12. Read Poetry
Reading poetry to and with your child can help them improve their linguistic skills. You can read poetry to your child if they haven’t said their first words yet. Make careful you emphasize and pause at the appropriate times. Pronounce the words slowly and clearly.
When your youngster is a bit older, read them simple poetry and rhymes. There is also a collection of limericks. Recite the short and amusing ones several times a day with your child.
It will help students acquire prosody and articulation in a natural way. Furthermore, by the time they join the elementary school, they will be familiar with popular nursery rhymes and children’s poems.
13. Provide Simple Instructions
Giving straightforward two-step guidance to your child (once they are at least two years old) serves two purposes:
• It tells you whether they can follow simple instructions.
• It improves their overall talents.
Request a simple task, such as “go to the living room and bring the red ball.” “Go to mama and tell her dinner is ready,” for example. When they are old enough, you can progress to three or four-step instructions.
14. Give them permission to give you directions.
When your child requests that you find anything, you can request directions to the item. For instance, if they desire their red coat. “Can you tell me how I can find it?” you can ask.
It is an excellent technique to develop your child’s analytical and logical thinking skills. They will also practice their articulation and spoken language skills when they explain how to retrieve an item for them.
