This is part of the series of cleft palate books. The book targets Sh and Zh in Mandarin. / 《施叔叔数数》
Let’s Count with Uncle Shi is one in a series of books written in Mandarin for children with repaired cleft palate. The book focuses on Sh and Zh. After having a cleft palate repaired, children may need to re-learn how to make certain sounds including often the Sh and Zh. To do this, children must practice these sounds 100 times per day. This book gives children 58 opportunities to practice these sounds. The speech therapist, parent, or other adult reads lines from the book and the child repeats what the adults says with the adult listening and giving feedback.
