What is Articulation?
Articulation is how children pronounce sounds and words.
How do we know if there is a problem?
-
Your child may not be understood by unfamiliar listeners (eg family friends, relatives, teachers)
-
Your child leaves whole sounds out of words
-
Your child mixes up their sounds & replaces them with other sounds
-
It sounds like there is too much air coming out of their mouth
-
Your child should be able to pronounce most sounds by the age of 4 (with some exceptions)
