Using bubbles for language development.

Rachael Downing – Allied Health Assistant.

Bubbles can be a great tool for language development!

They can provide lots of opportunities for developing both nonverbal and verbal communication.

For instance, they can promote your child to learn:

• Eye contact
• Turn taking
• Create opportunities to use signs.

Bubbles can also create the opportunity for:

• Your child learning to request.
• Teaching new sounds such as /p/
• Teaching new words such as bubble or pop.
• Teaching your child to round their lips.

Remember bubbles can be used for all different ages and stages to promote language development. You can also use bubbles to describe and talk about them. For example: big, small, tiny, sticky, wet.
