The concept of "early" is different for everyone, it can mean both the age of 1, 5 years, and 3 years. It is believed that an early speaking child is one who, at 2 years old, produces phrases of three or more words, and also has a total vocabulary of more than 100 words and responds adequately to verbal stimuli. How to teach your toddler to speak early?
Instructions
Step 1
To teach a child to speak early, one rule must be taken into account - not having typed a sufficient number of words in a passive dictionary, the child will not begin to reproduce them. Therefore, the baby needs to demonstrate various objects as much and often as possible and pronounce their name. Call it indefinitely - several times a day and over the course of months. Onomatopoeia appears first. An adult rolls a car and comments: "BB". All sounds need to be pronounced clearly, exaggerated, with expression. If after half of the evening dad "beep", the baby timidly repeated the sound the only time - rejoice! This is a small but victory. Then all the sounds made by animals and surrounding objects are connected - the more, the better. To date, book publishers are releasing special manuals for kids, which are called "Who talks how." Very interesting baby books will help adults to remember all the variety of sounds of the animal world.
Step 2
When the skill of simple reproduction of sounds for an adult is fixed, proceed to combining them - that is, creating words. You need to start with simple words, with an open syllable (Ma-ma, pa-pa, wa-va), etc. The structure of the word is gradually becoming more complex, and its qualitative composition also changes. The main thing is that the spoken words correspond to the basic needs of the baby. He must learn to ask for water (drip-drip), show that he needs to go to the pot (ah, pee-pee), call all the people he needs (ba-ba, ta-ta). And even though the words are still purely conventional, their repeated repetition and the adult's reaction to the meaning of these sound combinations will show the child the importance of speech in interaction with the outside world.
Step 3
Next, work on the expression of desire and the designation of action: give, want, you can, drink, etc. Again, at this stage, the correctness of the sound composition does not matter - it is important that both the adult and the child understand what is at stake. And the more the kid speaks, the faster he learns both pronunciation and grammatical skills. It must be remembered: nouns are introduced first into the child's speech, then verbs, then adjectives, numbers, etc. There is no need to demand the correct forms of the word at the first stages of mastering speech. But the expression of approval regarding the development of, albeit a small, but new frontier, is simply necessary!
