Ideas for sound production

I use lots of different things to help your child produce their sounds correctly. Many children do well when you place a mirror in front of them ( when they quit making faces at themselves :) ). I remind them to remember where their tongue should be. When I am saying the word to the child with the correct sound production, I try to draw attention to the sound they have in error. Don't pressure them to make the sound perfect. Have them practice with you, but don't continue to drill them if they produce it incorrectly. Just making them aware of their errors is the first step. Thanks for your help at home!!

Practice, practice, practice

I just want to remind all of you to practice with your child at home. Your child will make more progress if you are practicing at home. I cannot stress to you enough how important this is. If you are not sure what to do with your child, please feel free to call me or email me at mshrum@pgtigers.org for some ideas.
