Listen First, Then Say It

Before you echo, your ears do the work. Wait quietly until the grown-up finishes the whole line.

If you start too soon, you might miss the end. Try this: the grown-up says, 'My cat naps in the sun. ' Wait... wait...

now you say, 'My cat naps in the sun. ' Because you waited, you heard the last word, sun, and you did not miss it.
