Helpful hints for good speech sound production:
/s/-tongue stays behind your teeth. Put your teeth together and make a sound like a snake.
/f/-teeth bite your bottom lip. Don't let go!! Now blow!
/th/-tongue goes between your teeth
/k/ and /g/-the "coughing sound" - put your hand on your neck to remind you where the sound comes from.
  /k/ is the quiet sound and /g/ is the loud sound.

To practice multisyllable words, clap for each syllable.
