CONCLUSION: 4- to 6-year-old children still produce many phonemes in an unsystematic way, occurring speech changes such as replacement and omissions. Factors that might have influenced the results, such as, the research site, economic class and individual characteristics, that should be taken into account. Other studies of phonological acquisition are needed, contributing to early intervention programs and preventive actions in the school environments. (Source: Revista CEFAC)
