If your child already knows in/on/under then you can also introduce more difficulties prepositions e.g. “behind the tree”, “in front of the sofa’, ‘next to the pink egg’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64415c4eb281097a7763f8e5/7f221ed3-ca99-4b9b-abf9-43c52666e4a0/image-asset.jpg Blog - language you can work on during your Easter egg hunt - Work on colours As your child collects an egg you can model the colour e.g. ‘blue egg’. ‘yellow egg’. Once you have collected all the eggs you could try sorting them into their different colours (giving you the opportunity to model the colour names again). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64415c4eb281097a7763f8e5/91609205-1757-4125-ae07-c8acc834b8e1/image-asset.jpg Blog - language you can work on during your Easter egg hunt - Introduce feelings Why not draw different emotion faces on the eggs and talk about the outward features of different emotions (e.g. smiling mouth, closed eyes, frowning eyebrows etc.). You can take this further by asking your little one to act out the different emotions or giving you can example of when they have felt like this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64415c4eb281097a7763f8e5/49559e0e-1075-4e6a-bda3-8c510cf3fef6/image-asset.jpg Blog - language you can work on during your Easter egg hunt - Discuss their size As you collect each egg you can talk about the size of it. E.g. ‘Wow you found a ‘BIG’ egg’. Once you have collected the eggs you can try sorting them into 2 piles of ‘big’ eggs and ‘little’ eggs. If your child already understands and uses big/little why not introduce other size words e.g. huge, tiny. Or talk about which one is ‘larger’. https://www.newheightsslt.co.uk/blog/2mcu5vm4hpu187blw4vvmnbvudls9k monthly 0.5 2024-01-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64415c4eb281097a7763f8e5/1696837592119-T518TI8D4D92LE9W6YLB/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Boosting language during daily routines: Bath time - Verbs (action words) There are lots of verbs we do in the bath (e.g. splashing, pouring, blowing/popping bubbles, washing). Talk about what you are doing as you do it to expand your child’s range of verbs e.g. ‘pop bubbles’ (as you pop them). This is also a great time to practice combing words. So for example if they already know their body parts you could do the same activity as above giving them a choice where you should wash next but adding the word ‘wash’. So ‘wash leg or wash arm next?’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64415c4eb281097a7763f8e5/1696838024409-6APG8PLA61AX8LSTAMLY/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Boosting language during daily routines: Bath time - Body parts The bath is a great place to teach body parts vocabulary. Model the language by naming each bit as you wash it. Then why not try and see if your child can tell you which part to wash next. If they find this difficult, give them a choice eg “hand or leg?” You could point to the two parts too to support their understanding to begin with if they need it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64415c4eb281097a7763f8e5/1696837532649-BL6BMTUU1NO980C75TPF/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Boosting language during daily routines: Bath time - Float/sink For children who already have the basic bath vocabularly, why not try out different objects and see if they float or sink. After a while, see if your child can guess what will happen – now they are predicting too! You can also try describe the objects as you go too. What are they made of? What shape are they? Are they heavy or light? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64415c4eb281097a7763f8e5/1696838783052-QZWF27LK2HI4QXOSE6Q9/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Boosting language during daily routines: Bath time - Prepositions On/Under Talk about things that you can put under the water e.g. ‘Duck ON the water’, ‘Duck UNDER the water’. You could even put them under the bubbles where you can’t see them and then guess what they are. https://www.newheightsslt.co.uk/blog/using-elf-on-the-shelf-to-build-speech-and-language-skills monthly 0.5 2023-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64415c4eb281097a7763f8e5/7359064c-5da0-42c9-9859-e3201e4cdc61/snowman+melted.jpeg Blog - Using elf on the shelf to build speech and language skills - Build Prediction Skills Ask your child questions that get them thinking and problem solving. ‘Why’ do they think the elf melted the snowman or ‘how’ did the snowman melt. You can also get them to predict about the future and try to guess what they think Elf be doing the next day. Setting the elf up in more detailed scenes allows for you to model and support your child to use their story telling skills involving predictions and problem solving! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64415c4eb281097a7763f8e5/f7302089-6cfd-4c80-910b-ff52f8648996/elf_on_the_shelf+body+parts.jpg Blog - Using elf on the shelf to build speech and language skills - Teach body parts Naughty elf could have been playing and got stickers stuck all over himself. Talk about where the stars are e.g. on his head, on his nose, on his arm. If your child knows common body part vocabulary, you could introduce some trickier words e.g. on his elbow/chin. On other days you could also have plasters or bandages on different body parts where he has hurt himself doing something silly. Or he could be hanging somewhere silly from his arms/legs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64415c4eb281097a7763f8e5/569c22df-0ab9-4bc0-a169-d75683317007/ELF-ON-THE-SHELF-IN-A-JAR.jpg Blog - Using elf on the shelf to build speech and language skills - Teach Prepositions Elf on the shelf is a great opportunity to work on prepositions with your child if they can’t yet use or understand them e.g. under, on, in, next to, behind. You could hide your elf ON the Christmas tree, or UNDER a chair, or ON TOP of a Lego tower! You could even hide him IN a container and discuss that he is stuck! The options are endless. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64415c4eb281097a7763f8e5/e4df19b0-12fc-4b6e-b59c-3e2cef70fcb4/painting+elf.jpeg Blog - Using elf on the shelf to build speech and language skills - Teach verbs (action words) Elf on the shelf is an easy and engaging way to work on verbs with your child. You can teach first verbs such as eating, drinking, sleeping, jumping, washing. Or if your child can already use them introduce new ones such as as baking, cutting, mixing, fishing, kicking, throwing, dancing, driving. https://www.newheightsslt.co.uk/blog/developmental-language-disorder monthly 0.5 2023-10-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64415c4eb281097a7763f8e5/1694440923832-PTPQL9LJAAH0TB3KAY0S/7.png Blog - Developmental Language Disorder https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64415c4eb281097a7763f8e5/1694440902588-2M6P5RXG9FDYKSJPTCB7/1.png Blog - Developmental Language Disorder https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64415c4eb281097a7763f8e5/1694440909818-8WRBYESGLFJU0UQTVID9/9.png Blog - Developmental Language Disorder https://www.newheightsslt.co.uk/blog/speech-sounds monthly 0.5 2023-10-01 https://www.newheightsslt.co.uk/blog/expanding-your-toddlers-language monthly 0.5 2023-09-10 https://www.newheightsslt.co.uk/blog/what-is-the-difference-between-speech-and-language- monthly 0.5 2023-09-02 https://www.newheightsslt.co.uk/blog/first-thing-to-do-if-your-child-is-a-late-talker-or-has-unclear-speech monthly 0.5 2023-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64415c4eb281097a7763f8e5/658b1bed-95d6-455c-a9bb-e6ec273e4e1d/image-asset.jpg Blog - First thing to do if your child is a late talker or has unclear speech To develop spoken language, children must be able to hear speech clearly and also to hear themselves; therefore if a child has an episode of hearing loss it can impact their speech and language skills. If a child doesn’t realise we are talking to them (because they can't hear us) they aren't going to be able to attach language to meaning. For example, if you are in the garden and there is a bird and you point and say “look a bird” but they don't hear you they won't attach the word 'bird' to the animal. In this way it can affect both children’s understanding of language as well as their ability to use words. https://www.newheightsslt.co.uk/blog/faqs-speechtherapy monthly 0.5 2023-06-11 https://www.newheightsslt.co.uk/blog-1 daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://www.newheightsslt.co.uk/blog-1/mashed-potatoes-with-mushrooms-and-brussels-sprout-xy2db monthly 0.5 2022-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/624b503ace400d19b18a9fa8/1649102934632-PZ1YCBVG6Y1Q2VBDYECC/image-asset.jpeg Blog posts -
