Why Use Multisyllabic Word Activities in Speech Therapy?

Producing longer words can be challenging for some children, particularly those who have difficulty maintaining syllable sequences or producing speech sounds accurately across longer words.

Practising multisyllabic words provides opportunities to work on:

• Syllable production – Practising words containing two, three and four syllables
• Speech sound accuracy – Supporting accurate production of sounds within longer words
• Word sequencing – Practising the order of sounds and syllables
• Speech clarity – Working towards clearer production of longer words
• Repeated practice – Creating opportunities to practise target words within an engaging activity

The level of support, cueing and practice should be adapted to each child’s individual speech needs.

Ideas for Using These Speech Kites
