Your child’s favorite toys can become speech therapy tools 🗝️💬
In this session, this kiddo wanted the keys to a playhouse, giving his therapist a natural opportunity to practice his /k/ sound.
Together, they worked on: 👉 “Hold the keys.”
Rather than stopping play for a formal drill, his therapist followed his motivation and built speech practice right into the activity.
🏠 Try it at home!
If your child is working on a specific speech sound, look for words that naturally come up during their favorite activities. For example, while playing with a playhouse, you might practice:
🔑 keys
🗝️ key
🚗 car
🐱 cat
🍪 cookie
You can also:
✨ Model the sound clearly: “K-K-KEYS!”
✨ Emphasize the target sound: “Hold the Keys.”
✨ Give your child opportunities to try: “What do you need?”
✨ Keep it playful: Practice for a few repetitions, then keep playing!
Use the moments your child is already interested in to create meaningful opportunities for communication 🤍 And remember...the specific sounds and words a child should practice depend on their individual speech development and goals.
At Ring Therapy Services, we love helping families find ways to support communication inside the everyday moments that already matter to their child.
