Q:
How should I handle my 6 year old grandson's newly developed articulation problem?
In the past few years, after being around a child who was unable to pronounce r and l, my grandson would mimic this problem for a week or so and then return to normal clear articulation. Since starting kindergarten last month, he has begun to misarticulate r and l, and now does so almost all of the time. He is able to correctly pronounce the words after I pronounce them. Should I correct him each time? Should he be evaluated by a speech therapist for this late development of an articulation problem? His does not appear to have any hearing difficulty.
