25.01.2022 Tuesday Tips : Children will learn the names of letters, and that is ok, but if you really want to support your child with their future reading and writing skills, teach them the sounds letters represent. Teaching letter names doesn't support their decoding e.g. 'cee-aye-tee' doesn't help them to read 'cat' but using the sounds does e.g. 'c-a-t'. Think about going through your alphabet chart based on sounds.

24.01.2022 Monday Motivation - using one of our favourite books to work on rhyming. Phonological awareness skills include rhyming, initial sound awareness in words, identifying and manipulating syllables, blending sounds into words, segmenting words into speech sounds and manipulating sounds in words. Phonological awareness skills are strong predictors of later reading ability. These skills are important to develop in the year before school Give us a call if you want your child to b...uild these skills before they start school . . . . #speechtherapy #speechpathology #phonologicalawareness #literacy #reading #school #schoolreadiness #success #rhyming #books #schoolready See more

24.01.2022 Wednesday Workouts : Hungry for Words App - a great app to help your children work on important pre-literacy skills before they start school! It's always great when you can trick them into some learning for iPad time . . . .... . #speechtherapy #speechpathology #literacy #phonologicalawareness #learning #education #apps #children #hungryforwords See more

23.01.2022 Tuesday Tips : Don't let those rich 'tier 2' words disappear when you're reading and engaging with your children. Help them build their vocabulary by identifying 'tricky' words when you're reading. Talk about the words, see if you can both work out the meaning from the context, look up the word, look at pictures, find words that have a similar meaning, use the word in a new sentence. Don't let these words slip away, get your child to make a special little workbook or diary w...here they can write new words into. This can be their book of gold that they can refer to when they're writing to include more interesting vocabulary . . . . . #speechpathology #speechtherapy #vocabulary #reading #learning #children #englishlanguage #writing #mosman #northshoremums #neutralbay #cremorne See more

22.01.2022 Tuesday Tips : Using pretend food to work on following instructions, recalling information, working on concepts, requesting and working on sequencing.

22.01.2022 Wednesday Workouts : Working with toddlers and early language, one of the first things we talk to parents about is reducing the questions they ask their child. As a child is learning language, asking too many questions can put them on the defensive and can lead to the child saying or doing less. Challenge yourself to not ask any questions within an activity and focus more on commenting on what you and your child are doing. Then notice how these interactions change. . . . .... . #speechtherapy #speechpathologist #speechpathology #earlylanguage #earlyintervention #hanen #morethanwords #languagedevelopment #mosman #mosmanliving #cremorne #neutralbay #northshoremums See more

21.01.2022 Tuesday Tips : Pretend play is a fantastic way to build on your child's language skills. Get your toys out and talk about what they're doing, create little scenes and scenarios to work on your child's goals in a fun way! With a doll house you can go through familiar routines with toys such as bath time, bed time and your morning routine.

20.01.2022 Online Therapy: Due to recent circumstances, our therapist have transitioned smoothly into delivering online therapy. Although many sessions are back face-to-face, several families are opting to have their children/teenagers continue online sessions. With so many after school activities and drop offs, it can be a juggle and it's one less thing for families to have to get to. Online therapy has been as effective as face-to-face and our clients are really enjoying it. .... . . . . #speechtherapy #speechpathology #speechlanguagepathology #onlinetherapy #onlinetherapist #mosman #mosmanliving #northshoremums See more

19.01.2022 One of our incredibly talented teenagers was sharing a bus he made last night in his online therapy session. How amazing is it!?! He is thriving in his online sessions.

16.01.2022 Using the minimal pairs approach to work on fronting - when a child says 'tut' instead of 'cut' they're bringing the /k/ sound further forward in their mouth and producing it as a /t/. Teaching children that there's a break down in communication when they say it the 'old way'. E.g. 'Tut? That's the name of our silly monster, can you try it again with our new back sound' (cut). . . . .... . . . #speechpathology #speechlanguagepathology #speechtherapy #speechtherapist #northshoremums #mosmanliving #mosman #cremorne #neutralbay See more

16.01.2022 Do you have concerns about your child's speech or language development? Early intervention is key! Engaging in early intervention for children with speech and language difficulties is important to help them to develop the communication skills needed for ongoing succuss throughout their schooling and social interactions. The earlier a child receives the specific support they need, the better their language outcomes will be. . . . .... . #speechpathology #speechtherapy #speechlanguagepathology #speechdelay #languagedevelopment #earlyintervention #academicsuccess #learning #onlinetherapy #telehealth #education See more

15.01.2022 Mini Harry Potter wands for pointing!

15.01.2022 Wednesday Workouts : Children often have trouble marking all sounds and syllables within polysyllabic words (words with multiple syllables). This skill is important for speech production, literacy and phonological processing. Children always love some pretend play with dinosaurs! Within that you can work on segmenting, blending and marking all sounds and syllables within all those long and tricky dinosaur names such as 'Ty-ra-nno-sau-rus', 'Ste-go-sau-rus' and 'Tri-ce-ra-top...s'. . . . . #speechpathology #speechtherapy #speech #phonologicalawareness #syllables #literacy #reading #learning #dinosaur #pretendplay #mosman #mosmanliving #northshoremums See more

13.01.2022 Thursday Thoughts : A reminder that not being able to speak is not the same as having nothing to say. Some people may not be able to use oral language to communicate, however they may use sounds, facial expressions, sign language, a picture exchange system or a speech generating device. Everyone has something to say, it's our job to support them to find a way to communicate their message . . . .... . #speechtherapy #speechpathology #occupationaltherapy #communication #language #talking #aac #signlanguage #facialexpressions #visuals #mosman #northshoremums #northernbeaches See more

13.01.2022 We've been having so much fun using Banagrams to work on building words and digraph spellings such as 'th', 'ch', 'ee' and 'ai'.

12.01.2022 Tuesday Tips : We have borrowed this idea from a wonderful family who used it with their toddler at home to work on early language skills. The family had themes each week such as under the sea, wild animals, food, transport etc. This helped them to have a focus each week and to build on vocabulary in each category, whilst focusing on their child's goals within their theme. It also helps families to get out specific toys related to the theme, read related books and set up fu...n craft activities. We love that families can bring us ideas, and that we can share them with more families . . . . . #speechpathology #speechtherapy #earlylanguage #languagedevelopment #vocabulary #themes #reading #parenting #semantics #categories #toddler #mosman #mosmanliving #northshoremums #neutralbay #cremorne See more

10.01.2022 Thursday Thoughts : Some great new books purchased this week from Aldi to add to our collection! We love these magnetic/felt books.

06.01.2022 We used planes and luggage to work on longer words today. Each luggage bag had an item inside that was 2, 3 or 4 syllables long. We worked on clapping out syllables in words, counting syllables and blending the syllables back together to say the word. These skills are important for pre-litetacy but also for speech development.

05.01.2022 One of our very talented teenage clients sharing his amazing drawings of planes! We love when our clients share their skills with us in therapy. . . . .... . . #speechtherapy #speechpathology #speechtherapist #emirates #qantas #virginaustralia #singaporeairlines #drawing See more

02.01.2022 Friday Funday : We went on a treasure hunt in our session today. After finding each little treasure we then worked on many skills such as pre-literacy skills - syllable segmenting e.g. 'wa-ter-me-lon', we then talked about what category the item fits into e.g. 'fruit', after that we described features e.g. it's big and round, green on the outside and red on the inside, black seeds, juicy etc. Such a fun activity to do in sessions and at home! . . . .... . #speechtherapy #speechpathology #preliteracy #syllable #semantics #describing #adjectives #treasurehunt #children #learning #mosman #mosmanliving #northshoremums See more
