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!
