Production: To make the /sh/ sound, begin with your mouth slightly open bring the tip of your tongue to the small ridge just behind the front teeth. Lower your tongue slightly so it is not touching the roof of your mouth. The corners of the lips are pulled together so the lips pucker. This is a voiceless sound, which means that the sound comes from air that travels through the mouth when vocal cords do not vibrate. Push the air out of the front of your mouth. If you were to place your hand on it, you will not feel your throat vibrate.
Tips for producing the /sh/ sound: peachiespeechie.com/videos
- If your child can produce a good /s/ sound or a good “ee” sound we can shape/teach the /SH/ sound starting from one of these sounds.
/sh/ from /s/
- Have your child say /s/ (ssssssssss).
- While you child is saying the /s/ sound, have them pucker their lips slightly and move their tongue back slowly until you hear a good SH sound.
/sh/ from “ee”
- Have your child say “ee.” Then have them say “ee” in a whisper with no voice.
- While whispering the “ee” sound have your child move their lips into a pucker position. This should result in a SH sound.
