This might look like…
-
Using the wrong sounds in words (e.g. “look, it’s a tat” instead of ‘cat’)
-
Missing sounds out of words (e.g. “look, it’s a at” instead of ‘cat’)
-
Being frustrated when others don’t understand what they say
How can I help?
Top tips
- Praise your child’s efforts
- Model a good example back to your child e.g. if your child says “tat” you say “yes I see the cat”
- Ask your child to show you what they are talking about so you can model the words back to them
