Correct Production
The g sound is a back sound. It is made by placing the back of the tongue against the soft palate in the back of the mouth.
If you’re wondering what the soft palate is, it is the little bit of soft roof area in the back of the mouth.
You can help your child practice by placing their tongue in the correct position against the soft palate using a tongue depressor.
Once you’ve located the soft palate with the tongue depressor then place the back part of your tongue against the soft palate.
You can also have your child or student practice their tongue placement and tongue tip in front of a mirror.
The g sound is also a voiced sound so your voice box or vocal cords should vibrate.
You can tell that their voice is turned on by touching your voice box on your neck and feeling it vibrate.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the g sound can be a hard g, such as before a consonant “glass” or before a back vowel (a, o, u) as in “goat” or at the end of a word like “log”.
A soft g is when the “g” sound makes the /j/ sound when the g sound is followed by the vowels (e, i, or y) such as “giant” or a word of Greek origin that begins with the letters gy- such as the word “gymnastics”.

Velar Fronting
Velar fronting is when a back sound such as the /g/ sound is made in the front of the mouth, such as the /d/ sound.
For example, your child or student might say the word “date” for the word “gate”.
If your child or student is velar fronting or in other words using the /d/ sound in place of the /g/ sound a great way to work on reducing the velar fronting is to use minimal pairs.
By using minimal pairs the child then practices the two sounds side by side and practices hearing and producing the different sounds.

Language Skills
Do you have a group of students who need both language therapy and articulation for the g sound?
If so, here are a few ideas to do language skills alongside g articulation therapy.
- Speech Therapy Articulation Fortune Teller Origami by Speech Therapy Store – Not only can you work on the g sound as well as a ton of other sounds it’s fun! Have your language students work on following directions, requesting materials (scissors, paper, etc.), and practice taking turns.

Auditory Bombardment
Sometimes the first thing a language therapist or speech-language pathologist might do to work on a new sound for a child with an articulation disorder at the elementary school level would be to work on auditory bombardment.
Auditory bombardment is when you say words with only speech sounds that the child or student is struggling with and provide correct production examples.
For example, if the child is working on the g sound you might read a list of 20 g words to the child so they can hear the correct production of that sound repeatedly.
See the list of g words above and start by saying 20 words to your child or student while producing the correct g sound to model and allow them to hear the correct production over and over again.
This is simply a listening activity for the child or student to give them the opportunity to hear the correct production of the sound they are struggling to produce themselves.
