These oral exercises are used to improve tongue movement and strength, which is important for talking and beginning to form sounds. We print these out and allow children to chose their activity they are given a number of repetitions and when finished can put it in a 'finished box' before choosing a new one. This is good fun in front of a mirror or taking selfies on a phone on iPad. They are most effective when children can visualise the exercises and see their tongues in action.
