Teach Me How to Say It Right: Helping Your Child With Articulation Problems 
asked by willie on November 25, 2006 7:46 PM
Articulation disorder, the most common speech communication problem, is identified in approximately 1 million preschool children each year. Research suggests that problems with articulation, if left unchecked, can lead to reading and spelling difficulties, social challenges, and self-esteem problems. The strongest resource a child with an articulation problem can have is a well-informed parent who knows which articulation behaviors are normal, which are not, and how best to guide his or her child through the process of speech therapy.
This book helps parents decide whether the sound errors their child is experiencing are developmental and within normal limits for their age. The book offers a range of strategies to employ when a child does need some extra help to work through a particular speech difficulty. The book also addresses the emotions parents deal with and devotes a chapter to signs and symptoms of other common communication problems that may co-exist.

If your child has any kind of sound problems or just doesn't seem to talk clearly, buy this book. It is interesting and gives you all the information you need. There were fun activities to do with my daughter to help her learn to say her /l/ sounds. She is doing so much better and I am thrilled.

I was happy to write the foreword for this book because I believe all parents should have this information. The information provided in this book is practical but comprehensive. The numerous exercises you will find throughout the book will show you how to enhance your child's vocabulary and early literacy skils, and will encourage your child's ability to say sounds clearly and correctly.

I found this book to be a great resource. Every new parent should have a copy. I found the information to be accurate yet easily understandable to non-professionals. It's a great source of information for parents and parents-to-be.

This book's highly readable chapters on speech and language development and language stimulation will be very helpful to parents. The chapter that assists parents in determining when professional servies are needed and provides a process of evaluating the quality of those services is particularly strong.

I purchased this book because my son is having trouble saying words. The book gave me so much information about what causes these problems, and activities that I could do with him that were easy and fun. He is talking so much better. This is truly a wonderful resource for any parent and is easy to understand, but very informative and interesting.
