Early 8 sounds

Early 8 sounds are usually the first consonants children master. They are good first targets for young children and for building confidence.

Middle 8 sounds

Middle 8 sounds typically develop after the early 8. Many children practice them in the preschool years.

Late 8 sounds

Late 8 sounds are the last consonants most children master and are common articulation therapy targets for school-age children.

Consonant blends

Consonant blends combine two or three consonants without a vowel between them. Practicing them helps once the single sounds are stable.

Vocalic R

Vocalic R is an R sound that follows a vowel, as in car, fork or bird. It is one of the most frequent targets in school-based speech therapy.
