A MANUAL, TO PROVIDE PARENTS WITH AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORK OF THE SPEECH TEACHER AND WITH METHODS TO CORRECT THE POOR SPEECH HABITS OF THEIR CHILDREN IS PRESENTED. AREAS INCLUDE THE ORGANS OF SPEECH, WHERE THEY SHOULD BE PLACED TO MAKE EACH SOUND, AND HOW THEY SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT MOVE. EASY DIRECTIONS ARE GIVEN FOR PRODUCING THE MOST TROUBLESOME SOUNDS OF SPEECH, SUCH AS S-Z, R-L, T-D, AND TH. SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO HELP THE CHILD MAKE THE SOUND, TOGETHER WITH PRACTICE MATERIAL AND POEMS FOR EACH TROUBLESOME SOUND ARE INCLUDED. PARENTS AND THE SPEECH TEACHER SHOULD BE AWARE THAT CORRECTION MAY SOMETIMES BECOME A FORM OF HARMFUL "NAGGING." IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE CHILD AND PARENT HAVE A SHORT PRACTICE PERIOD AFTER SCHOOL OR DURING THE EVENING. THIS REGULAR PRACTICE, TOGETHER WITH OCCASIONAL REMINDERS, HELPS A CHILD WITH MINOR SPEECH PROBLEMS TO SPEAK CLEARLY AND CORRECTLY. A DIAGRAM SHOWING THE ORGANS OF SPEECH IS INCLUDED.
