HOW TO SAY AND TEACH THE “G” & "C" “K” SPEECH SOUNDS: At Home Speech Therapy // DEVOICING & FRONTING

[@karenpayne3847]

You are amazing - thank you so much for sharing this information freely. I am a classroom teacher with no speech training, but can see how dramatically this impedes children's development in literacy. I really appreciate that you have filmed this and uploaded it. It was very clear and sequential. I am very excited to try and implement your practice :)

Thanks

Wow! Thank you so much for explaining this at a very basic level! You’re examples of how to teach are a huge lightbulb moment for me! I homeschool my 5yr old and he can’t pronounce /g/ or /k/ and this will help me teach him! Thank you so much!!!

@@TheSpeechScoop one question. My son is a very active crazy boy. I can’t get him to sit still do work on his sounds. Is it ok to just let him bounce off the walls and practice at the same time? He’s driving me nuts but he has to be retaining the practice somehow? Lol Sincerely, One tired Mama

[@TheSpeechScoop]

@@kelleyalmond1667 absolutely! I actually did a short clip of myself doing jumping jacks and practicing speech sounds in the video called “Tip #7: make it fun!” If you want to check that out! Most little friends will not sit and attend at a table for very long, So maybe you could even do something like sit and practice the word five times and then we get to go on a scavenger hunt for three minutes and set a timer for both activities so it’s work first then play and the rounds are extremely quick and if you do that for 30 minutes then you get at least 10 minutes of work in & he had a blast too & will want to do it again later!

Did he ever get it? I’m going through this with my 5 year old Now 😩

[@SaintSaint]

I really appreciate this. My daughter is learning her K/G. I'll definitely try the "who want's chocolate milk?! Guh guh guguh!! ah!" I never realized that the only difference between K and G is that G has a vocal tone pushing through the K to make it a G. Whisper "I have a great crater." Then whisper I have a crate grater." The distinction is quite subtle! K has only the faintest interruption of air. I'd never explain it that way to a child... but to an adult, it's neat.

[@SaintSaint]

Oooh! Or "Stop Gargling grapes!!! You'll choke! Gah gahgle gahg gahgah!" When we want to be silly. My kid is in speech at pre-k and outside.

My daughter said her first words only a couple months old. Her understanding of things were brilliant. She's a bright child. She was listening and following instructions since under 12 months. Met all milestones quickly/ advanced. The thing is I noticed from 12 months onwards, the pronunciation of words was strange... tat for cat as you have said in this video. Dame for game. She went very quiet at 18 months but otherwise developing above average. Starting nursery by 3 she was talking again loads and wouldn't stop but just mispronouncing many words, so only 50% of language was understood and 50% not. I understood about 70% being mum. Now at 4 approaching 5 in Oct I would say she's 85% understood and about 95% for me as the parent. She has improved since changing nurseries 2 months ago, speaking so much and clearer. Now she is reading but the speech holds her back. C, G, K, Q, X These 5 sounds are the problematic sounds for her. Cat is tat Game is dame Queen is teen X ray is x ray but when saying the sound it sounds like another t...so doing the phonics sounds she uses t a lot. Do you know what could be causing this? Sorry for the long public message. Honestly noone in the UK takes this seriously for a child who is otherwise healthy and is developing well. Thank you

[@TheSpeechScoop]

Hey there, so it sounds like she is presenting with a phonological process called "fronting" where her back sounds are replaced with sounds made in the front of the mouth /t,d/ this COULD be due to a tongue tie (front of back) so I would definitely take her to the ENT/doctor to see she does have a back tongue tie that would limit her tongue's range of motion and ability to move upwards and back. If you notice, C and K are the same sounds and /G/ is the same sound as /K/ but with the vocal cords on (voice on). Additionally, "Q" is a diphthong sound consisting of /K/ + /U/ and so is "x" which is "eh" + /K/ + /s/. Focusing on back sounds will help tremendously, specifically /K/ and /G/ but I would definitely get her tongue check out ASAP. Hope this helps!

[@kirstygunning4202]

@@TheSpeechScoop thank you so much! I will book an appointment. There is definitely something causing it because she's otherwise very intelligent.

[@chelseaferguson17]

I home school my 3 children and my youngest is 4 years old and has issues with saying the Letters G, H, and J. She can make the phonic sound for each but struggles with the letter name, for instance G will sound like (SHE) and H will sound like (AISH) and J will sound like (SHAY). She’s my reluctant one so these videos add that element of fun that she needs to stay focused and try her best. Any advice for these letters?

Thank you for uploading this video! My son is 23 months old. I speak to him in Spanish (only recently I have stuck to solely use it, before I would jump from Spanish to English) and my husband in English. Lately I've been so frustrated because my husband has me in a countdown for him to speak perfectly before he turns 2. It's driving me nuts and I am afraid I won't be able to teach him properly. I hope this works! Thanks again!

[@cbslp3556]

Oh no! Having all sounds in place perfectly by age two is an unreasonable expectation. Several sounds in the English language (many also appear in Spanish) aren't expected to be mastered until much later--for example, "th" and "r." There's nothing wrong with exposing your child to models of these speech sounds--that's a good thing. But expecting mastery of all sounds by age two is not a developmentally appropriate goal.

Hey i,m 20 year old and just today I found out that I have been pronouncing g and k sound wrong. I have been using tip of my sound many times for making that sound. And no one has even pointed me yet in my life that I've been saying these wrong. It's just that I knew I didn't sound clear on these letters whenever I heard myself on recordings and sometimes people also couldn't understand it. Ironically my own name starts with G and then middle name starts with K lol 😂. Now I'll trying to change how I produce these sounds. How much time will it take me (an adult) to completely correct my sounds of g and k?

Hello! Whenever I say my K or G sounds, most of the time, I end up making this weird noise like it does not sound clear. I feel like the sound is like a gargling sound. I have been recently trying to learn how to speak in a different language but this problem I am facing, really demotivates me. This weird sound, happens with my native tongue as well which is English. I don't know if this has anything to do with the fact that when I was younger I had a speech impediment and still kind of do. Also, I could not speak until I was three years old.

start with the /m/ sound - ( i have a video for this hand cue if you need it) with back of hand on mouth to feel vibration and then let it run into the next sound that you want - /m/ is voice on and is easier to produce that /g/ (/k/ is a v voice off sound) let me know how that goes

[@TheSpeechScoop]

@@kamilegulec6750 okay great, so it sound like the "zay and zee" sounds that she is saying - they are actually the correct placement on the tongue, but the voice is on - meaning that if you feel her neck when she is saying that first sound, you will fell the vocal cords vibrate; so we want to practice saying "voiceless" sounds like /s/ and /h/ and /p/ where the vocal cords/neck are NOT vibrating and then try turning the voice off when producing "sh" and "ch" - it should be an easy fix as soon as she can tell the difference!
