Consistent home practice is the most important factor in speech therapy success, and parents can maximize progress using three evidence-based strategies: providing clear visual and auditory models by having children watch your mouth, using highlighted written cues for early readers to reinforce sound-letter connections, and giving constructive feedback that validates effort while gently guiding correction. Practice in a distraction-free environment for just 5-10 minutes daily, keep sessions positive and playful with games and rewards, and avoid correcting errors during everyday conversation—instead, simply model correct production naturally while reserving direct feedback for dedicated practice times.
