Document Summary

Phonology-knowledge of the language conventions or rules for combining sounds. Articulation- the motor skills involved in producing sounds in sequence. By 8 years, children know and correctly produce the sounds of their language. Some sounds easier than others (stops and nasal are acquired first) Sounds are first acquired in the initial position in words. Blends (combination of two or more consonants, ex: street, mastered by age 7) Young children use phonological processes to simplify words. Cluster reduction ex: pane instead of plane (gone by 5) Final consonant deletion ex: toe instead of toad (gone by 3) Initial consonant deletion ex: unny instead of bunny (seen in more severe phonological delays) Weak syllable deletion ex: nana for banana (gone by 4) Epenthesis ex: buhlue instead of blue(gone by 8 years) Errors in production of speech sounds beyond the expected age of mastery. Delay: children with speech production patterns that are typical for children who are younger.
