Short 🧵 on helping children to understand and remember spoken language like classroom instructions and lesson content.

1/5 Today's #toptiptuesday couldn't be simpler - a 'Most Money' game that has proven to be a firm favourite with children for years. Description in the 🧵 #senco #sendco #DLD #devlangdis #speechtherapyideas #speechandlanguagetherapy #slpeeps #slps2be #slps #speechandlanguage
We're off with our 1st #toptiptuesday of 2025 with 6 images (4 here, 2 on the 2nd post) giving suggestions for working on those pesky irregular past tenses #senco #sendco #DLD #devlangdis #speechtherapyideas #speechandlanguagetherapy #slpeeps #slps2be #slps #speechandlanguage
Absolutely one of our favourite Christmas language activities 🎄 #slpeeps #slcn #speechtherapyideas

A #toptiptuesday 🧵As Christmas approaches dig out those stockings early & use them when supporting children with #SLCN This stocking was filled with objects beginning with /sh/ to practise that sound (sheep, shark, shell, shapes...) Other ideas... #speechtherapyideas #slpeeps
1/2 This week's #toptiptuesday is to break out the @playmobil / small world toys when working on language development with children who have language needs #SLCN #devlangdis Here used with blank #colourfulsemantics baseboards to provide a sentence frame #speechtherapyideas
Love these dice! #SLCN #speechtherapyideas
Love these dice! #SLCN #speechtherapyideas
Such a great poster! #DLDday
#toptiptuesday -a Kim's game for speech sounds. Collect objects with the target sound - here /p/ at the start of words. Talk about them with the child so they practise saying the words. Cover/hide the items & remove one -they need to say what's missing #SLCN #speechtherapyideas
This is such a useful #toptip even if we do say so ourselves! #slcn #speechtherapyideas
This is such a useful #toptip even if we do say so ourselves! #slcn #speechtherapyideas
🧵for this #toptiptuesday as it needs some explaining - but worth the read as it works so well. This a fun activity for consolidating a child's use of subjective (he/she/they) & possessive (his/her/their) pronouns but beware - there are thieves about! #SLCN #speechtherapyideas
1/2 Today's #toptiptuesday is to be mindful of body language with children with #SLCN as they're often very aware of people's non verbal reactions e.g. if they stammer, their speech is tricky to understand, they find it hard to explain their thinking or follow instructions.
1/2 Our 2nd #toptiptuesday this school year. We love using objects like old toys in therapy. This is a football racetrack for a child who needs to practise saying words beginning with /f/. He had to give instructions to the footballer (see 2nd post...) #slcn #speechtherapyideas
