What's been happening at the I Spy Space!

Last week Caiti attended Kids Academy Taigum to deliver a professional development to the staff there.

We discussed all things early communication and supporting early sentence structure for our Kindy aged kids.

Thank you so much for having me Kids Academy Taigum !

With the school holidays here, it’s the perfect time for a little adventure — whether you’re heading away for the weekend, visiting family or exploring somewhere new. 🚗✨

And those hours in the car? They’re full of easy opportunities for talking, thinking and connecting along the way.

Play I Spy, spot funny signs, make up stories about where other cars might be heading, follow the journey on a map or take turns choosing the next song for the playlist.

Nothing needs to feel like “practice” — just plenty of chatting, noticing, imagining and having fun together. 💛

Here’s to school holiday adventures, good playlists and at least a few “are we there yet?” moments from the back seat!

🌈 What’s happening at the I Spy Space!
Today we were using our felt book to work on some short sentences with colourful semantics! Once our learners are confident using the sentence structure its fun to try using it with different activities. Today we were discussing “The stripey dinosaur swimming with/splashing/scaring the triceratops”.

Expanding Language at the Playground

The playground is basically a free speech therapy session — if you know what to listen for!

Here's how to expand your child's language while they climb, slide, and swing:

- "Requests" — wait at the top of the slide and let them ask for "go!" or "push!"
- "Describing" — talk about what you see: "You're SO high!" or "That's fast!"
- "Fun!" — label the emotion so they can too
- "Colours" — point out what's around: "The blue slide!" "The red swing!"
- "Action words" — run, jump, climb, slide, swing, push, pull… playgrounds are FULL of verbs

The trick to expanding language? Take what your child says and add one word. If they say "slide," you say "big slide!" or "slide down!" That's how little sentences grow. 🌱

🌈 What's been happening at the I Spy Space!

This week we've been obsessed with our rainbow petal marble run! Drop the ball at the top and watch it cascade down the colourful leaves — the anticipation on their faces is everything.

Why we love it: It builds visual tracking, patience, and cause-and-effect understanding. Plus, the gentle clacking sound is oddly satisfying for kids AND grown-ups.

Bubbles are packed with opportunities for communication! 🫧

Through shared smiles, anticipation, gestures, turn-taking, and those excited requests for "more!", bubbles create the perfect environment for building early communication skills.

✨ Action words: blow, pop, clap, stomp, poke
✨ Describing words: big, small, shiny, sticky, pretty
✨ Anticipation: ready, set... go!, waiting, requesting more, shared attention

Best of all, children are learning without even realising it. Sometimes the most meaningful communication opportunities happen when we're simply having fun together 💛

Reading tip: Make it interactive! ✨

When you're reading with your child, don't just read the words — bring the story to life!

- Point to pictures and ask "What's that?"
- Make animal sounds together
- Let them turn the pages
- Pause and predict what happens next

Interactive reading builds vocabulary, comprehension, and a love of books that lasts a lifetime. Plus, it's way more fun for both of you!
