Chicken Little is a protection game. A word card falls toward the chicken over about eight seconds, and your child protects Chicken Little by saying the word before it lands. The steady pace suits younger children who need a moment to plan each word.
SpeechLP is free to download on iPhone and iPad. No iPhone?

How to play Chicken Little
A small chicken on a farm, with word cards falling from the sky.
1
A picture and word card starts falling toward Chicken Little.
2
Your child says the word while the card is still in the air.
3
SpeechLP listens. A word that counts protects the chicken, and the next card starts falling.
4
The practice report lists each word and the app's feedback.
Optional camera view. Chicken Little can show the front camera, so your child can watch their own mouth while saying each word.

Screen-free version
Keep practicing off screen: Sky is falling
Toss a soft ball gently toward your child and say a target word. They say it back before they catch the ball. Swap roles so your child calls the word for you.
