Just 3: Three Ways to Improve Speech While Taking a Walk!

Due to the current situation, you may find yourself going on walks as a family more frequently! Here are some tips to increase language skills while going on a walk…

1. Singing! Make up a silly song and sing it the same way before you leave for your walks every time! This will help your child understand the concept of family routine.
2. Identifying! Pointing to a variety of things you see along your walk (trees, flowers, bugs, ponds, etc.) while labeling, discussing each item. Pointing will help direct your child’s attention to the item you are labeling.
3. Interacting! Have your child see, touch, listen to the different things you encounter on your walk. Using our different senses helps your child to engage and learn more!
