/K/ Words for Speech Therapy

Start with just 5 words at a time. Short, focused practice sessions (5-10 minutes) are more effective than long ones.

Say each word slowly and clearly so your child can hear the /K/ sound. Exaggerate the sound slightly.

Practice words in all three positions (initial, medial, final) but focus on whichever position your child finds easiest first.

Once individual words are easy, combine them into short phrases and sentences for carryover practice.

Use a mirror during practice so your child can see their mouth movements and compare them to yours.

Keep it fun — turn the word list into a game, use stickers as rewards, or practice during everyday activities.
