After having built up the child’s utterance into a grammatically correct phrase, breaking it back down into smaller segments can help the child become aware of the different components of the grammatically correct phrase. For example, if the child says “Baby.” while holding a bottle, and the parent says “The baby is hungry, let’s feed her.”, this can be broken back down into several segments: “Hungry. The baby. She is hungry. Feed her. Feed the baby. Baby is hungry.”. Breaking the sentence down in this manner provides the child with numerous shorter segments that may be more easily imitated than the complete grammatical sentence (Paul & Norbury, 2012).
