Pronouns are very important! Not only are the used frequently, but they are what I like to call shortcut keys! Any time you can find a phrase or sentence in less hits, that is a GOOD thing. Pronoun Phrases only take 2 icons, rather than 4 to say the same thing. For instance, if you wanted to say "I WANT", you could hit I 2 times, and then WANTED, then the verb (Action Man, or Herb the Verb). That is 4 hits. You can simply say it by hitting the I one time, and the WANTED man. Only 2 hits. Works for questions the same way. Insert NOT into the middle, and you have negative pronoun statements or questions.
Tips of the Day: Since pronouns are used so often, we changed our color to my child's favorite color. This was not easy, getting each one changed, but it is done. Another tip: Make the kids feel like they are sort of cheating, or getting away with something (they are, only hitting 2 keys instead of 4, LOL). This will get them using them more and more usually, therefore making their communication quicker!
