Articulation Tip: Practice while reading books
Is your child working on speech sounds? A great way to practice is while reading books. Head on over and subscribe to Speechy Musing’s blog to download a free list of picture books by speech sound.
Or, turn any book into an opportunity to practice. Grab a book, magazine, or newspaper, and try to find as many words as you can with your sounds.
