Making a photo album for your child can prove to be very beneficial for her language. I like to have families use personal photos of family members engaging in daily routines. Include all the familiar people in your child’s life engaging in typical activities in order to focus on functional language. For example, use pictures of Mom reading a book, Dad cooking, brother sleeping, Dad eating, and Mom giving the baby a bath.
Our goal is to increase functional language. Many times, children love looking at pictures of themselves so take advantage of that. Take pictures of your child engaging in a variety of tasks that are typical for your family. You may also want to include pictures from special occasions, vacations or events, and family pets.
