But, to prove that we can move with the times, I’m now training myself and my team to use the revised framework, using a silly memory trick I developed, based on simple mnemonics. the late eight: ‘sh’, ‘th’ (as in ‘bath’), ‘th’ (as in ‘bathe’), /s, z, l, r/ and ‘zh’ (as in ‘vision’).Īgain, there is significant overlap between Shriberg’s framework and McLeod & Crowe’s study outcomes.Ĭlinically, it will be difficult to stop thinking in terms of the early, middle and late eight because it’s such a simple tool.the middle eight: /t/, ‘ng’, /k, g, f, v/, ‘ch’, and ‘j’ and. ![]() the early eight: /m, b, y, n, w, d, p/ and /h/.(b) Teaching old dogs new tricks – how we’re learning the new frameworkĬlinically, at Banter, we used to group English consonants into the three categories suggested by Dr Shriberg in 1993: You’ll note that they weren’t a mile away from McLeod and Crowe’s conclusions in 2018, although there are some important differences – notably the timing for the acquisition of /r, v/ and the ‘th’ sounds. /r, v/ and ‘th’ (voiced and voiceless), and blends of two sounds (e.g./s, z, l/ ,’sh’, /f, h/ and ‘ch’ by 4 1/2 years of age and./m, n, w, b, p, g, k, h, y, d/ and /t/ by 3 years of age. ![]() ![]() Way back in 1978, Kilminster and Laird reported that 75% of children they tested acquired: We all stand on the shoulders of leading researchers, and McLeod and Crowe’s review is – by it’s very nature – an attempt to synthesise some of the great studies that have been published to date. But it’s also important not to over-react or to ‘throw the baby out with the bath water’, simply because we have a new study. It’s always important to consider clinical changes based on important new evidence. How is this new research changing our clinical practice? Aren’t they pretty? And wouldn’t it be great for everyone if all academics did this? (Hint, hint academic friends reading this!) 3. ![]()
