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.
If a child with an articulation disorder has multiple distortions, the speech-language pathologist addressing articulation skills will usually target the earlier-developing sounds first. For example, if a child misarticulates the /k/ sound and the /s/ sound, the /k/ will be the first sound targeted because children are generally expected to master it by age 4, whereas the /s/ sound may be mastered by as late as age 8.
