What is weak syllable deletion?
Weak syllable deletion is a common phonological process in children's early speech development where they omit unstressed syllables in multisyllabic words. For example, a child might say "nana" for "banana" or "puter" for "computer". This phonological process is usually resolved by age 4. If it persists past this age, then it can be addressed in speech therapy.
