If you are heading out for a walk today, turn it into a fun way to practice speech & language skills with your child. Look for...

👉 Things that start with a specific sound ('I spy something that starts with b').
👉 Things that belong to the same category ('let's find Christmas decorations').
👉 Things by function ('I spy something you use to keep warm').
👉And anything else your child finds interesting.

Have fun and stay warm! ❄️

Children need about 50 different words in their expressive vocabulary before they can start combining words when speaking. Their expressive vocabulary also needs to be made up of different word types including people, thing, action and location words.

Build your child's expressive (and receptive) vocabulary this holiday season by focusing on these holiday action words.
