Activities to Encourage Speech and Language Development. Birth to 2 Years
Say sound like "ma," "da," and "ba." Try to get your baby to say them back to you.
Look at your baby when he makes sounds. Talk back to him, and say what he says. Pretend to have a conversation.
Respond when your baby laughs or makes faces. Make the same faces back to her.
Teach your baby to do what you do, like clapping your hands and playing peek-a-boo.
Talk to your baby as you give him a bath, feed him, and get him dressed. Talk about what you are doing and where you are going. Tell him who or what you will see..
Point out colors and shapes.
Count what you see.
Use gestures, like waving and pointing.
Talk about animal sounds. This helps your baby connect the sound and the animal. Use words like "The dog says woof-woof."
Add on to what your baby says. When your baby says, "Mama," say, "Here is Mama. Mama loves you. Where is baby? Here is baby."
Read to your child. You don't have to read every word, but talk about the pictures. Choose books that are sturdy and have large colorful pictures. Ask your child, "What's this?" and try to get him to point to or name objects.
