Helpful Hints: Keep It Fun • Not too easy or too difficult. • Pay close attention to what your child can and cannot do. • Follow child’s lead. Use toys, books and words that interest your child. • Have fun! Stop before you or your child become frustrated. • Be helpful. Praise your child for all efforts even if the answers are not always correct. Teach the correct answer, but do not expect perfection. • Do not correct speech errors at this time. The goal is to learn that words can come apart, not perfect speech. • Encourage the whole family to play!
