beginning with the same sound, for example, ‘p’ – pancake, pick, put, police, pat, etc.

• Helping your child learn more interesting words by thinking of

new words to replace known words, for example, ‘big’ – huge, enormous, large, gigantic, etc.

• Getting your child to retell a story to you in his or her own

words
