It can be especially helpful to sit with your child and say the word into a mirror so they can watch their mouth moving to create the P sound.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    1. Feel the Sound of the Letter P<\/strong>

      Explain to your child that when they make the letter P sound, they’ll start with their lips together and teeth apart. As they create the letter P sound, a puff of air will come out of their mouths. They can feel it if they hold their hand in front of their mouth as they make the sound.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Practice Patience<\/strong><\/strong>

        Learning new sounds can be tricky, as some letter sounds are harder to master than others. Whether it’s the sound of the letter P or another letter sound, take your time mastering each letter sound and take a break if your child becomes frustrated. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
