Level 1) Have your child imitate after you say a /p/ sound for each panda on the card. Level 2) Have your child imitate the /p/ sound syllables, maintaining the same vowel sound. a) Vowel sounds are: 'ah' 'uh' 'oo' "E" 'au' 'eh' 'ih' b) Vowel combinations are: "I" "O" "A" 'ou' 'oy' Level 3) **turn on your speakers** Both you and your child imitate the syllables you hear when you turn the cards back over to hide the picture. YOU CAN HEAR THE SOUNDS AGAIN JUST BY PRESSING THE KEY ANOTHER TIME!

What is hiding behind the /p/ sounds?

***give this page time to load the sounds***

Imitating sounds in repetition can help develop accuracy, muscle memory and awareness.

Think about what you want your child to say/do and what you will do to help that happen!

(e.g.: If I think that my child can imitate /p/ + vowel sounds, I might first start with /p/, next tell my child to listen for the new sound and then model /p/ + vowel sounds. If my child does this, then we celebrate by flipping over the card! Another practice time I will see if I can set the goal higher or tell my child if we are going to try just one tricky one,)
