Help with Pronouncing Letters

Parenting Tip for Children who have Trouble Pronouncing Certain Letters.

Whatever language or languages your child speaks here's a simple tip to help them with the letters they are having trouble with. Make a game of the following and practice for shorts periods of time, like five minutes or less. Practice at a time they aren't being rushed. You can practice in the car on the way to ballet or soccer practice. Try to do this four to five times a week. After a month review if doing this has made a difference.

Have your child make up two to three funny sentences with the first letter of the letter they are having trouble with. Example the letter S: Six Silly Sailors Sailed a Snail shaped Sailboat.
Example for the letter R: Robert Roberts Rode his Red Riverboat through the Rocky Riverbed.
If your child has trouble remembering the sentence while concentrating on their pronunciation then shorten it.
Example: Robert Roberts Rode his Red Riverboat.
Note not every word has to start with R.
Have your child say the sentence slowly a couple of times, concentrating on the first letter.
Next they can say the sentence faster. For more fun they can try saying it real fast.
Sentences don't have to make sense.
If you need help finding words starting with a certain letter, grab a dictionary or use the one on your computer (Word document).
Help make the sentences amusing so your child will enjoy doing this!
