Understand Your Child’s Speech Sound Journey (Ages 2–6)

A simple, playful checklist to give you clarity and peace of mind about your child’s growing communication skills.

Many children learn sounds in their own time, through play, chatter, and everyday discovery. This checklist gives you a clear guide to typical speech sound milestones between ages 2 and 6.

It’s not about ticking every box or keeping up with others, it’s about noticing progress, celebrating wins, and knowing when extra support might be helpful.
