Speech practice


Riley has a bit of a issue with the 'th' sound... it comes out as 'f'. We've been practicing, having her poke her tongue out. Here is a little bit of practice for you to watch.

So cute. I love th-firty

Similar to my Dads efforts teaching elliott to say Thomas instead of Borris (E replaces consanants he can't say with 'b'). It went a bit like this...

Grand poo-bah: "Elliottt, say t t t thomas"

Elliott: "t t t borris"

I can't see the video for some reason, but our Beryl has the same issue. I can relate to the th-th-th-firty mentioned above!

After lots of practise, Beryl's now mastered words beginning or ending with "th" but still can't get her mouth around it in the middle of a word.
