Helpful Hints Keep It Fun

• Not too easy or too difficult.
• Pay close attention to what your child can and
  cannot do.
• Follow childs 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!
