My daughter has a difficult time pronouncing the "th" and "sh" letter combinations. Her "th" words come out sounding like "f" words, for example she says "free" instead of "three", "fink" instead of "think." For her "sh" words they just come out sounding like "s" words, "shout" sounds like "sout." This is starting to hurt her when it comes to math, at least for the "th" sounds because when she says her thirties, it sounds like her forties. So when she counts or adds money for school-work, she will sometimes entirely skip her forties because when she says her thirties, she can hear that it's coming out like the forties, and this is confusing her. So she's aware that her thirties are coming out with a beginning "f" sound instead of "th" but she isn't able to fix it. Does anyone know of any exercises or work we can do at home to help her learn to say her "th" and "sh" combinations?
