Say Hello Like This
(scroll down for more activities & information)
The emphasis in this lesson is on producing the /s/ sound at the end of words. The sound is made with the tongue behind the teeth, slightly touching the roof of the mouth. A common way to elicit this sound is to tell your child to smile, bite, then blow. This sound is often added to the ends of words to indicate plural, such "spots" and "maps".
Here are some easy activities for practicing this sound at home or while you're traveling around during the day:
1. Doing laundry is a good activity for practicing plural /s/. Count and sort socks, shirts and shorts. How many do you have in different colors? How many in different sizes? Who has the most of each kind of clothing?
2. Describe houses that you see in your neighborhood. For example, "That's a big house", "That's a tiny house", "That house has bricks.".
