Speech Therapy -> Phonology -> Gliding

Gliding

A very common process where the liquid sounds /l/ and /r/ are replaced by /w/ or /y/. For instance, leaf becomes weaf or yeaf, and red becomes wed or yed. Liquid glides are later developing sounds and so are not really considered speech sound errors in younger children, but more as a natural process.
