Thanks for this video... My 4 year old learnt his k sound watching your video... Thanks again... It means a lot as a parent 😊
Howmany days
Thanks for the clear examples of some great ideas. I also recently learned to check first if they can say /ng/ and will use that sound at the end of a word to facilitate the /k/ production. eg wingka. If they can do that for a while focusing on the /k/ sound they are able to get a feel for how to produce the sound.
Having just graduated with my master's degree in speech-language pathology, I must say your channel is such a treasure trove of knowledge. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us on UA-cam, Carrie! I hope you continue making a positive impact on your community and your clients for years to come. :)
Thank you for the tips. My four year old really struggles with the k-sound, so I think this will help a lot. Another tip I read was to cheat them into making the k-sound, by making them say a fake word, by inserting an L:
Like: Clat.
That way, 'tat' can become cat or clat. In any case, it provoke a k-sound.
Still, can't wait to try out those tips.
Again, thank you :)
Carrie, bless you for taking the time and making the effort to put these online. Whenever I introduce letter sounds, I check to make sure students are making them correctly and I was completely stumped on how to teach these two sounds when I hit a speech roadblock. I have not run across the /c/k/g/ problem before. Very interesting! Thank you for such an informative video!!
All of your materials are so well-made and practical, Carrie! They've been a huge help to me as a CF! Thank you!
I love being able to see you demonstrate the techniques! I will use these next week!
Thank you so much. My 2y 10 months old daughter just said G and K. I watched your video 2 weeks ago and the lollipop method worked immediately. We practiced with the lollipop for a few days and then switched to finger and sometimes even pencil or whatever was near and usable. Just 2 weeks!!! I'm so happy and thankful. Wish I'd found your video sooner.
Thank you for so clearly walking me through this!!! The help was exactly what I needed!
Amazing, I'm a new SLP and this really helped!
I want to thank you so much for your video. I practiced this with my little and she was so excited when she realized she COULD do it. We will be practicing this every day. Thank you again!
Such a fantastic short and straight to the point video. I started using tongue depressors for the Guh sound and didn't know if it was the right or wrong thing to do, having failed on a couple of other options mentioned in this video. I'm so pleased I found this video as I was correct to use this technique and will keep using it until that Guh sound is there.
I'm so glad I found this video! Thanks for these tips: I'll be trying them out with my TEFL students as we tackle /c/ /k/ and /g/.
I have used this technique only three times and my client is producing /k/ in isolation with no lolli at 78% accuracy. Far better than the 3% she started at! I used a bubblegum pop the first time, to help keep the jaw open, and then Dum Dums for our last 2 sessions. She now begins with the sucker outside of her mouth and is treated and is treated after her trial. Thanks for posting...on to the /g/ sound soon!
Thank you. I am a grandmother helping my grandson for the summer. This is very helpful.
I love it! Thanks for being so animated as well!
Thank you for the helpful strategies! Definitely going to try these with my clients!
Thank you so much for sharing! I just started with my very first client as a graduate student clinician and he's fronting. I am definitely going to try out some of these elicitation strategies during our next session!
Currently have an ESOL student who is having the hardest time produce these sounds. I'm glad to see/hear that my intuition was correct about where the sound is produced and some of the tricks to use. I will try your other tricks and let you know how it goes in a couple weeks.
Looking forward to trying these techniques with my daughter when she wakes up!
Thanks for these great tips. I just started working with my 4 year old daughter on the /k/ and /g/ sounds. I like that there are so many tricks to work with. I'm hopeful.
I really appreciated all of the steps you list from ways to elicit the sound. Thank you for the variety of options to try. I will definitely give some of these a go with my students. :)
I'm trying to help my grandson who just turned 4. He has been taking speech therapy for a year and has improved the /g/ sounds seems to be difficult for him. Thank you for making these videos as they will be a great help!
Thank you for the great ideas! I am excited to try the lollipop strategy!
Great Video! Thank you for walking through the steps and demonstrating everything. very useful
These are really great ideas- and you are a fantastic teacher! Thank you!
Thank you! Will try some of these tips this week!
Oh this is awesome, thank you so much! I have been trying forever to find something that would work for the k, g, and c sounds.
Thank you these were super helpful as a an SLP grad student!
Thanks, Carrie! I'm a new SLPA so this is very helpful.
Thank you so much for this video. We've been struggling with "c/k and ga" for a while and this has helped so much.
thankyou so much, Im an SLT, but have not done speech work since graduation- and we didnt actually get taught this kind of thing, so its fantastic practical advice to have!
Loved your video. Maybe introduce auditory bombardment along with your techniques too? My student was fronting everything and we worked a great deal with minimal pairs and he finally became stimulable with k/g by the end of the year and quickly learned to use it in all positions:)
My 4 year old grandson is having a terrible time with the c and k sounds. I am so happy to have found your video. I am going to try these techniques today. Thank you
Such a brilliant and exceptional pronunciation demo. Thumps up!
Thank you for this video. Holding down his tongue has helped him be able to make the k & g sounds!
Im an SLP and discovered that some children learn these sounds more quickly at the end of the word, the same with the ch - otherwise I use the same cues that you do - great video tongue tip down
Excellent video. Will start using the tips ASAP!
Thank you so much! These are so clearly explained. ❤️
Thank you for sharing these ideas! The lollipop idea looks like good fun to motivate children!
GREAT VIDEOS! Thank you so much for taking the time to post for others
Very clear. I was going to make my own video, but yours is so well done that I decided to direct my parents to this video. Thank you!
thank you for all these good tips. I would be trying some with my client. Thank you!!!
These are great tips. I have used most of them and they really work.
Thank you for the practical suggestions!
This is a great video outlining different cueing strategies.
Thank you so much! This is so helpful to me as a classroom teacher to get started on some simple interventions.
That's a great idea, Montee! I'll try to make a video for
That one soon. In the meantime, try telling the child that his tongue is a snake and he had to keep it inside the cage (his mouth). Have him smile and say the sound with his tongue behind his teeth. If the tongue slips forward, tell him the snake is peaking out and he has to put it back in the cage.
My 5 yr old has been saying T istead of K for so long, and after 3 days of trying your techniques shes saying K 😱.. I'm amazed and also feel stupid then i didnt watch your video earlier 🙈
hi! specifically which technique did you use for your child to finally be able to say "K"?
I have a student with a severe k/ g problem , Still only 4.5 years old thu. I figured out the monster noise, open mouth and finger on the tongue techniques on my own but I like the lying on the back technique too! Great affirmation watching this though because I didn't know if my techniques were going to actually hinder or worsen the condition! Yay!
thank you for sharing and showing visually all these great tricks!!!
The lollipop is a great way to practice. Love what you're showing here.
The most problematic consonant sounds to Israeli pupils are the /r/ and /w/ sound
I'd love to see the R sound demonstrated.
Bunch of thanks... Amazingly helpful videos!
Thank you. Shared this with a parent!
Thank you for this, we are shielding at home and haven't been able to get to SLT for 10 weeks now and looks like we won't until September. So this is massively helpful!
Wow... I wish I had seen this back in 2014 when you posted it. Fabulous video and really clear explanation and tips. My support teachers are now loving your vids and really getting lots out of your support. We know that we will get our students to nail the k and g sounds. Thans heaps #fan.
Thank you SO much. These sounds are super tricky for my 5 year old and this has been very very helpful!!!!! Amazing.
Awesome, I'm so glad to help!
This is a great video! You have provided so many useful strategies!
Thank you! I'm going to use these tips on my kiddo. I appreciate this.
OMG you taught me his to teach my 4 1/2 yr old the k sound! She's been working with a therapist for almost a year with no result! The growling sound we did produced a k sound!!!! Excited!!
Yay !!!!!
I didn’t have any lollipops but I used a spoon to hold the tip of my son’s tongue down and got several good /g/ sounds in a row!!! 🤯 Thank you so much!
Thanks for such a clear explanation! My son was finally willing to try saying c and g all because of the lollipop! We got a few good sounds and I hope, with practice, he will get them consistently. Thanks again!
That's awesome!! Keep at it and I bet you'll see progress! It can take a while for it to become habit.
Very helpful for a therapist. Loved it!
Great tips! Thank you so much!!! Still working with my son, who is still struggling, but I feel hopeful with at least having some ideas for how I can help him!
Thank you very much for all the ideas! I look forward to trying them. :))
This was a good refresher of techniques I've used, as well as a couple with which I was unfamiliar, thanks!
Thank you. Always enjoy your videos
This was so helpful! One of my clients was able to make the sound from watching it!
Thanks. This was really helpful with some fun ideas to teach these sounds.
Thanks for sharing these tricks! I'm going to try these for my foster son.
hey Carrie.. thank you so much dear. ur video will surely help my child. god bless you..!
This was so helpful. Thank You for this video!
Thanks! I have a kid who can make k/g with a tongue depressor at the tip of the tongue, can make the growl (but we have not been able to shape a true k/g from this), and in medial and final POS he can say these sounds. Any suggestions to help him make it w/o tongue depressor in intial POS?
This is really helpful! Thank you!
Looking forward to trying these ideas out. Thank you.
This is really useful thank you! Trying this out on our little one now!!
Many thanks. These are vey good advices for little kids.
Thank you for sharing. This video is going to help me with class.
This is so helpful! Thank you!
Thanks so much for the different techniques!!
Thank you! Going to try these starting tomorrow with some kinders who are struggling.
This was so helpful and my son has benefited greatly from this video. He is 4 years old. He even asked to watch the video a few times because he wanted to learn it. I am proud of him and thankful for you for providing this great resource.
Oh that's wonderful!! It helps so much when the child is invested and wants to learn! Great job, Buddy! Great job working hard on your /k/ and /g/ sounds!
Aww, this is great. Thanks to this virus we've had to stop speech so thank you for posting these so we can keep working with our kids, even if years later!
This was really helpful. Thank you.
These are great tips. For some children who so not achieve success with these - I always try to find a facilitating context. Often a child will have a correct production somewhere - often in the final position. So I may work on that production preceded by different vowels and then try to get the velar followed by a vowel. For example, a...k and then a...k...a.
Great video! Thank you for sharing!
Oh my goodness! I can't thank you enough for this video...After I watched your video and tried this with my daughter, she was saying the "c" sound and words that begin with c in less than 30 min.... Soooo proud of her!
+susan Lynch YAY!! That's awesome!!

Susan Lynch
I ok e
Thank you so much! I tried these techniques and it worked.
Great video!
Fantastic!! Glad they worked for you!
Excellent video! Thank you so much.
These trick works awesome. I could see the difference in just 10 min.
Thanks Carrie.. Its really helpful....Thanks a lot
I am watching this video so that I can help my 13-year-old cousin with pronouncing /k/ and /G/. She speaks "T" instead of K and "D" instead of G.
I fear that she might get teased by her classmates or people around her. As she speaks so less and doesn't share or I don't know how to ask her and fear that she might lie to me about it, I don't want anything bad to happen to her. She is like a little angel to me. I have seen her crying quietly at night when the room lights turn off. Doesn't participate in any activity.
I was teased in school for this by the term "totli" that's the Hindi word for "misarticulation" which destroyed my self-confidence and took me time to build it back. I don't want this to happen to her.
I hope she can speak properly.
This is a great video and has already helped my 5 year old.
Thank you, going to try the lollipops!
Thanks very much for this really helpful strategies!
Hi carrie, I'm looking for an outline to print from this video regarding techniques. Anywhere on the website?
Really helpful tips, thank you!
Thank you, going to try the lollipops
Great tips. I can't wait to try these with my 5 year old that makes all his speech sounds at the front of his mouth.
This video is amazing and helpful!
