"fork" and...
"fruit" or "food."
To practice phrases, have your child describe the fruit. Ask, "What kind of fruit do you see?" The targets can include, "fresh fruit," "bags of fruit," "sliced fruit."
To practice sentences, ask your child how fruit tastes. The targets can be, "Fruit tastes sweet," or even "Fruit tastes fruity" because the object of this task is simply to practice the /f/ sound.
To practice conversation, ask your child what kinds of food she likes to eat with a fork. A possible answer may be, "I like to eat fruit with a fork. I like it when the fruit is fresh. I like fruit from Giant Eagle."
Visual cues are helpful when making the /f/ sound. Instruct your child to put her top teeth on her bottom lip, and blow. Show her how to do it while you make the /f/ sound. Touch cues are also helpful You can gently push on her lower lip until it is under her top teeth. Also, have her put her hand in front of her mouth when she makes the /f/ sound so that she can feel the air coming out. A popular visual cue to remind your child how to make the sound is, "Bite and blow."
