Plosives are…
sounds where airflow is blocked momentarily e.g d,g,b (voiced) and t,p,k (unvoiced)

l
In what phoneme type is the airflow partially blocked and in a steady stream
Fricatives such as th and f (unvoiced) and z (voiced)
Approximants are..
similar to vowels e.g r,w,j
In Grunwell’s sequence what sounds are acquired earliest at approx. 24 months
voiced plosives like b,d,g along with some nasals like m and the unvoiced plosive t
what phonemes are developed last in Grunwells sequence?
Fricatives like th and affricatives along with approximants like r
What are the seven early phonological errors?
Deletion
Substitution
Addition
Assimilation
Reduplication
Consonant cluster reduction
Deletion of unstressed syllables
What does deletion refer to?
The omitting of the last consonant in words
