A guide to help you understand when children typically learn different speech sounds.
What’s Included:
2-Page PDF
Colour and black-and-white versions.
Ideal for:
Parents: See which speech sounds are typically expected at different ages
Educators: Keep a quick reference guide handy in the classroom
Speech & Language Therapists: Share a clear, parent-friendly handout with families
A note about the ages:
The ages shown are based on research looking at when around 90% of children can say each sound (Crowe & McLeod, 2020). Children develop at different rates, so this chart is intended as a general guide rather than a strict timeline.
