Singing together is a great way to build language and confidence:

🕺Try adding actions,
🔁repeating key words,
➡️following your child’s lead as you go.

Most of all...have fun!

✨It's Fun-Filled Friday!✨

This week we are on the hunt!🔎🕵

A treasure hunt is a fun and playful way to help children learn, memorise, and generalise their speech sounds.

You can use simple items such as cards, colours, and everyday objects around your home!

Pair this activity with lots of lovely and positive reinforcement e.g. stickers, praise, a happy dance, or anything your child enjoys to keep learning joyful and motivating 🤩🥳.
