How do you teach P and B sounds?

Say the sounds /p/ and /b/ alternately so that the child can feel the difference of voiced sound (b) versus unvoiced sound (p). Let the child try to grunt and say the /b/ sound for a longer duration, as in- /bbbbbbbbaaaaaaa/. Slowly get them to shorten the sound. Contrast this with short bursts of /pa/.

How do you tell the difference between B and P?

The main difference between /b/ and /p/ is that /b/ is a voiced sound, whereas /p/ is just produced by the puff of air. Also, /b/ is pronounced with less air released than /p/, and this can sometimes be a more useful distinction as it is difficult to feel the vocal cords vibrating when making the /b/ sound.

Is the letter P voiced?

Many consonant sounds come in pairs. For example, P and B are produced in the same place in the mouth with the tongue in the same position. The only difference is that P is an unvoiced sound (no vibration of the vocal cords) while B is a voiced sound (vocal cords vibrate).

How do you pronounce Pe?

Break ‘PE’ down into sounds: [PEE] + [EE] – say it out loud and exaggerate the sounds until you can consistently produce them.

What is the b sounds?

The ‘b sound’ /b/ is a voiced stop (the vocal cords vibrate while producing it). It is the counterpart to the unvoiced ‘p sound’ /p/. To create the /b/, air is briefly prevented from leaving the vocal tract by closing the lips. The sound is aspirated when the air is released.
