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 "l" sound and use it in conversation. Everything you need to know about teaching a child to say and use the "l" 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 "l" 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. Listen to the child that has trouble making the "L" sound.   Excerpted from Help Me Talk Right: How to Teach a Child to Say the "L" Sound in 15 Easy Lessons by Mirla G. Raz. Copyright © 1999.

Look in the mirror with the child and say,"Look at my tongue. Watch me lift my tongue and put it right behind my front teeth." Show the child how you lift your tongue and place the tongue tip right behind your top front teeth (see Figure A). Your mouth should be open wide enough for the child to see your tongue movement. Demonstrate this for the child again.
