Say each word and have your child identify which one you are saying (touch) then have them say each word and you show them which word they said!

Instead - pick ONE sound and one sound only to target during each word and stick with that sound only (it doesn't matter what the rest of the word sounds like, as long as the targeted sound is correct) Example: target sound Final /G/ (for a child would is FRONTING child: "Fwad" for "Flag" = incorrect trial. "Fwag" for Flag = CORRECT trial. (The L-blend doesn't matter because that's not that is being targeted!) -- Suggested NEXT video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQKhX2wC914 Suggested NEXT Playlist with ALL SPEECH SOUND Videos (for non-members): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ql2dSNhb0Y&list=PLNL4Ls5aZkt91WHMIfL2a9uaAhp62Mpsm -- DISCLAIMER: Links included in this description might be affiliate links.
