"chocolate,"
"fruit," and...
"meat."
Practice phrases by asking your child what kinds of chocolate she sees. Targets may include, "chocolate bars," "boxes of chocolate," and "Hershey's chocolate."
Practice sentences by asking your child what foods are made with chocolate. Targets may include, "Candy is made with chocolate," "Cake is made with chocolate," and "Pudding is made with chocolate."
Practice conversation by asking your how to choose a good piece of fruit. Targets may include, "Pick fruit that is ripe. Pick fruit that smells good. Don't pick fruit that is too hard or too soft." For the more advanced, ask your child about whether or not she thinks it is right to eat meat, or why some people prefer not to eat meat.
Touch cues are helpful for the /t/ sound. Show your child how one's tongue taps the roof of the mouth behind the teeth. This may require some pre-teaching at home before you go to the store. You two can practice in front of a mirror. You can also use your finger to tap the ridge behind her teeth (known as the alveolar ridge) where her tongue should be. A good cue is, "Tap your tongue."
