 Hello and welcome to Rehab at Home from Madel. In this series we will show you some simple activities you can do at home to help your child with their listening and speaking. In this video Matthew and his mother are reading a story together. Matthew's mum does a great job expanding on and extending Matthew's phrases. She says his phrase is back to him with the correct grammar and then adds more information. Let's see how she does it. Mum oh it's my need to wash. I know he's all dirty and he needs to wash doesn't he? Yeah don't eat. He's eating the sponge. Spoons. Ah silly dog. You can't eat the sponge. No. Oh it's the sponge is for washing. Yeah he needs to go scrub scrub. Swap swap. Yeah make him nice and clean. He's all dirty. He is isn't he and the boy is going right then. He is. He's wiping him down. Going wipe wipe. Right right. By expanding and extending your child's phrases like this you can model the correct sentence forms and add more complex words or language while your child is focused with you on a fun activity.
