July is a time for sunshine, play, and relaxation—but it’s also a great opportunity to keep your child’s communication skills growing in fun, everyday ways. Here are a few simple strategies to help maintain speech and language progress over the summer months:
1. Talk during daily activities.
Whether you’re at the pool, the park, or the grocery store, turn experiences into learning moments. Describe what you see, ask open-ended questions, and encourage your child to do the same.
2. Read together regularly.
Choose books that spark your child’s interest and take time to pause, predict, and discuss the story. Ask questions like, “What do you think will happen next?” or “Why did the character do that?”
3. Play with purpose.
Games like “I Spy,” charades, and board games support vocabulary, turn-taking, and expressive language in a natural and engaging way.
Summer learning doesn’t have to feel like homework. With a little creativity, you can help your child stay speech-strong—while still making the most of the season.
