Hi, 3yr old ds1 has been seen by speech therapist as having trouble saying sounds (consonants, vowels etc) so is hard to understand. She has given some advice and used actions for certain words that mimic how mouth makes the sound. H is like hand opening out from mouth like big breath out if that makes sense? Ds seems to click with the idea. Does anyone know where I can find this online? I've looked for it but can't find anything, maybe it has a name or description I could search for. Any ideas gratefully received (especially what "w" action is!) Thanks

I think it's the Derbyshire language scheme. Try searching for that. Hope I'm not totally wrong!

might be jolly phonics, there is a song book and cd quite cheap in bookshops such as Waterstones.

Thanks - belindarose I think that could be it, I will have a browse through the websites.
Totalchaos, it's very like phonics but different actions I think, more like the shapes the mouth uses for the sound iykwim. Perhaps I should look again though in case! Am wishing had paid more attention at the appointment...
