SPEECH · LANGUAGE · FLUENCY · VOICE TIPS

Talk with your child about the function or use of common objects in his/her environment. Then question the child on its use. Turn it into a game by gathering 6-10 common objects and asking the child to identify the object that you describe.  "Which one do you dry your hands on?"  What do you sit on?"  "What do you eat your cereal with?"  You can also play another game by having your child pantomime the function of each object.  If your child is working on saying a particular sound then pick objects that have that sound in them.
