Speech Training for Children

Excerpt from Speech Training for Children: The Hygiene of Speech It is gratifying to note that those engaged in speech training for children are recognizing the great importance of not confining correctional efforts solely to the speech mechanism. This little volume is an excellent example, which well illustrates this view of the problem. If the numbers of children who lisp and stammer are not to be augmented in future, all children must be properly trained in the development of speech. Unfortunately, most parents are little concerned with the general betterment of speech in their children aside from the riddance of its grossest defects; hence the general low standard of the speaking voice has become proverbial, specially in this country. In addition to giving precise and readily understandable methods for the speech training of children, the authors devote a large portion of their text to the important structural and functional principles that underlie its proper development.
