- The "F" sound typically comes around 2-3 years of age.
If your child is not using the "f" sound by 3 years of age it might be a good idea to see a speech pathologist to see if they need some support with their speech sounds.
I call the 'f' sound the "bunny" sound as you need your front teeth to show and sit on your bottom lip like a bunny rabbit.
Children love this strategy and then we practice making a blowing sound for "ffffffff" this is the "bunny sound" and later I will call it "F" and have pictures of f and draw that on a piece of paper and even put it in their communication book.
I use minimal pairs as ONE way to teach speech sounds and help shape phonological processes (consistent speech errors that occur with different sounds but in a regular, predictable pattern)
Here are some examples so you can see what speech therapy may look like.
Forward to anyone who may find this helpful and keep leaving me questions and comments and I'll keep making videos.
Do you possibly have templates you could share of the drawing of your minimal pairs? I was a teacher of the deaf and much of my training was in speech therapy. I now have a granddaughter who is struggling to master the F sound. She lives in Chicago and I live in San Antonio, TX and her family has asked me to help her with the F sound.
I loved your video. You are awesome.
She’s also just been diagnosed as ADHD, at 3 1/2 years old. Her older sister who is 6 is very bright and VERY outgoing . I feel that Clara is being overshadowed by her sister who commands much attention. I have lots of compassion as I had an older brother who was labeled gifted and talented and then I came along being undiagnosed ADJD. I’m 76 now and ironically have developed at 65 dB hearing loss. I’m determined to be a help to Clara ! I’ve held onto took many things but now see how I can use them as I work with Clara… fence, feather, Farmer …..
I’m praying for your work with children and am so thankful for being able to watch your video!
I just saw this now, apologies, we are creating downloadable minimal pairs
