"T" the Ticking Sound


This month we are working on the "t" sound or the ticking sound.  We will be practicing using this sound by itself and in words and sentences.  There is a visual cue for this sound that is made by putting your hand in a fist and then flipping your pointer finger up when you say "t".  This visual cue is to remind us that when we say "t" our tongue goes up.

Some things you can do at home to work on the "t" sound are:

-Play the "tip toe game".  Walk around on your "tippy toes" saying "tip toe" as you walk.
-Get some toothbrushes and pretend to brush the teeth of stuffed animals or dolls and practice saying "t" while you brush.
-Make and have an afternoon "tea" with dolls and stuffed animals.
-Build some block towers and repeat the words "my block is on top" as you add new blocks to the tower.
-Count your toes saying "1 toe, 2 toe etc....".
-Talk about and point to body parts that start with "t", like teeth, tummy, toes and tongue.
-Make some art and use tape.  Have your child use the word "tape" to request it.
