West Berkshire Every Child a Talker

TALKING TIP OF THE MONTH

Show your child how to put their words into phrases

When children are learning to talk, they can make mistakes with the words that they use and the way that they join them together. Sometimes they may miss out some of the smaller grammatical words. If your child says a sentence and it doesn't sound complete, show them how to improve it without telling them that they made a mistake. 

 Here's an example, your child may say "I runned to park".

You could reply with "yes, you ran to the park....you ran really quickly....I ran quickly too".

This will help your child to make progress with their spoken language over time.
