This point was one I raised in my Module 1 assignment. I have been asked to contribute it to the discussion group.I have observed how a range of speech problems contribute greatly to a child’s ability to read or spell. The most common one I have found is substituting the ‘th’ sound, particularly at the beginning of words for the ‘f’ or ‘v’ sound. Resulting in the word the becoming ‘ve’ , three becomes ‘free’ and so on. Also many children including my own son have difficulty with the ‘c’, ‘k’ and ‘g’ sound many of them can make this sound and can do so in words such as words such as walk, duck and dog. But for the initial sound words such as coat become ‘toat’, kitten becomes ‘titten’ and goat becomes ‘doat’. When it comes to written work many children experience spelling difficulties because they write the words as they pronounce them.
