Practicing your child's speech sounds at home can help them make quicker progress​. It's important to make sure you know which sound, level, and sound position your child is practicing before practicing at home.

Example:
Sound: /s/

Level:
Sound (/s/)
Word (sad)
Phrase (a big seal)
Sentence (Sammy sat on the green chair)
Story/Multiple Sentences (This is Sam. Sam put on his sunglasses and went to the beach. At the beach, Sam saw his friend Sally...)
Conversation (listening and practicing /s/ in a natural conversation with your child to make sure s/he is generalizing their sounds)

Sound Position: initial /s/ (sad), medial /s/ (messy), or final /s/ (bus) position
