Yo-Yo Pro

Yesterday when Sawyer was with his dad looking at used cars for sale, he saw one of the salesmen playing with a yo-yo. The man was performing a lot of unique tricks while Sawyer watched in amazement. He wanted to learn how do use the yo-yo like that. He asked the salesman how long he had used a yo-yo. The man told him he had practiced since he was eight years old. 

"My first yo-yo was yellow," he recalled. "I bought it at a yard sale with money I made selling homemade yogurt. I had to save up for a few weeks."

The man went on to tell Sawyer how he grew up in Europe and didn't have much money as a child. His father worked for a utility company. He and his younger brother sold yogurt and anything else they could to help make money for their family.

"After I bought my yo-yo and got really good, I started to charge people for lessons. One night my dad yelled at me because he thought it was unusual and a waste of time. When I showed him how much money I made, he apologized and happily said, 'You better keep doing that'," the salesman said.

"Can you teach me how to use the yo-yo?" asked Sawyer, "I think your yo-yo tricks are awesome."

"Yes, I would be happy to show you how to become a young yo-yo master," the man said, "If you really want to perform for others, I'll teach you how to use the yo-yo while riding around on a unicycle."

"Wow! Really?" said Sawyer, "That would be great. When can we start?"

Super Wild Burritos

During their tournament in Yellowstone Park, the youth basketball team stopped to eat at a Mexican restaurant. The restaurant handmade all of their tortillas and tortilla chips. When asked if the teammates wanted a "Super Wild Burrito," the answers were a unanimous, "Yes please!" Only one person said they wanted teriyaki chicken.

When the teammates went to pay for their burrito, the cashier would yell, "Super Wild Burrito going out!" and all the other employees would yell back in unison, "Super Wild Burrito coming at you!" 

It was a fun atmosphere and all of the teammates decided to make coming to the restaurant a yearly tradition.

After eating their burritos the team all yawned. They began to fall asleep on each other, using the shoulder of the person next to them as a pillow.

"We're ready for a nap," they said. 

"Not until we've had dessert," one of the younger team mates said.

The restaurant made a delicious papaya cake that they recommended with their burritos. The team bought enough pieces of papaya cake for everyone to share a piece.

After eating the cake, the team gave the employer and employees a happy "Thank You" and promised to visit next year when they returned to play in the tournament.

This list of functional words was professionally selected to be the most useful for a child or adult who has difficulty with producing the "Y" sound.

We encourage you to use this list when practicing at home.

Doing home practice will help your child make much faster progress toward correct production.

Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) are only able to see students/clients 30-60 mins (or less) per week.

This is not enough time for your child to overcome an articulation disorder with the "Y" sound. But with high caseloads...

...it's all SLPs can do.

There's only so much time in the day.

Every day that your child goes without practice it becomes more and more difficult to correct an "Y" error because he/she continues to say it incorrectly.
