“Fishing is such a fun activity!

When you fish with a speechie there are so many things you can catch. Sometimes there are certain sounds in the fishing pond, and other times there might be new words and other language concepts to catch.

Most children need quite a bit of repetition learning a new sound or word and fishing helps keep that repetition fun and interesting. “
