Are you a parent or a childcare provider? If you are, here’s a challenge for you.

Be a role model to your children. How many times have you asked your child, “You eat breakfast/ lunch / dinner already?”

Here is an activity that your family can do together to work on accuracy in pronunciation. Make sure you run through the actual pronunciation either before or after the game. The aim is to learn while you have fun.

One of the most effective ways to get your kids to improve the way they speak is to get them to talk more. There are many things you can do with them. But the point here is for you to get it started, and you need to be involved.

Telling stories to your children can help develop their intellect, literacy skills, and emotional development.  Studies have shown that early readers come from homes where oral language is used in a variety of ways – story telling being one of them.
