At-Home Strategies
- Repeat consonant-vowel sounds like "ba-ba", "ma-ma", "da-da" to baby and wait for them to try to imitate these sounds.
- When baby babbles, respond enthusiastically and imitate their sounds back to them, creating a conversation pattern.
- Read simple Telugu picture books, pointing to objects and saying their names with clear consonant sounds for baby to hear and practice.
- Sing repetitive Telugu rhymes with clear syllables like "ammamma amma taluku tolu" to expose baby to consonant-vowel patterns.
