A School of Dolphins: Magic at Central Library

Our dolphin is designed around Magic Mouth language therapy which supports children with Specific Language Impairment. It's a fun strategy we teach children.

All the red sounds on Magic are lip sounds because lips are red.

All the blue sounds on Magic are made using your pointy tongue.

All yellow sounds on Magic are made at the back of our tongue.

All the green sounds are vowels.

Being able to listen to one sound at a time and being able to explain where it is made is an important skill for helping children to achieve clearer speech and is a foundation skill for literacy.
