Did you know that hearing the first sound in words is an important early reading skill?

This can be done in so many ways:
-Walking down the street? Spot things and identify the first sound (car - /c/) #
- Play I spy - I spy something that starts with /s/ - slide

One of our favorites…create a zoo where the animals are organized by initial sounds… don’t worry, the pandas, penguins and parrots will all get along!

We might still have no idea how to actually play Pokemon, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t found a ton of ways to use them in our sessions!

Here are just a couple ways that we use Pokemon cards...have you found any other ways to use them?

Play-Doh is a classic, but we love finding new ways to use it in our speech therapy sessions! 🎨✨

Some of our favorites include baking cookies, making monsters, and turning a simple tub of Play-Doh into endless opportunities for communication, language, and creativity.

What are your favorite out-of-the-box ways to incorporate Play-Doh into your sessions? 👇

A flashlight is one of our favorite tricks to get a child engaged—turn off the lights and everything is more fun!

You can hide objects in plain sight, tape pictures around the room and work on describing, compare and contrast, or articulation sounds, you can make shadow puppets and tell stories, you can play flashlight tag and catch the light, the options are endless!

Turn off the lights and let us know how it goes...

Being open and honest about what speech therapy is — in a way that makes sense to a child — is easier than you think!
Feels hard to find the right words? Here is what we usually say!

One of our favorite ways to teach the k and g sounds is to grab our doctor kit along with some tongue depressors and lollipops, and get deep into a play schema.

Lay down on the floor—it’s time for your doctor’s visit!

Pretend play can take the pressure off of learning a new sound or doing it right on the first try. Pretending to be a doctor can help kids feel more comfortable, both with the tongue depressor and with tactile cueing from the therapist.

What out-of-the-box tricks do you have to teach sounds in speech therapy?

Sneak Peek into a literacy session with Angelique! ✨

Children are far more engaged when learning feels meaningful and playful.

In this activity, the “password” to cross the bridge had to be tapped out sound-by-sound. What looked like imaginative play was actually targeted literacy practice embedded naturally into the story line.

Instead of drilling the skill in isolation, we gave it a purpose:
�🔐 tap the sounds → say the password → save the animals!

The longer children are engaged in play, the more opportunities to model and practice the targeted literacy skill. 🤍
