ARTICULATION
Here are some tips for practicing speech sounds (articulation) with your child.
- Be a good speech model by pronouncing (articulating) all your words well before your child.
- Over emphasize the targeted sound or sounds you hear that are not produced correctly.
- Gain eye contact with your child and have your child watch your mouth when you say the word with the targeted sound slowly.
NOTE: You do NOT have to tell you child how to produce the sound. Only give a model and get your child to watch your mouth while you speak. You can also practice in front of a mirror so that your child can watch herself/himself.
