This is a naturalistic strategy where parents and practitioners immediately repeat the general content a child’s utterance, but add or change something to the original utterance in order to teach a language skill or elaborate on the child’s current level. For instance, if a child says “a ball” and parent might immediately respond with, “a ball’s bouncing!” Sometimes these are called “expansions,” but they can also be corrective in purpose.
