Home practice can yield huge gains with generalization! If your child is highly motivated to 'graduate' from Speech, try daily practice for 5-10 minutes. Home practice can be just what they need to reach mastery level (80% accuracy during spontaneous speech) with their sounds. Here are some ideas for home practice:
- Read aloud using best speech sounds.
- Tell a funny story or joke using best speech sounds.
- Record and watch a short video on an iPad using best speech sounds.
- Complete mass-practice drills targeting their speech sounds.
Remember that 5-10 minutes of daily practice is plenty! Let your child know that his/her speech is important to you. Notice when he/she uses great speech. These small things will reinforce their work in Speech group and accelerate their path to 'graduation' from Speech.
