- Reinforce your child after they are able to correctly produce a sound that is challenging for them (praise, high five, hug)
- Model the correct sound for him/her
- Play a game in which your child has to imitate the sound (Simon Says)
- Use siblings as models for the sound (peers and siblings are often very motivating)
- Set aside a time to practice a certain sound or words playing a game or a motivating activity (only need 5-10 minutes but only practice during that time)
- Once he/she is able to produce the sound find words in your environment that have that sound. Make it fun like I Spy!
Remember to make it as fun as possible and at the end of the day modeling is the best way to reinforce age appropriate sounds!
