What Is an Articulation Screening Quiz?

An articulation screening quiz is a preliminary assessment tool used to detect whether a person—child or adult—is producing speech sounds clearly and correctly. This test is not a diagnosis but serves as a first step toward identifying any red flags that may indicate the need for professional evaluation.

Common sound errors include:

• Saying “wabbit” instead of “rabbit” (sound substitution)
• Dropping final sounds, like saying “ca” for “cat”
• Difficulty pronouncing sounds like /r/, /l/, /s/, or /th/

This quiz is especially useful for parents, educators, caregivers, and adults who want a convenient and accessible way to check for potential articulation issues.
