- Be consistent:<\/strong> Add your child\u2019s articulation practice into their already established routine. Practice their speech sounds during teeth brushing time, in the car on the way to school\/events or when getting ready to go to bed! Make the new articulation routine consistent for your child.<\/li>\n\n
- Short and sweet:<\/strong> Don\u2019t spend long lengths of time targeting your child\u2019s speech sounds. Take 5-10 minutes to target their speech sounds during their newly established articulation routine.<\/li>\n\n
- Make it enjoyable: <\/strong>Articulation practice can be fun and exciting. Play new games, give lots of praise and give your child \u201cspecial\u201d 1:1 time with mom, dad, grandma, etc. <\/li>\n\n
- Follow the steps:<\/strong> Make sure you\u2019re following the right steps to target articulation, as advised by your speech-language pathologist. Targeting speech sounds in the appropriate order is necessary for proper articulation development!<\/li><\/ol>
