š£ļø How do we actually produce speech sounds?
Have you ever wondered how we make the sounds we use every day? Or why some children find certain sounds trickier than others?
Iām thinking about running a parent-friendly training session all about:
⢠How speech sounds are produced
⢠Common speech sound errors in children
⢠How speech development links to phonics and early literacy
Iād love to know if this is something youād find helpful.
Iāll be drawing on my specialist doctorate-level training in phonetics and speech sound disorders, as well as my experience teaching phonetics in the UK and internationally.
Understanding how sounds are made can empower you to:
⢠Support your childās phonics learning
⢠Build on early literacy skills like phonological awareness
⢠Feel more confident supporting your child at home, especially if theyāre currently receiving, or waiting for, speech therapy.
If this sounds useful, let me know youāre interested!
