It is getting better, but it takes practice to even hear them. Rhyming is still rather baffling to TM. He's great at finding alliteration (the same beginning of words) and often confuses it with rhyme. But he's making progress. About 50% of the time he can pick out the rhyme now, whereas this time last year, he couldn't get it at all. It amazes me how much basis for language is laid down in the first three years of life.thecurrysevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932092243753160814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25502633.post-87818657402857183372009-12-18T07:34:21.575-06:002009-12-18T07:34:21.575-06:00Funny!

It may be a little early, but the pediatrician thought it would be prudent. She did a little research after the referal to the ST and found out that it is very common for little ones learning English from Vietnamese to drop the last part of a word or improvise :)Valorie Leonardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09867379346625953215noreply@blogger.com
