To produce clear speech a child needs to be able to hear the difference between different sounds as well as be able to make individual sounds. This is called discrimination and it is one of the most important skills your child needs to master for learning to read as well as talk.
We have divided this page into two sections. In the first section, you’ll find some interactive online games for your child to help your child hear the difference between speech sounds.
In the second section, you will find some activities for you to complete with your child to help their listening, reading and talking.
Listening games
These games are to help develop your child’s ability to tell the difference between sounds and work out where sounds are in words. Both these skills are important for speaking as well as reading.
There are five different levels for your child to enjoy.
