Errors in pronouncing /k/ & /g/ ??

You need to raise an alarm if the /k/ or /g/ speech sounds are not mastered by your child till her 4th/5th birthday.

Articulation (Pronunciation) errors of the /k/ and /g/ speech sounds are quite commonly seen in toddlers. Mostly /k/ sound is misarticulated as /t/. Also /g/ becomes /d/. For example, "This is a cow" becomes "This is a tow"... and " The goat ate green grass" becomes "The doat ate dreen drass".

Like all other sounds, I 1st teach /k/ & /g/ sounds in isolation and then move on to the word level. Feel free to copy and print the pictures below to teach generalization of /k/ & /g/ speech sounds.
