Elklan. Speech and Language Support for 3-5s%u00a9 Elklan Training Limited 2023 200S99.1.0 ARTICULATING SPEECH SOUNDS(Slide 263)%u2022 Use slide 263 as you explain the articulation of sounds.9.1.1. Demonstrate the articulation of some speech sounds%u2022 Ask %u2018How do you articulate a %u2018d%u2019 sound?%u2019%u2022 Encourage learners to make the sound and describe what they are doing. %u2022 Act on these contributions to explain how the sound is made by repeating clearly what the learner says and demonstrating with your hands and using slide %u2018Oral structures used to articulate speech%u2019. Try to portray the sequence involved.For example:%u2022 The tongue is up behind your teeth and the sides are up around the sides of your top teeth.%u2022 You have to shut off your nasal cavity by raising the soft palate - show on slide. %u2022 You have made a dam in your mouth - can you feel there is nowhere for the air from your lungs to go? %u2022 You release the tongue or the %u2018dam%u2019 and a sound is emitted as an explosion of air %u2018d%u2019. The sound is brief and is referred to as a %u2018short%u2019 sound.%u2022 What about your voice box? Put your hands around your neck. Say %u2018d%u2019.%u2022 What do you feel? The voice box vibrates as you say the %u2018d%u2019 sound making it a %u2018loud%u2019 sound.9.1.2. Repeat for:%u2022 Plosive /t/ - explain the need to switch the voice box on and off very quickly e.g. to say %u2018ten%u2019. Many young children cannot sequence the movements required quickly enough and so they say %u2018den%u2019 instead.
