This is the best way for you to talk to help your child’s learning:
-
It will help your child to understand what you say more easily.
-
It will help your child to learn the meaning of words.
-
It will show your child how to put sentences and phrases together.
You should:
-
Think about what your want to say to your child.
-
Think about how to say it in short, simple sentences and phrases.
-
Stress the main words (we’ve underlined them in the examples below).
-
If your child is already talking, use sentences or phrases 1/2 words longer than those he or she is using.
Instead of saying: ‘If we hurry, we might be able to catch the bus’
You could say: ‘Hurry up’, ‘The bus comes soon’.
Instead of saying: ‘Before you eat your cake, you have to finish your dinner’
You could say: ‘Dinner first’. ‘Cake later’.
Instead of saying: ‘I wonder what Grandma will bring you in her bag when she comes today’
You could say:‘Grandma’s coming today’. ‘What’s in her bag?’.
