Letter Magnets

Today we sat at the table after we ran around the house a while.  On a cookie sheet I had all the vowels lined up.  Approximations we attempted for each sound.  Then a sucker was rewards for about 30 seconds.  She then had to give the sucker back and do another set.  We added "B", P", "D", and "M" one at a time and moved them along the vowels.  Again, after each set the sucker was given as a reward.  She was getting tired, but trying hard after the last set.

Then we changed to a comprehension game instead of a verbal production goal.  I put e, w, d, h, s, b, a, u, t, n, g, and k on the cookie sheet.  Then I made a sounds and asked her to give me the letter that makes the sound.  Initially this went very well.  After about 5 correct letter she started just handing me letters before I asked.  When I held her hands until I finished it was about 50/50 for the remaining letters.  When I refilled the cookie sheet with the letters we talked about eggs, dada, hat, ball, apple, gum, kite as each letter went down.  Then I asked her for the letter kite starts with.
