amo_mea_filiis. Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I'm so glad I got it from the library and like it instead of buying and not liking. I will work through a bit with ds before buying. I know that complete sentences is a huge deal, but can anyone give me ideas of how to work up to that? Ds hates repeating things he's said and rarely speaks in sentences. How clearly should I try to get him to speak? Since he doesn't currently have a speech therapist, I thought I would try and combine everything and turn it into a speech lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extendedforecast Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I assume you're talking about getting complete sentences from your child when he or she (sorry, I can't remember if you said dd or ds) gives responses to your questions. Whenever my dd answers in an incomplete sentence, I remind her that I need complete sentences and tell her to repeat the appropriate response after me. After a while, she gets it. HTH.

amo_mea_filiis. Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 It's the little (ish) one with a language disorder. I'm not sure he even knows what a complete sentence is! He rarely speaks in sentences, and almost never answers questions that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 i can't answer to the speech issue, but I'll tell you that both of my girls sometimes still need prompting for complete sentences. However, even before they knew what a complete sentence was, giving them a subject prompt ("He...," "The...") almost always got the desired result, because they knew what *sounded proper.
