Five minutes of speech practice, on the sofa.
Yapling helps parents of children aged 2 to 7 practice sounds at home with big picture cards, and hear progress over time.
7 sounds free. Pro is a one-time purchase, no subscription.
Big pictures your child can say out loud
Hold the phone 40 to 60 cm away. Your child looks at one large picture at a time and says the word.
Tap how it went
Got it, Close or Not yet. Press and hold briefly so your child does not tap by accident. Record the voice to hear it later.
See each sound move forward
A step is reached at 80% over the last 20 tries on 2 different days. Weekly charts, and a PDF report for your speech therapist with Pro.
