"milk"
"meat."
To practice /m/ in phrases, have your child list the different types of milk: "chocolate milk, skim milk" for beginners; "soy milk, almond milk" for milk connoisseurs.
To practice /m/ in sentences, ask you child what kinds of milkshakes she would like to drink. Targets may include, "I like strawberry milkshakes," or "I like peanut butter milkshakes."
To practice /m/ in conversation, ask your child what meats you should buy for dinner for the upcoming week. Targets may include, "Buy chopped meat. You should make tacos. I like mine with beans."
A quick tip for making the /m/ sound is to cue your child to make the "Mmmm" sound, like she is eating something she really enjoys. Show your child how to make the /m/ sound, and have her pay attention to the fact that your lips stay closed while making the sound. If these cues don't do the trick, there are touch cues. One is to have her say "Mmmm" while putting her finger under her nose to feel the air coming out. Another is to have her gently pinch her nose to feel the vibration in the nose area while saying "Mmmm." You may provide an additional touch cue by gently pressing her lips together.
