Linking: Articles (A, An, The)
Linking is used by American speakers during conversation. It is essentially connecting words by having NO pauses between them. We do this in thought groups, or phrases. Sounds complicated, right? No worries, start with this quick and easy tip.
Link articles to the following noun. Do this by not pausing between the article and the noun. Say it as if they become one word. If I say “the cat”, it sounds like “thecat”. If I say “the cat and the dog”, it would sound like “thecat and thedog”.
This will greatly improve your intonation. Try it…people will notice a difference.

Help your child talk: Mix up a routine
Your child loves routines because it helps them know what to expect. Use this love of routines to enhance your child’s communication.
Set up a routine for play or a daily task. During the routine, talk about what you and your child are doing. Practice this routine, then mix it up. When you change the routine, your child will let you know his thoughts through words or gestures.
Let’s look at the routine of hand washing.
1. If you use a phrase over and over, don’t say the last word, then wait to see what your child does.
2. Forget the soap.
3. Give the child the towel before you wash hands.
4. When your hands are dirty, act like you don’t know what to do.
Then wait! Your child will say or do something. Of course, they will think you are silly! It is so much fun to hear what your child says.
