You make the /l/ sound by putting your tongue on the bumpy spot behind your front teeth ( called the alveolar ridge) and then producing voice, Some fun activities that'll give you a chance   to practice this sound at home are:


​
Here are some fun and simple activities for practicing this sound:


1) Create crafts with falling leaves. A favorite one of mine involves making faces out of foliage (http://www.justinablakeney.com/facethefoliage/). Emphasize the /l/ sound when you say leaf. It is also an opportunity to talk about seasons and fall; again, you can emphasize the /l/ at the end of fall.

2) The classic games Lincoln Logs and Legos provide many chances to practice /l/. You can practice conversational /l/ by telling your child “look at my Legos” or that you “like their logs”!
​

3) Talk to your child about what you like for lunch and what you don’t like for lunch. You can make a list of similarities!
​​


Core vocabulary: like, love, left, leave, letter, lady, light, loud, last, look

Go here for a playlist of songs to work on the initial /l/ sound.

Line-up cheer- Teacher: That's the way, uh-huh uh-huh...    Kids: I  like it

Gross motor game:​ Hot Lava- put target words on floor & jump over hot lava to get to them ( I  use scarves or orange construction paper to represent the lava)
