Free of technical jargon and easy to use, this book is for speech
pathologists, speech assistants, and parents who wish to teach a child how
to say the "s" sound and use it in conversation. Everything you need to know
about teaching a child to say and use the "s" sound is clearly shown in a
step-by-step format. Each lesson builds upon the successes of previous
lessons so that the child is challenged to use the "s" more often
until he is able to use it in conversation. The book comes complete with
worksheets, suggestions for games and fun exercises, and a certificate of achievement.

Excerpted from Help Me Talk Right: How to Teach a Child to Say the "S" Sound
in 15 Easy Lessons by Mirla G. Raz. Copyright © 1993. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved TONGUE AND TEETH POSITIONING, LESSON 1: Look at my teeth. I'm going to make believe my teeth are a cage. I'm going to make believe my tongue is a tiger. When I open the cage (open teeth) you can see the tiger come out (stick out tongue). Before I close the cage, I let the tiger lie down (place tongue at the bottom of mouth, behind lower front teeth). Then I close the cage (place tongue at bottom of mouth and shut teeth with upper teeth overlapping lower teeth). When the cage is closed the tiger cannot come out (place tongue again at bottom of mouth and shut teeth). |
