This can involve taking turns adding sentences to a story or encouraging the child to retell their favorite stories using complete sentences. Additionally, incorporating sentence-building games or activities, such as creating sentence puzzles or playing "I Spy" with full sentence descriptions, can provide a fun and educational way to reinforce the concept.
