“Her” is a word for a girl or woman when she is not the one doing the action: I like her, this is her coat.
Quick game – His or her?
Use two dolls or teddies, one called a girl and one a boy. Put objects next to each one and ask whose they are. Your child answers with his or her and holds up the matching card.
A simple way to teach “her”
Her has the er sound, the same as in sister and water. Point to the er and teach it as a chunk. Then use it with family photos or a book: whose hat is this? It is her hat. Practise with him and his at the same time so your child hears the pattern.
