Articulation Activities for Children
Articulation is how clearly a child produces individual speech sounds. When a child says "wabbit" for "rabbit" or "thun" for "sun," they're working through an articulation pattern — one of the most common reasons children are referred to speech therapy.
What do articulation activities cover?
These activities target specific consonant sounds and blends: where the tongue goes, how air flows, and how to carry a correct sound from single words into everyday conversation.
Why articulation matters
Speech sounds develop on a predictable timeline. Some errors are age-appropriate and resolve on their own; others persist and benefit from targeted practice. Knowing which is which helps you decide when to seek an evaluation.
