Help with words...

posted 9th Jul
My daughter just turned 2 about a month ago. She talks very well for her age, she speaks in sentences and she can tell me how she feels and everything. She loves to sing and she even knows words to songs from the little mermaid, aladdin, twinkle twinkle little star, itsy bisty spider and much more.
I want to teach her the abc's since she is doing so well, but when we sing it, she kinda just babbles it, she knows the tune, but she doesnt pronounce the letters very well.
whats the best way to teach pronunciation? my sister in law (who works at a day care) says they teach their kids about letters by spelling everything out, like "i want a banana" "b-a-n-a-n-a", ive been doing that but it doesnt seem to be working, or maybe im just expecting instant results.. but im just wondering how other moms help teach.. if theres any fun games to play or sing

my daughter is 22 months and does the same thing... my 4 year old sings it constantly and she sings along. Give her time, thats a lot of letters to remember!!

At 2, they're more likely to babble alot, no matte how far they've come along with their words prior.

They still have to build alot of muscule strength, and learn how to move thier tounge correctly to pronounce. Just work on one letter a week. Start with a the first week, and show her a whole bunch of thigns that start with a. Further in the week, tell her to find something that starts with a, and just keep repeating and repeating.

That's what we did for my roommates baby, and she got the abcs down by her 3rd birthday.

yea, i guess i just thought that since she memorized so many words already that it would be easy to memorize some letters, but i guess there are lots of letters, i go over every one and she will say them all perfectly but when it comes to the song she babbles...
