If these and other mispronunciations of the R sound occur in your childâs language, then Iâm sure youâve encountered a few frustrations in trying to correct it. Did you know that the R sound is one of the most commonly used sounds in English? No wonder that pesky sound (or lack of it) keeps getting messed up in childrenâs speech. The R sound is typically one of the last sounds to be mastered by children, often not maturing until ages 6 or 7. Thatâs just one of the reasons it has the persistency to remain incorrect in a childâs speech. Since the sound is later-developing, one of the common misconceptions is to do nothing: âOh, just wait.
Newborns also begin to recognize important sounds in their environment, such as the voice of their mother or primary caretaker. As they grow, babies begin to sort out the speech sounds that compose the words of their language. By 6 months of age, most babies recognize the basic sounds of their native language. Children vary in their development of speech and language skills. However, they follow a natural progression or timetable for mastering the skills of language. A checklist of milestones for the normal development of speech and language skills in children from birth to 5 years of age is included below. These milestones help doctors and other health professionals determine if a child is on track or if he or she may need extra help.
