My daughter is 4 and will not be starting Kindergarten until Sept of '07. I have been homeschooling her a preschool curriculum to get her up to speed with other kids her age.
My main problem is that she can't pronounce her "R's".
Ex: Car = Caw, Run= Wun, River= Wival
I think its adorable, especially when she tells me an entire story with her "accent".
I have always figured that she will outgrow it, and once she begins school, they will correct it.
Recently, several people have told me that she needs therapy. I have been told that I should correct her when she says things incorrectly- but if I do that, she gets irritated and says "I did say caw (car). You dont heaw(hear) me wight (right)."
Should I correct it now, or should I wait until she starts school? She is my last baby :( so I am in no rush for her to grow up and I think its sooo cute.
Any advice?
