Eliciting h, w, y sounds
Eliciting Correct Production of h, w, y SoundsEliciting /w/ SoundThe /h/ sound is an open-mouthed production with no real constriction present. Children should be able to make this sound at a very early age. To help with its production, a piece of tissue, paper, or a feather can be used to blow away from the mouth as the sound is made.
hair ham hand hard hat hawk hay head heart heel help hen here hi hide high hill hit hog hole home hood hook hoop hop horn horse hose hot hound hug hum *** Hi is an easy first word and greeting to socialize with others.
Eliciting /w/ SoundThe /w/ sound is made by rounding the lips and blowing air through the constriction. The lips may barely touch for this sound, but only barely as the /b/ or /p/ sound may result otherwise. one wad wag walk wall wand want wash wasp wave wax web weed well wet wide wig win wind wing wink wipe wire witch wolf wood wool worm wow
*** One is an early math concept.
Eliciting “y” SoundThe “y” sound is elicited by pulling the lips back in a smile and blowing air through the opened mouth.
yak yam yank yarn yawn yeast yell yes yolk you yucky yummy
*** Yes - a powerful early affirmation.
