Practice other sounds
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.
