Do you struggle to help expand children’s vocabulary skills during speech therapy sessions? You can’t possibly teach a child every word he will ever need. Instead, you need a strategy that you can teach the child that will help him learn and remember many words. Kristin Immicke from Talkin’ With Twang is here to show us how you can teach prefixes and suffixes to help a child improve their vocabulary skills.
