how to get child to stop using “me” instead of ‘I”

Here are a few tips to help your child stop using ‘me’ instead of ‘I’:

• Encourage your child to read books and stories that use ‘I’ correctly. Point out examples of when ‘I’ should be used in the text.
• Help your child practice using ‘I’ in conversation by asking them questions that require the use of ‘I’ such as ‘What did I do yesterday?’ or ‘What do I like to eat?’
• Play games with your child that require them to use ‘I’ such as I-Spy or 20 Questions.
• Model the correct use of ‘I’ in conversation. Talk about what you did during the day using ‘I’ instead of ‘me’.
• Correct your child’s use of ‘me’ instead of ‘I’ in a positive and encouraging way. Acknowledge that they are trying to learn the correct usage, and offer them the correct version when they make a mistake.
