Communication through Daily Routines: Going Out
Do you venture out of the house with your children?? Why not use a “going out day” to help teach your child more about language!
Dailey routines provide some of the best opportunities to teach our children language! Check out the list below of words, phrases, and short sentences that you can use when you are going out. Although some of these words may be more difficulty for your child to pronounce, they will be able to demonstrate understanding by identifying/fining/pointing to the names object and they may begin to attempt to imitate through sounds or word approximations!
