3. For each child, take note of as many utterances as possible, and what these utterances indicate regarding the child’s speech production stage.
Number of pages for your assignment is not a sign that the assignment will receive a good mark. Make sure you have adequate explanation with evidence regarding why the child is in a particular stage.

SAMPLE REPORT FOR OPTION 2:
Name of the child: Anwar
Who is the child? My sister’s daughter
The child’s age: 11 months old
Language Production Stage (estimate): Babbling and naming (she can name a few objects, but she mostly repeats syllables to exercise her articulators)
Teaching Process:
1. What sign language did you choose to teach? From which resource did you find it?
2. How did you decide on that particular sign language to teach? (What did you like about it? Or from what aspects did you find it useful?)
3. How did you teach the baby sign language? (Explain step-by-step):
e.g. I see the baby every day. Therefore, when I was talking to the baby in my usual way, I also started to repeat the signs that I learned from the book “………”, and after I used the signs repetitively, the baby started to imitate me. In 10 days, the baby started to use 7 words to communicate with us. These signs are the signs for the words “….”, “…..” etc.
4. How well does the baby now perform in baby sign language? Explain.
She can use the 7 signs consistently. It shows that she has learned these signs. The other signs I tried to teach her were not learned very well: she cannot use them when we need these words. etc.
5. Do you think what you taught the baby has helped her/him to express herself/himself? Explain.
6. Do you think s/he has learned it easily from you? Did s/he enjoy the learning process? Explain.
7. Do you think this sign language will cause any delay in her/his language production? Explain.
