what is a constant cluster? |
This is when a child reduces a set of consonants that are all together. For example, in the word ‘spider’, they may reduce the ‘sp’ digraph (two letters) by removing the ‘s’ from the cluster. |

|
what is assimilation ? |
This is when a sound later on in the word has an influence on other sounds in the word.For example, the /b/ sound in ‘rabbit’ might assimilate to the front-position of the word to form ‘babbit’. |

|
what is deletion? |
A child drops a consonant from a word when it is surrounded on one or both sides by vowels.This usually (but not always) occurs at the end of words. For example, a child may say /dɒ/ instead of /dɒg/ - they have deleted the end-position voiced velar plosive (/g/) from the word. |
