs is Perfect for Building Speech & Language Skills

This much-loved story isn’t just entertaining – it’s a goldmine for supporting your child’s communication and literacy growth. Speech pathologists often use it because:

✨ Repetition boosts learning – The repeated lines (“I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house down”) help children predict what comes next, join in confidently, and strengthen sentence structure and vocabulary memory.

✨ Story sequencing – The clear, repeated events make it easier for children to retell the story in order.

✨ Vocabulary building – Words like straw, sticks, bricks, and chimney introduce new concepts in a meaningful context.

✨ Inferencing & problem-solving – Children can think about what the wolf might do next and why the pigs choose certain materials.

✨ Speech sound practice – Perfect for targeting /p/, /h/, and /b/ in a fun, natural way.

🗣 Tip for parents: Pause during the repeated lines and let your child say them with you – repetition helps information stick and builds confidence in speaking.

📖 Why The Snail and the Whale is a Speech & Language Gem 🐌🐋

We love using The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson in speech pathology sessions – and here’s why it’s fantastic for building your child’s communication skills:

✨ Vocabulary growth – Rich, descriptive words like glistening, towering, and shimmering introduce new language in context.

✨ Rhyming & rhythm – Perfect for developing phonological awareness, a key early literacy skill.

✨ Story sequencing – A clear beginning, middle and end helps children practise retelling stories in order.

✨ Complex sentences – Exposure to longer, more descriptive sentences supports listening comprehension.

✨ Social-emotional learning – Themes of bravery, problem-solving, and friendship spark conversations about feelings and empathy.

🗣️ Tip for parents:
✨ Story sequencing – A clear beginning, middle, and end helps children practise retelling stories in order.

🗣️🎯 "Wabbit" instead of "rabbit"? "Fumb" instead of "thumb"?
It’s totally normal for young children to make speech sound errors — but if those sounds stick around longer than expected, a speech pathologist can help! 💬✨

We support speech sound development by helping children:

🔤 Learn how to say sounds correctly (like “r”, “s”, “th”)
🐍 Say 'snake' instead of 'nake' or 'sake', or 'car' instead of 'tar', or 'shoe' instead of 'sue'
👂 Hear the difference between similar sounds
🧠 Understand how sounds work together in words
🗣️ Practise clear speech in fun and engaging ways

When kids can speak clearly, they feel more confident in class, in friendships, and in everyday life. 💛

Whether it’s a lisp, a sound delay, a phonological delay/disorder, or difficulty being understood — we’re here to help your child become a clear and confident communicator! 🌟

🕵️‍♀️🟦 Guess Who? A Game… and a Speechie Favourite! 💬🎉
Who knew this classic game is secretly packed with language-learning power? (We did! 😉)

Here’s why Guess Who? is more than just fun — it’s brilliant for building speech and language skills:

👂 1. Listening & Comprehension
“Does your person have glasses?” — Kids have to listen carefully and process yes/no questions to play! 👓✅❌

❓ 2. Asking Clear Questions
Players practise using full sentences and specific describing words:
“Is your person wearing a hat?” 🎩🧠

🧠 3. Describing & Categorising
Talking about features like hair colour, accessories, or clothing builds vocabulary and categorisation skills. 🟡👱‍♂️🧥

💬 4. Sentence Structure Practice
Every turn gives kids a chance to practise complete sentences and conversation-style language:
“I think your person is Sam!” 🙋‍♂️

🤝 5. Turn-Taking & Social Skills
Waiting, listening, responding — all great for conversation and classroom readiness!

🎉 Pro tip: Let your child be the question-asker AND the guesser — that way, they get double the language practice!

🧠✨ Let’s Talk TIER 2 Words!
(aka the golden words your child needs to grow their vocabulary and succeed at school!)

Not all words are created equal! When speechies talk about Tier 2 vocabulary, we’re talking about the juicy, powerful words that help children understand stories, ask questions, and express BIG ideas 💬📖

💡 So what exactly are Tier 2 words?

They’re:
✅ More sophisticated than everyday words
✅ Found in books and classrooms
✅ Useful across many subjects
✅ Great for comprehension and expressive language!

🌟 Examples of Tier 2 words:

Instead of look → observe 👀

Instead of ask → request 🙋‍♀️

Instead of happy → delighted 😄

Instead of help → assist 🤝

Instead of big → enormous 🐘

📚 Why do Tier 2 words matter?

Because they:
🔹 Help children understand more complex stories
🔹 Build confidence in speaking and writing
🔹 Set the foundation for success in school
🔹 Make your child sound like a little word wizard 🧙‍♂️✨

💬 Speechie Tip:
Pick one Tier 2 word each week to use at home — talk about it, act it out, and make it fun! You’ll be amazed at how quickly it sticks!

🤱💛 World Breastfeeding Week 2025
🗓 August 1–7
🌍 Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures

This week, we join WHO, UNICEF, and health professionals around the world to celebrate breastfeeding as a powerful foundation for lifelong health, development, and equity. 💬👶

💡 Breastfeeding isn’t just natural — it deserves ongoing support.
Families need access to skilled advice, supportive environments, and clear information to breastfeed for as long as they choose.

✨ Why breastfeeding matters:
🧠 Boosts brain development
💬 Supports oral motor and early communication skills
🏥 Lowers healthcare costs
🌍 Strengthens communities and economies

As speech pathologists, we understand that feeding is more than nutrition — it’s also about connection, communication, and healthy development from the very start. 💛

🗣️✨ Does your child have amazing ideas, but struggles to express them clearly?
They might need support with their expressive language skills — and that’s where speech pathologists can help! 💬💛

Expressive language is how children use words, sentences, and grammar to share their thoughts, ask questions, tell stories, and interact with others. 🧠📝

Here’s how we support expressive language development:

🧠 Helping children find the right words to express themselves
🗣️ Building sentences that are clear and grammatically correct
📚 Expanding vocabulary and descriptive language
📖 Supporting storytelling and narrative skills
🤔 Improving clarity in explanations, conversations, and classroom tasks

Strong expressive language skills are key for confidence, friendships, and success at school — and we love helping kids become confident little communicators! 🌟

📚👀 Why Flap Books = Language Gold!
(Spoiler: It’s more than just peekaboo fun 😉)

Flap books aren’t just exciting — they’re packed with speech and language opportunities! 🎉

Here’s why we LOVE using them in speech therapy:

👶 1. Engagement + Surprise!
The “lift and reveal” keeps toddlers curious and involved — perfect for keeping little ones focused and having fun! 🎁

🗣️ 2. Boosts Vocabulary
Each flap hides something new to label: “dog!”, “banana!”, “peek-a-boo baby!” — So many chances to learn new words! 🐶🍌👶

💬 3. Encourages Repetition
Kids LOVE reading flap books over and over — and repetition helps language stick! 🧠💬

❓ 4. Builds Comprehension
“Who’s behind the door?” “What’s hiding in the box?” — Great for questions, predicting, and cause-and-effect thinking! 🧩🗃️

🧏 5. Supports Turn-Taking & Interaction
Take turns lifting flaps and making comments — this builds early conversation skills in a playful way! 🤝📖

🌟 Speechie Tip: Go slow, wait for your child to respond, and let them “find” the word or object — it’s all about interaction, not just reading.

Flap books = fun AND language development in one! 💛📚
