You make the /l/ sound by putting your tongue on the bumpy spot behind your front teeth ( called the alveolar ridge) and then producing voice in your throat.

​

Here are some fun and simple activities for practicing this sound:

1) Create crafts with falling leaves. A favorite one of mine involves making faces out of foliage (http://www.justinablakeney.com/facethefoliage/). Emphasize the /l/ sound when you say leaf. It is also an opportunity to talk about seasons and fall; again, you can emphasize the /l/ at the end of fall.

2) The classic games Lincoln Logs and Legos provide many chances to practice /l/. You can practice conversational /l/ by telling your child “look at my Legos” or that you “like their logs”!

​

3) Talk to your child about what you like for lunch and what you don’t like for lunch. You can make a list of similarities!
