Posted this as a response in another thread, just wondering whether anyone else had this type of experience.. Feeling like I am surrounded by good talkers, including DS 1 , who just spoke all the time!
Thanks in advance
our DS, 3 in March. Like your DD,his receptive language is good( I have been testing him for long enough, poor child!),he knows all his colours, (although not as adept as your dd with his shades!) names and recognises his shapes, can recognise his own name and many letters, his counting is disastrous though.. 1,2,1,5 etc! His sentences are rather short, 3 or 4 words in the main, the odd 5 word sentence.. ' I go over there now daddy' which was such a rarity I nearly fell off my chair. Sorry, now the tips!
I have got a private SALT for my DS, because he pronunciation is awful, although getting better with lots of modelling. He has missed all his lip sounds (m, b, p ) due to suspected problems with facial muscles. He also misses consonants off the ends of words.My SALT gave me a really useful table which outlined when sounds develop, most of them ( apart from the ones my DS, for some reason, has missed) are mastered around 3.5 to 5, which is quite reassuring. So lots of modelling, DS loves alphablocks and I play the jolly phonics on my IPAD. In terms of the sentence structure, just keep modelling longer ones back?? I do probably talk too much at him, and ask him far too many questions, which is not the best approach!
I am no expert, and in the thick of it myself, worried and wondering when this magic month will come! Maybe someone with some wise words will come along soon! Hth
