LeoMagan.com Our speech therapist discuss How To Teach Your Child with Unclear Speech or No Speech To Say One to Ten.
Hi, this is Magan Chen. This is a channel about speech therapy tips. And today we're going to be talking about numbers. All right. Today, one to 10 numbers. So this will be useful if you have a child who doesn't have a speech yet, but who has a real interest in numbers, likes to point in numbers, like to look at numbers or listen to number songs and so forth, right.
Or if you have a child who is just starting to use speech and can say the numbers, but the numbers are not clear.OK, so I love working with numbers because it's a good opportunity to also share with parents how speech develops. You want to know from 1 to 10 what are the sounds that are easier for a child and what sounds may be more difficult for a child so that you start with the easier sounds, obviously. OK, so let's say the first scenario, just recently I was working with a little girl who has no speech but who has a real interest in numbers and loves to take mommy's hand and point to different numbers. OK, so FYI.
Of all the numbers 1 to 10 right, the easiest sound to say, developmentally speaking.Meaning that as a child develops. All right, the easiest sounds would be what we call vowel sounds. AEIOU. OK, so the number 8 is usually the easiest to say because you don't really have to worry very much about town positions or lip positions and so forth.
As long as you can make the sound at your vocal cords and you've got the right shape for the mouth, 8 is usually easiest. So what we would do is to actually, for me, you can work with a number puzzle.All right, all work with our numbers, with a book and so forth, with a video.
And what we will do is to actually say, you know, 123-4567.And then Paul said so for a child who is very familiar with the sequence as expecting 8. But if you don't say 8 and nobody says 8, it's like 123-4567 and the silence, the child is going to try to come up the sounds and fill in the blank, all right. So once she says makes a sound, now it's not. It's quite likely that the first time the child tries it is not going to come as a clear 8, right? Maybe just, you know, it's a sound like that, sound like that.But we interpret it as age and reward the child.
Great. OK, you know it's eight. That will continue 9, 10 and so forth.So the idea is to pause at 8, do not say 8, and then let your child actually come up with sound. I didn't come up the word, of course. Or to say very clearly 8. Why are you not saying 8? Right.
For the child to actually say 8 and then reinforce that, praise the child and repeat it again. Yeah, it's 8. Mommy forgot or Daddy forgot. And then you continue. So from there, because that's the easiest sound. And then we can move on to other numbers.What about if your child is already saying 1 to 10, but the sounds may not be very clear. OK, so let's talk about the other sounds.
So the first one one.OK, this one sometimes is tricky, more because when children can't manage this they're likely to say month, but but something like that because they can't manage the movement. All right, I talk about how very often children need speech therapy because for other peers, for other children their age, it may be a very small step. And we don't realise that. It could be actually quite a big step for a child who has difficulty. And for one, for example, for us maybe it sounds like just a word.
OK, it's a very simple small step to us.But actually requires a couple of different lip movements, so you need to go from like around a little.11 You need to be able to round your lips.
OK, and this is also the same sound or the same movement that you need if you're trying to teach your child to say, you know, something like requesting and say I want, I want Jews or I want chips, I want or it's the same sound 123 and I want or it starts the same way.
So just for you to know that if your child is having difficulty starting of the one, or quite often, it may be because of this particular movement, So what can you do? You can actually emphasise the sound a little bit more when you're teaching. So rather than just saying, you know, OK, see after me, you know, say 123.One, to really slow down, emphasis, get a a mirror so you can see the mouth movements and so forth. All right, what? So the lip rounding is required.OK, after that two all right. Two starts with the letter T sound.
So a child needs to be able to have the tongue in the T position plus also be able to blow out. OK, I don't tend to talk about a tongue position a lot with children, more because you know, you can't really see the tongue in the mouth.
Anyway, even while I'm doing this I too you can't really see my tongue movements, so I tend to emphasise more of the air coming out. So what you can do is to actually take your child's hand, right?
