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.
You'll notice that, according to this data, /s/ isn't produced accurately by 90% of children until age 8. So it's not unusual at all for a 5 year old to have some difficulty with that sound. 2. I often tell kids to hide your tongue to get them to produce a /s/ sound accurately. This works best if the child is putting her tongue out between her teeth and doing more of a th sound than an /s/ sound.
