Logopedic exercises for the production of speech in children. Speech therapy gymnastics for speech development

1. It is necessary to carry out articulation gymnastics in such a way as to see how each exercise is performed by each child.

The teacher tells, using game techniques, about the upcoming exercises.
Shows this exercise.
All children do this exercise.
The teacher checks the exercise in subgroups (no more than 5 people).

2. If the children perform some exercise not well enough, the teacher does not give new exercises, but works out the old material.

3. If the teacher sees that the group is basically coping with the exercise, and only some children do it not well enough, he conducts additional individual work with them or gives the task to parents to work out this movement at home, taking 2-3 minutes to complete it. daily.

4. For one lesson, 4-5 exercises are taken for 10-15 minutes.

5. Carrying out articulatory gymnastics, it is necessary to ensure that the movements of each organ of the articulatory apparatus are performed symmetrically with respect to the right and left sides. If a child's tongue or lips deviate to the left or right, then it is necessary to work out these movements individually, in front of a mirror. Fomicheva M.F. "Educating Children to Correct Pronunciation".

The first sounds and words of babies are very funny and provoke uncontrollable smiles in adults. But everyone abruptly stops having fun when they hear slurred phrases from schoolchildren or students. Communication is an essential part of every person's life. Expressing your thoughts in a structured way, correctly formulating answers to the questions asked, as well as speaking beautifully and correctly are skills that you should begin to strive for in early childhood.

Unfortunately, most parents do not devote much time to the process of speech development in children. Adults naively believe that it is too early for a child of 5-6 years old to go to a speech therapist, they say, all the defects will go away with growing up on their own. But there is a chance that speech problems will not disappear. Often, the incorrect pronunciation of sounds in an adult begins precisely with early “dropouts”.

A child with crooked speech is doomed to constant ridicule from the outside. And if you do not cope with the problem on time, then in adulthood he will become a terribly insecure, withdrawn and uncommunicative person. Today, speech therapists can correct the situation, offering a systematic development of speech with the help of special games and exercises. However, it is realistic to arrange training sessions for a child at home.

Types of speech defects

Before proceeding with exercises and classes, we recommend that you deal with the main types of violations in the pronunciation of sounds. A child's speech may be distorted due to:

Stuttering. The most common speech defect. It is possible to determine the presence of stuttering in a child closer to the age of 3 years, since in this period he begins to build the first large sentences. Classes with an experienced speech therapist in this case can not be avoided. The specialist will offer games to eliminate the defect and develop speech, which are guaranteed to give a positive result. Stuttering is an insidious problem. It is important not to give up classes with the child even after achieving success, because there are cases when the problem returned.
Dyslalia. A similar defect often occurs in a child of 3 5 years. If you do not go into science, then dyslalia is a confusion in the pronunciation of some consonant sounds (“l”, “r”, “w” and others). With this problem, it is worth contacting a speech therapist as soon as the crooked speech has become noticeable, preferably in the same year.
Nasal. This phenomenon is also classified as a defect, but the main root of the problem here is in the wrong structure of the speech apparatus. Having found a similar problem, be sure to contact an otolaryngologist, a speech therapist will not be able to help the child in this situation.
ONR (general underdevelopment of speech). By the age of 6, a child's speech should be coherent and interesting. If a preschooler experiences certain difficulties in speaking, then most likely the reason lies in the wrong approach to communicating with him. OHP is often found in babies whose parents lisped a lot, distorted endings and pronounced only diminutive forms of words. All this has created a huge "mess" in the child's head, which is why now the child already confuses the endings on his own and uses the wrong prepositions. You can eliminate the defect in time if you take the baby to a speech therapist up to 6 years old.
Neurological diseases. If you notice that exercising at home with your child does not bring any results, consult a qualified neurologist. It may require special treatment. It is important to note that a speech therapist will not be able to help your child with this problem.
ZRR (delayed speech development). By the age of 3-5, every average child begins to chat incessantly. If you notice that your baby has a small vocabulary, you should definitely visit a speech therapist to check his speech.

Observe your child and his speech. Regularly communicating with the baby, you will definitely notice the presence of any problems with the pronunciation of sounds. If you find any, be sure to make an appointment with a speech therapist, no matter how old the child is.

When to contact a speech therapist?

Each child is unique, so language development may vary slightly. Usually by the age of 5, the baby already knows how to:

Pronounce all existing sounds. An exception may be hissing, rarely "L".
Make up sentences of 5-7 words.
Understand the difference between singular and plural.
Describe things with an indication of their main qualities and characteristics.
Engage in dialogue with peers and adults.
Quickly say the name, surname and patronymic, your age.

If a child of 5 years old does not know how to do something from the list, it will be useful for him to attend several lessons of a speech therapist.

Speech therapy classes for childrenaimed at increasing vocabulary, developing fine motor skills and proper breathing, correcting defects in sound pronunciation.

It is worth saying that you should not immediately lead a child to a speech therapist. Children develop better at home. Here they feel more comfortable.

Home games for the development of speech

Speech therapy classes for children - purposeful communication with the baby in a playful way.

All existing exercises for the development of speech can be divided into 4 groups:

finger games;
articulation gymnastics;
onomatopoeia and logorhythmics;
games to expand the child's vocabulary.

Finger games for speech development

One of the most effective activities for the development of speech are exercises that involve the use of fine motor skills, since there is a close connection between the human limbs and the brain center responsible for pronunciation. In addition, such games are suitable for children with only developing speech, for example, at the age of 1 year.

The child will definitely enjoy the following exercises:

"Flower". In the initial position, form a bud from the closed palms, the fingers should be raised up, and the wrists should be strongly pressed. After the plant blooms - the fingers are bred in opposite directions. Performing the exercise, say: “The sun wakes up - the bud opens. The sun is tired - the flower goes to sleep.
"Kitty". The algorithm of actions of the exercise for the development of speech: clench your fists and lay them on the surface in front of you. After that, it is necessary to simultaneously unclench your palms and press firmly against the table. In the process, you need to pronounce: “The cam is a palm. I stomp like a cat." Repeat 3-5 times, changing pace.
"Hedgehog". The child will definitely enjoy this exercise. In the initial position, place your palms at a slight angle, interlace the fingers of both hands. In the process, move your even fingers and say: “A tiny cheerful hedgehog. How good are you."
"Bird and water". Children 5 years old are crazy about this exercise. Initially, you need to place your elbow on the table, raise your forearm and fold your fingers with a “pinch” - this will be the “beak”. When completing the task, lower the “beak” (the elbow is motionless) and touch the table. In the process, imitate the movements of the bird: draw water, straighten the neck, swallow. Accompany the exercise with a tongue twister: "Bent down, scored, lifted and swallowed."
"Chicks in the Nest". Gather the fingers of your left hand into a “pile” - these will be “chicks”. Make a ring with the fingers of your right hand - this will be the “nest”. Send the birds to the nest by changing the position of the hands in turn. Add text accompaniment: “Here are the chicks, and here is the nest. The chicks are warm inside.

Finger gymnastics with learning texts at home is an excellent alternative to regular trips to a speech therapist. Such games provoke the development of speech, teach to use spatial imagination and bring up the speed of reaction. After a short time, you will notice that the baby began to memorize texts better, speak more expressively.

Articulation gymnastics

Speech therapy classes for 5-6-year-old children must necessarily include articulation gymnastics, which is a complex exercise for warming up the tongue and lips. The ability of the baby to perform some of the movements necessary for the correct sound pronunciation depends on how trained and developed the tongue and lips are. To be effective with your child, be sure to use a mirror of the right size. The kid should see how his speech organs work. You do not need to be a speech therapist to show your child how to do the exercises correctly:

"Swing". Smile showing all your teeth. First lower the tip of the tongue to the lower teeth, then raise it and hide it behind the upper ones. It turns out a kind of swing. Ask the child during the game to repeat the exercise after you 4-5 times.
"Brushing our teeth." Toddlers by the age of 5 already know how to independently maintain cleanliness in the oral cavity. In this exercise, you need to simulate brushing and rinsing your teeth, but without using toothpaste and a brush. Starting position: smile with your mouth wide open. Next, you need to strain the tip of the tongue and clean the lower teeth with all your might from the inside, then lift the tip up and carefully work out the upper teeth. It is important that you do not close your mouth. Repeat the exercise 8-10 times. Now ask your child to close their mouth and "rinse" it.
"Jam". You need to smile with your mouth slightly open. Now ask the baby to lick the upper lip first, and then the lower lip with the tip of the tongue. After 10 repetitions, you need to change the direction of movement.

Regular repetitions of these simple speech therapy exercises will actively contribute to the development of speech in a 5-6 year old baby.

Onomatopoeia and logorhythmics

Classes with a speech therapist in the clinic often include a block of exercises for the formation of correct hearing. At home, you can easily create similar conditions to develop a child's speech and auditory perception with the help of simple exercises. All that is required is time, a phone or a computer with a speaker, improvised devices.

Games aimed at developing hearing:

"Ears". Take a few items made from different materials. Suitable metal and wooden spoons, glass and crystal glasses. Invite the child to listen to how these objects sound, then ask him to close his eyes and guess what this thing is only by ear.
"Meow". Find on the net a recording with the voices of animals known to your baby. Turn it on and ask your child to guess which of the animals the voice belongs to.
"The outside". Download the recording with the sounds of various vehicles. Invite the child to listen to it and say what kind of transport passed. For recognition, it is better to take familiar types of vehicles - a truck, car, motorcycle, tractor.
"Where are they making noise?" An excellent game for the development of spatial hearing. Sit the child in the center of the room and blindfold him. Take a bell and silently walk around it, periodically tinkling. The kid needs to identify the source of the noise by ear and point his hand in his direction.

Speech therapists for the development of hearing and speech often ask kids to imitate the voices of animals and birds, as well as everyday noises. Take turns saying “tic-tock”, “chik-chik”, “drip-drip”, “woof-woof”, “zh-zh-zh” and the like with the child.

Logorhythmics is a set of exercises that includes the simultaneous use of movement, speech and music (optional). With the help of such games, forming a child's speech is as easy as shelling pears. Remember the bull that walks and staggers. Speak the text, show the movements. Let the kid repeat after the adults. It will be fun for both the child and you.

Vocabulary expansion and speech development

For a child, speech development games, first of all, should be interesting. Tongue twisters are what you need for useful and productive communication in a playful way. Short rhyming phrases are easy to remember, which allows you to seriously expand your baby's vocabulary. A 5-year-old child uses passive and active dictionaries. The first consists of words that he understands, the second - of those that he often uses. To improve both dictionaries, be sure to include exercises with tongue twisters in speech development games.

To make speech therapy exercises easy for a child, and a positive result appears as early as possible, follow these simple recommendations:

Even without being a speech therapist by profession, explain to your child the meaning of classes. Tell that all games are aimed at developing his speech, and the ability to speak beautifully and clearly is an attribute of every adult.
Speech therapist games with children should be easy. If the child is carried away by what is happening, then he will direct all his forces in the right direction.
Limit the amount of time your child spends on speech development and other pre-school activities. It is desirable that the exercises be daily, but not more than 15 minutes each, since it is still difficult for a 5-year-old child to concentrate.
Praise kids for success. It will be much easier to instill a child’s interest in games for the development of speech if he is sure that he will not be punished, but supported.
Become a role model. The child develops speech from observations of your behavior. So always speak correctly, clearly and with expression.

No matter how old a child is, improving his speech and helping with all-round development is one of the most important duties of parents. An additional assistant in this difficult task can be the BrainApps service. The portal contains hundreds of highly effective simulators, classes on which will improve memory, attention, thinking and concentration of both adults and children. If you are tired of the usual games to develop the correct sound pronunciation, try to work out with your baby on the BrainApps simulators. The result will pleasantly surprise you and, probably, the child will not need a speech therapist.

Good day everyone! Today I want to talk about a very serious topic, like speech therapy classes with children 5-7 years old. After all, many attribute incorrect pronunciation to age. It will grow, we think. But it might turn out differently. Do you know about the troubles that sloppy speech entails in an adult?

First of all, it is a huge lack of confidence in yourself and your abilities. Just imagine! Such a complex will create problems anywhere! From finding a good job to success in your personal life. Let's correct, before it's too late, the wrong pronunciation of the children! We will study a number of interesting games, classes in the most common situations. Let's get started!

I propose to begin by considering the types of speech disorders. There are many of them, but each child has his own.

Stuttering. This is a fairly common occurrence. You can notice by the age of 3, at this time the first sentences begin to line up. It is important to immediately contact a good speech therapist. After all, no specialist guarantees that in a couple of years the problem will not return again ...
Dyslalia. The word is very clever! But behind this lies also a common problem for preschool children - the incorrect pronunciation of consonants. Especially often, this applies to "R", "L" and "Sh".
Nasal. Here, of course, the main role is played by the natural factor - the wrong structure of the speech apparatus. And it will be very good to visit an otolaryngologist to solve such a problem.
General underdevelopment of speech (OHP). Here, dear readers, close relatives of the baby are often the culprits. All sorts of lisping, insufficient communication leads to the fact that the child constantly confuses everything. I'm talking about word endings, confusion of prepositions, etc. This can have a bad effect later. After all, it's school soon!
Congenital pathologies of a neurological nature. Comprehensive treatment by a neurologist is already required.
With delayed speech development (SRR). Usually this manifests itself by the age of 3. After all, at this time, the children are babbling non-stop! Therefore, in the case of a short vocabulary, contact a specialist without delay!

Give worthy attention to the little one. Control your child's speech. And in case of gaps, seek help from a doctor!

When should I take my child to a speech therapist?

I don’t even know why, but today the number of children with sound pronunciation problems has increased dramatically. Tell me, how much time a day do you devote to reading, and how much to watching TV together? One of the reasons I see is the global interest of children (almost from the cradle) in technical means. The kids don't talk much. There is no desire for this. What for? After all, there are so many interesting things around, and concentrated in one place: on TV.

As a result, we ourselves can miss that golden moment in order to send the child to a specialist. There is an unspoken rule among speech therapists: the sooner the better. That's right, it should be solved right away. Forgive me for the comparison, but if you get a dress dirty and leave it for a long time without washing, what will happen? Of course, there is a risk that the stain will eat in and not be washed off. So here.

The peak of visits falls on children 4 - 5 years old. Right now they have to pronounce complex consonants, build sentences with logic. More precisely, even texts involving elementary words. There must be consistency in his stories. Take the test by asking the child to retell the simplest picture. Did not work out? Then see a specialist!

When an accurate diagnosis is made, you will start attending classes that will definitely give results. But don’t be lazy at home either, do it in a playful way, at least for 20 minutes. Just don’t force it, kids don’t like it! And I will tell you what exercises you can do at home, depending on the problem.

For the pronunciation of sounds

Those who have already encountered this side of the coin know that the sounds R, L and Sh are the most insidious. If the child simply does not pronounce them (losing them in a word), this is not the time yet. And when he begins to pronounce other, simpler letters instead of them, a reason to think.

Here are some exercises to keep in mind. They are of an articulatory nature, for the correct formation of the tongue, palate, lips. In general, the entire articulatory apparatus.

Learning to speak R clearly! I really enjoy these activities:

Open your mouth wide and smile. The lower jaw is motionless, and the tip of the tongue is raised up, as if stroking the palate back and forth. Recommendation: do it yourself first so you understand the principle. So, it will be easier to convey the essence to the child!
We brush our teeth with the tip of the tongue from the inside. The mouth is wide open. See how easy it is! A five-year-old child will do without difficulty.
And yet, an interesting option. Put a small ball on a wooden stick, the child opens his mouth and says DDRRR. You, at this time, drive this instrument under the tongue. Movements must be made quickly.
Ask to say "YES", while the tongue rests on the teeth. "DY" - in the upper palate.

Watching this video will help you pronounce the sound "R".

Learning to pronounce L:

Open your mouth wide, put your tongue on your lower lip, holding your chin, pronounce La, Lo, Li, Lu.
To drive the tongue across the palate, as if we are painting it.
And let him try to touch the tip of the nose with his tongue.
We lick the imaginary jam from the lips.

Now the problematic letter Sh:

Insert the tip of the tongue under the upper lip, and tear it off sharply, with a click.
The lips should be rounded by stretching them forward. Keep it up for 6 seconds.
Take a piece of cotton wool, put it on the baby's nose. And let him try to blow it off so that it flies up. This is a fun exercise that will definitely be appreciated by the child.

And here is a selection for every day, for the pronunciation of clear speech.

Learning to speak clearly

At 5 - 7 years old, a child is already able to repeat many exercises after a parent or teacher. But some of them are more complex. I tried to put together the simplest and most effective. By the way, they are perfect for kids with ONR.

Articulation gymnastics

Smile so that your teeth are visible. And then we pull the sponges into a tube.
Tighten your lips as much as possible. Gently relax.
Bite your upper and lower lip alternately with your teeth.
The clatter of hooves. This is a well-known action. The kids will surely love it!

15 minutes is enough time. By the way, such corrective manipulations are perfect not only for children, but also for any people with impaired sound pronunciation.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Here are a few more examples of correcting the development of speech formation:

Everyone knows how babies cry? So let's play this sound: Wa, Wa.
Let's drink like mice: Pi, Pi.
And how do we make noise when we get lost in the forest? Ay, ay!
A strong wind howled: Oooo.
And now a combination of vowels and consonants. Imitation of animal calls: Meow, Mu, Kwa, Ko-Ko, Ga-Ga.
Bear growls: RRR.
We sing a voice: La-la, la-la-la.

Singing, by the way, is very useful. Choose a song that your child likes. Perhaps timed to coincide with the next holiday. And they also like “Two funny geese lived with a grandmother”, “There was a birch in the field”. At first glance, they are simple, but the words flow smoothly there, which is very important for corrective work. By the way, kindergarten teachers use this. There are definitely music lessons. But developmental activities with a speech therapist are also present there.

Classes in kindergarten

Tell me, does your child go to kindergarten? If so, how are speech therapy classes conducted there? In the garden where our Dominik goes, there are 2 types:

Individual. When a child has a certain problem.
Group (front). A group of children with similar defects gathers.

Ideally, this should be the case in all preschools. But 5 - 7 years old, this is already a preparatory group. After all, it's school soon! What are the good things to do here? One of these are chants. And these are not simple songs, as you might think. This is singing and performing certain actions synchronously.

Here is the simplest option: "the plane is flying." Children sing to the tune of UUUUU, arms should be spread like wings. The teacher directs their actions:

We buzz with different volumes (the plane flies farther, then flies closer).
Broken. When making the sound UUUU, the kids hit themselves with their palms in the chest.
Landing. Performing UUUU, spreading their wings, the children each run to their high chair.

Very interesting manipulations with the microphone. The kids hear their own voice, while they either remove the microphone away, or bring it closer to themselves.

There are many troubles, of course. But now, most of them are solvable. Even those called ZPR or ZPRR.

The diagnosis of ZPR is not a sentence

There are parents who think and invent defects for their child. It is not for nothing that people say: “It is better to overdo it than not do it for nothing.” But there are those who point blank do not see anything wrong. But by the age of 5, a child should already be able to express his thoughts in understandable phrases. Do not confuse syllables in words.

There are several diagnoses that lead parents to a stupor.

ZRR. When only the word pronunciation is underdeveloped, but mentally the child is fine. It is good if it is revealed before 4 - 5 years, since then another stage begins: zprr.
ZPRR delayed psychoverbal development. When involved in the process and the psyche of the child, his mental abilities.
ZPR, this is just a mental development. The speech apparatus also suffers, but the basis here is the baby's psyche.

I will not talk about the reasons that induce such states. But, if this happened, then the rule of speech therapists (and all other doctors!) Is respected here. And it says: "The sooner the better." I hope you understand that, as in any disease, there are more complex forms.

Be sure to find a good specialist who will find a common language with the baby. Most likely, here it is necessary to connect a neurologist. But first of all, keep a good emotional background at home. Believe me, a lot depends on this. Well, now I’ll write recommendations on exercises with ZPR.

Literature

For any defects in sound pronunciation, you must have the right books at home. They are written by competent authors. And in combination with visits to speech therapy lessons, they will definitely help you cope!

"Speech therapy homework for children aged 5-7 with ONR" Teremkova N.E. This is album No. 1, there are 4 of them in total. And each is dedicated to certain lexical topics.
"Speech therapy group: game classes with children 5-7 years old" Derbina A.I. The best way to get your child interested in learning is to play with them. This manual is built in a playful way. And it is intended for children with complex defects.
“Lessons of a speech therapist. Games for the development of speech» Kosinova E.M. As you can see, here, too, everything is built on the elements of the game. What I liked was the allowance from 6 months to 6 years old! And collected here are finger games, and material on articulatory gymnastics.
“Encrypted tongue twisters. Candy" Kodolbenko E.A. Remember from childhood: "Sasha walked along the highway and sucked dry"? Here is a very similar manual, with funny tongue twisters that will appeal to the little reader.
"Merry logorhythm" Zheleznova E. This is an audio guide. What has not been invented to interest the child! But most importantly, it really does work! Funny poems for the development of speech and attention, exercises for large motor skills and rhythm.

I hope these manuals will become your real homework helpers with little fidgets. Tell us, what measures to eliminate speech defects do you know? How are you doing? What are you reading for this? Share your experience by leaving comments. And subscribe to blog updates! See you soon. Bye!

The exercises are intended not only and not so much for specialists, but for general teachers and parents of children who have speech development disorders in the form of unintelligibility of speech, deficiencies in sound pronunciation, etc. They can also be used by specialists working in the field of rehabilitation education of patients who have undergone stroke or traumatic brain injury and having as a consequence of a violation of the pronunciation side of speech.

Logopedic massage

1. Collar area
2. Facial muscles
3. Lip
4.Language
5. Soft palate

Massage of the collar zone, facial muscles, including lips, is performed according to the same rules as a regular cosmetic massage.
The tongue is massaged from its root to the tip with a special probe or other object, for example, a rounded plastic toothbrush handle. Almost all types of massage movements are used: stroking, kneading, patting, vibrating, etc. The soft palate and temples are massaged from top to bottom.

At the same time, an important rule must be observed: if the massaged muscles are sluggish, relaxed, then the massage should be active, intense; if the muscles are tense, then you should start with a relaxing massage performed with light stroking movements, and only as the muscles relax, try
penetrate deep.

Speech therapy gymnastics

(Performed in front of a mirror; the teacher and the student sit so that both are visible to everyone. The dosage and pace of movements increase gradually as it is mastered.)

1. Stretch - stretch.
Instructions: Stretch lips into a smile so that all teeth are visible, and stretch into
tube to make a proboscis.
2. Squeeze - release.
Instructions: Tightly compress the lips (“mouth lock”), and then gently dissolve them.
3. Fold down the mouthpiece.
Instruction: You need to do it the way I did to get a "mouthpiece".
4. Bite your lower lip with your upper teeth.
Instructions: You need to do it the way I do.
5. Bite your upper lip with your lower teeth.
Instructions: the same.
2. Language:
1. Spread over the lower lip and hold, gradually extending the holding time.
Instruction: "It is necessary that the language lies like mine." If the muscles of the tongue remain tense, lightly tap the tongue with a spatula.
How to do it: Spread the tongue over the upper lip and hold without supporting it with the lower lip, gradually extending the holding time.
If the patient is unable to raise the tongue on his own, it can be supported with a special probe. To make it easier to keep your mouth open, you can eat something from the sides, such as sugar cubes.
Gradually, the patient must learn to keep his mouth open without assistance.
Make circular movements with your tongue (lick your lips).
2. Move the tongue from one corner of the lips to another (in the air, not on the lower lip), gradually extending the holding time.
Instruction: "You need to move the tongue from one corner of the mouth to the other so that the tongue does not slide over the lip, but through the air."
Method of implementation: If the patient cannot perform the exercise on his own, you should clamp the tip of the tongue with a special spatula or with your fingers and move it (passive version of the task).
3. Clicking (sucking tongue).
Performed by imitation.
4. Clicking (imitation of the clatter of a horse's hooves).
Performed by imitation.
5. Raise the tongue to the alveoli and vigorously pronounce "D, D, D ...", keeping the mouth open (2 cm wide).
Instruction: "Get your tongue (those) behind the upper teeth of the tubercles and hit (those) in them with the coccyx of the tongue." For children, this exercise can be referred to as "Hammer" or
"We're hammering nails."
Method of execution: With the mouth open, the tip of the tongue pronounces the alveolar (toothed) "D" or "YES, YES, YES ...". To prevent the mouth from closing, you can fix the gap (see exercise 1).
6. Holding the tongue near the alveoli of the upper teeth, blow on it, connecting the voice, so that a sound is average between "3" and "F".
Instructions: “Feel for the tubercles behind the upper teeth with your tongue, lift your tongue and blow on the tongue, like me. For children, this exercise can be referred to as "Bee".
Method of execution: With the mouth open, the tip of the tongue should vibrate from the air stream falling on it. To prevent the mouth from closing, you can fix the gap (see exercise 1).
7. Drive the tongue across the upper palate - rest against the teeth and resist an attempt to push it back with a special spatula or some other object, such as a teaspoon.
Instruction: “Put (those) tongue in the upper teeth and press (those) on them. I will push him back, but you (you) do not give in, resist me.
Method of execution: With the mouth open, the tip of the tongue should rest against the upper teeth.
The teacher with a ball probe, a teaspoon or a finger tries to push it back, deep into the mouth.

Correction of sound pronunciation

1. Imitation of non-speech noises comparable to vowels:
Howling wind - uuu...
Crying baby - wah, wah, wah...
Roll call, lost in the forest: AU, AU, AU...
The squeak of a piglet or a mouse: And, And, And ...

2. Imitation of non-speech noises comparable to consonant sounds (clear,
exaggerated pronunciation):
Mooing of a cow - MU, MU, MU ...
Cat's meow: MEOW, MEOW, MEOW...
Dog barking: AB, AB, AB...
Frog croaking: KVA, KVA, KVA...
Cackling chicken - KO, KO, KO...
The cackle of geese - GA, GA, GA ...
Singing a song - LA, LA, LA ...; PA, PA, PA...; DO, DO, DO...
The sound of a balloon being pierced: CCC...
The sound of a flying mosquito: ZZZZZ...
Rustling of leaves: Sh Sh Sh...
The sound of an approaching train - CHUK, CHUK, CHUK ...
Hooting eagle owl - UV, UV, UV...
Wild Beast Roar: RRR...
The cry of a rooster - COOK...

If the sounds are caused by imitation, then you can start automating them in syllables.
To do this, below are syllable tables in which sounds are systematized according to
method and place of education. If in this way to get correctly pronounced
sounds failed, then you should contact a speech therapist who will put them, and
then automate.

Syllabary tables:

The tables are compiled in such a way that the automated sound is in different
phonetic contexts: direct syllables - hard and soft; reverse syllables; syllables with
delimiter soft sign.

MA
MO MYO MYO PO PE DRINK BO BYO BYO
MU MU MU PU PU P BU BY BY
WE MI MI PY PI DRINK BE B BE

Speech development is the most important process for every child. Its features determine not only the ability to express one's thoughts, but also the ability to communicate effectively with others, and affect the success of schooling. That is why it is so important to conduct speech therapy classes with children of five to six years. It is good if parents not only use the help of specialists, but can also independently organize classes with the child at home.

Typical speech disorders in children 5-6 years old

Most older preschoolers have difficulty with:

mastering sonorous and hissing sounds;
sound analysis of words;
development of narrative speech;
writing stories and descriptions.

Of course, such problems can be minor, only slightly different from the age norm, and serious, up to. It is necessary to contact a speech therapist in any case, but the supportive work of parents at home is also very important.

It is worth noting that it is useful to carry out regular speech therapy exercises and classes for children 5-6 years old at home for each child, because they help to quickly learn to read and write.

Rules for speech therapy classes at home

The success of home lessons depends not only on the availability of the necessary manuals and a work plan agreed with a speech therapist. The organization of classes is very important. Here are a few simple rules to help you achieve great results:

All speech therapy exercises for children should be carried out regularly, but a little bit. Do not try to do articulatory gymnastics right away, play speech games, fill out a workbook. It is better to devote a few minutes to each type of exercise, and not arrange a whole "speech therapy day".
Do not force them to complete tasks “under duress”, developmental activities for children should resemble a game. Come up with a simple plot (for example, a journey into the universe of sounds), prepare small prizes-evaluations (stickers, paper stars), arrange physical minutes.
Praise, support the little student if he makes at least tiny progress. Focus on achievements, even small ones, gradually progress will be more and more obvious.
Pick up good workbooks for home workouts. They should be not only professional in content, but also bright, colorful, and exciting. Ideally, if the tasks have interactive elements (the ability to add something, finish drawing). Such material allows you to interest a preschooler, clearly shows him the "path", success.
Do not expect instant results, show patience, gentle perseverance. The process of staging, fixing, differentiating sounds is complex, it takes months even for experienced speech therapists. Follow the plan and the results will gradually appear.

Speech therapy exercises for practicing at home

All speech therapy exercises can be divided into three large blocks, each of which needs to be paid attention and carried out regularly:

Development of phonemic hearing

Learning to distinguish sounds by ear seems natural, but if you ask your preschooler to spell certain words, you will see gaps.

For children 5-6 years old, there are a large number of special games, exercises that help develop. These include:

selection of words that begin or end with a given sound;
counting sounds in a word, determining the syllabic structure;
drawing up a sound scheme of a word;
inventing rhymes and short poems;
pronunciation of speeches and tongue twisters.

Thoughtful speech therapy classes for children aged 5-6 allow you to make all the sounds of your native language obedient and easy.

Finger gymnastics

Fine motor skills of the hands help speech activity, so older preschoolers must perform it without fail.

Of course, for children 5-6 years old, exercises should be complex, with a script, in verse. It is useful to select sets of exercises for two hands at the same time, synchronous. Don't forget to use "helpers":

small massagers (rubber balls, rollers, bumps);
scissors for cutting;
plasticine;
origami paper.

Also remember that all types of needlework, design, any kind of creativity are excellent outside of individual lessons.

Articulation gymnastics

on the letter L

Hard is also often difficult for children 5-6 years old. If the baby has already learned to pronounce it alone, in isolation, then it's time to start working on automation in speech. The following exercises are suitable for this:

1. "Say it beautifully"

Offer your child several images of words that begin with L. Ask him to pronounce the words beautifully, emphasizing the desired sound with his voice.

2. "Toys for Larisa"

Ask your child to collect gifts for Larisa's doll. Say that she only loves things that start with L. For this exercise, you need to pick up small objects or pictures in advance, all words should not start only with L.

3. "One-many"

Invite the child to name words with L in the singular and plural. In the workbook for sound L (author Kostyuk A.V.) there is a whole table with drawings for this exercise (lesson 20).

4. "Find the Sound"

Invite the child to draw up a word diagram and mark the place L on it. If it is still difficult for your child to independently determine the number of sounds, then for a start you can perform several similar exercises from the workbook.

5. "Patters and nursery rhymes"

Use nursery rhymes, tongue twisters and poems with words that contain L.
