Your son needs speech/language therapy. If he is using one-word utterances, he is severely delayed and will not respond to correction by you.
Ask his pediatrician to refer him to a pediatric speech/language pathologist for assessment and therapy TODAY! If you can't afford private therapy, US school districts are required by law to help your child. You can go to the principal at your neighborhood school and ask for an evaluation. This really needs to begin before he starts kindergarten; he can be enrolled in Head Start and will have priority because he has special needs.
I can't tell you why he repeats the last sound of a word without evaluating him myself; sorry.

I would rather try to help and answer your questions, than comment previous posts…
From my opinion he might do better with visual stimulation. His brain will react differently if he SEE the words and make words by combining letters together by him in a play environment. Do not correct him (in his mind he says everything right), but have handy letters for him to “make” the right word. It is plenty of fun but specially designed games to correct this issue. Start with simple 3 letters words and make him comfortable with them first, after he gains a confidence you can ask for more complex words.
See the resources box for some ideas:

First thing you can do is lead by example. It is obvious that YOU cannot spell, or form a sentence. How do you expect your child to do better than children his own age, if you yourself only show the education level of a sea cucumber? You are obviously retarded, and as the first guy said...it's probably genetic.
I'd be glad to burn my last few points pointing out how thin skinned and educationally bankrupt you are. I only hope your child will break free of the shackles of ignorance, and learn. Unlike you, he still has a chance to get better. You on the other hand are too far gone to ever claim a brain.

I would not pressure him. Since he has a diagnoses delay in this area, i would just give him plenty of reassurance and time to develop. If you would like some emotional support, try this message board http://www.lets-yada-yada-yada.com/register.php?referrerid=2318 The women here are wonderful and many have children with different delays, and they are very supportive, knowledgeable, and encouraging!

I am not sure what you are saying but I think the best way to handle it is to just talk with him all the time...talk while driving, shopping, and everything else....Don't correct him, why don't you just repeat the sentence back to him correctly, but don't tell him he said it wrong. If he hears correct language all the time he is more likely to learn it....and talk to your pediatrician about any concerns....
