For children ages 4-7, pronouncing any of these beginning sounds:
- S (sun)
- Z (zipper)
- Sh (shell)
- Ch (cheese)
- J (jump)
- F (fun)
- V (van)
inappropriately means they need extra practice. Contact your local speech center for information.
Note: a lisp is okay, but substituting other letter sounds is not.
For example, dipper instead of zipper; dun instead of sun...
Use the cue system (download) with your child to help emphasize and remind them of these sounds to improve their articulation.
