Visual cues are helpful when making the /v/ 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 /v/ 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 /v/ 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."
