Welcome to the Articulation Section!

To make this sound, loosely bite the lower lip with the two top front teeth and gently blow. You do not use your voice when making this sound, only air comes out of the mouth. This is a good sound to start with because you can see your teeth touching the bottom lip.
Just practice the sound you are targeting. For example, if you want to practice /f/, then say the sound 10 times twice each day. Just be sure NOT to add a syllable after the sound. Practice "f-f-f-f", not "fah".
Next add the syllable. Work on the sound in one position - in the beginning of words, "face", middle of word, "coffee" or end of words, "leaf". Pick one position (beginning, middle, or end) and get comfortable before moving to another position.

Beginning
fah
fay
fee
figh
fo
fu

Middle
ahfah
ayfay
eefee
ighfigh
ofo
ufu

End
ahf
ayf
eef
ighf
of
uf

If syllables are now easy and pronounced right, it's time to move to words. Practice words in the position you are targeting. If you have targeted the sound in the beginning of words, then find 10-20 words and practice them using different types of games.
If you're ready to move on, put the target words into phrases and sentences. You can make up phrases and sentences, or use pattern sentences like "I want a _____."
Listen for the correct sound during normal conversation. If it is mispronounced, call attention to it and repeat to correct it.
Start over with another position of the same sound.
