G is for Guitar I

Tell your little one that today you'll be pretending to be musicians. Take out the toy guitar (or a real one if you have it at home) and let your toddler explore it freely. While {he_she} is playing with it, repeat the word 'guitar' emphasizing the 'G' sound. Invite {him_her} to try it too.

How it works

  1. 1

    First, let's introduce the guitar. Show your child the guitar and say, 'Look, this is a guitar! Can you say guitar?'

  2. 2

    Now, let's focus on the sound. While your child plays, say 'guitar' slowly, emphasizing the 'G': 'G-g-guitar.' Encourage them to try: 'Can you say G-g-guitar?'

  3. 3

    Let's see if your child can say the whole word. Hold the guitar and ask, 'What is this? It's a... guitar!' Pause to give them a chance to say it.

  4. 4

    Now for the grand finale! Sing a simple song you both know, like 'Twinkle Twinkle' or 'The Wheels on the Bus,' and encourage your child to sing along. Emphasize any 'G' sounds in the song.
