Carryover Practice

Here are some ideas for carryover activities that you can try with your child: • Ask your child to read out loud from a story book, cartoon or magazine that he chooses. • Let your child talk on the phone to a friend or relative. • Play a game together or with a group of people. • Role play an interview with someone your child admires. • Trade roles with your child and let him correct you. • With your child, choose a special time each day that he will use good speech, for example, at lunch or dinner time every day or every time he is in the car. Your child may want to tie a string around his finger or use other prompts to remind him to speak well. • Ask your child to tell a story he knows in his own words. • Have a conversation together.
