Speech

Carter has been doing really well with speech this year.  Especially when I remember to do his homework with him all week instead of just on the weekend before he goes again on Monday!  We did really well practicing last week and he was able to say all these words correctly by today.

Carter often substitutes the f sound for an s.  To help with this, when he's practicing, he's supposed to make a long, exaggerated s sound and then say the rest of the word.  Sometimes he'll do that, then make an f sound, and then the rest of the word.  But after a lot of practice, he was doing all these words perfectly (though the s isn't blended into the word yet - Ms. Judy, his teacher, is fine with that at this point).  Homework this week is to say "I have ____ts" (____ts is words like boots, fruits, etc).

Unfortunately Ms. Vicky, the lady that does Carter's session at his preschool, hasn't been able to come the last couple of weeks since she broke her foot.  Hopefully she'll be feeling better soon and those sessions will start up again.
