Which sounds should my child be saying? Understanding speech milestones can help! 🗣️ 👅👂
These sounds are usually mastered by the following ages:
Ages 2-3: b, p, m, d, n, h, t, k, g, w, ng, f, y
Age 4: l, j, ch, s, v, sh, z
Age 5: r, zh, th (voiced)
Age 6: th (voiceless)
Important takeaway: Speech errors are a normal part of learning to talk. By age 5, most children are understood 90-100% of the time.
If you have concerns or if your child is becoming frustrated when trying to communicate, reach out to an SLP to discuss your child’s development. Early intervention can make a huge difference! 💫
