(1) Pick ONE group of words to practice (see below)
(2) Say each word 10 times
(3) Click HERE each day you practice to submit your homework
This week is focused on many repetitions of simple, common words. If your child cannot produce these correctly even with your help, switch to modeling the words while your child watches and listens (have them count your productions to keep them engaged).

Homework Tip: While practicing these words, focus on the target sound ("CH" and "J").
Don't worry about errors on other sounds your student can't produce yet.
For example, if they can't say "R," and they say "teach-uh" instead of "teacher," that's okay because we're focusing on "CH."
