Dependent on your child's language level you will need to target morphological markers which are unstressed, uttered quickly and tend to be concentrated at the high frequency end of the speech spectrum. 

For example:

• plural morphological markers |s|, |z|, and |es|, 

• possessive |s|

• past tense verb forms (irregular, regular, |d|, |t|, and |ed|)

Remember to use your Experience Book pictures to also target past tense verbs such as: 

"Mommy baked Christmas cookies." 

"The carolers sang Christmas songs."

Merry Christmas!
