Hey Pancakes! by Tamson Weston

You make this sound at the very back of your mouth. Move the back of your tongue to make contact with your soft palate, or the back of your throat. Exhale & let air pressure build up behind that point of contact, and then when you release it you get a /k/ sound. If you also activate your vocal folds, you get a brief tone & it turns into a /g/.
Here are some simple ways to incorporate this sound into playing and talking at home:
1. Play with play-do or sand in the sandbox and talk about what you are making: “I’m making cupcakes”, “I’m making a house”.
2. Look around your house with your child and figure out what you can and cannot vacuum up. Some string? Will go in the vacuum. A shoe? Will not go in the vacuum.
3. Pretend you’re going on a trip, or maybe you’re going on a real trip, and talk about what you’re packing, “I’m packing shoes and a raincoat. I’m not packing my bicycle”
