  • stuttering- violation of the rhythm, fluency and tempo of speech, due to muscle cramps of the speech apparatus;
  • dyslalia- phonetic defects;
  • rhinolalia- defect in sound pronunciation and voice timbre;
  • dysarthria- violation of pronunciation due to malfunctioning of the nerve endings connecting the central nervous system with a speech apparatus;
  • alalia- Underdevelopment or complete absence of speech in a child, associated with damage to the speech areas of the brain;

In any case, this technique gives a result, over time honing the technique of speech.

Improving diction

Diction of speech is very important factor, therefore, it should be developed from early childhood.

A five-minute exercise, consisting of ten exercises, is capable of a short time turn mooing into articulate speech, with little or no effort.

A few tips for doing the exercise:

  • lower jaw down and move it left and right, forward and backward. Movements should be careful and smooth;
  • we take the starting position, we put our hands on the chest. We lean forward, pronouncing lingering and prolonged vowel sounds as we exhale. The voice should be low timbre, this factor is very important;
  • we smile with our mouth open and move our tongue from one corner of the mouth to another. The jaw and lips should be stationary, and the tongue should not touch the lips;
  • we smile with an open mouth and lick our lips with our tongue, we monitor the smoothness of movements and immobility of the jaw;
  • with closed lips, we lick our teeth with inside... First the upper jaw, then the lower. We do the exercise slowly, counting the teeth in order. We also monitor the immobility of the lips and jaw;
  • with our mouth open, we try to reach our nose and beard with our tongue, in turn. Make sure that the tongue does not narrow and does not touch the lips and teeth;
  • with an open mouth, we take out the alveoli located behind the lower teeth and the tubercles of the palate with our tongue. We monitor the immobility of the jaw and lips.

By doing the exercises, the child from childhood will improve his diction, and with it, he will work out the timbre of his voice, thanks to which in the future he will be able to influence people with the help of his voice, which is due to the increased sensitivity of certain voice frequencies.

Correcting speech defects

Often, as a result of lisping and incorrect pronunciation of words by adults, the child develops speech defects.

Exercises to correct the pronunciation of whistling, hissing sounds, as well as "r" and "l":

  • Tubule- we close our lips, then we pull them out in the form of a tube, as far as possible;
  • Cup- we open our mouth wide and try to give the tongue the shape of a cup, sticking it out far forward;
  • Drum- we open our mouth and try to hit our tongue for upper teeth across the palate, pronouncing the sound "d";
  • Brush- open your mouth and run your tongue over your teeth from above and below;
  • Jam- we smile with an open mouth, licking our upper lip with our outstretched tongue.

The main thing is to correctly establish the type of defect and correctly and in a timely manner perform the prescribed exercises, then the result will not be long in coming. Even very difficult cases suffer visible changes after having sessions for half a year.

Eliminate stuttering

Stuttering is a speech defect that is not easy to deal with.

Everyone knows and understands well traditional species gymnastics, consisting of various exercises for the arms, legs, back. We train them to develop general motor skills, so that the muscles become stronger and the body more agile and faster.

Why do you need to train your tongue, because there are no bones in it? It is this organ that is the main one for our speech, therefore it also needs special exercises. The development and strengthening of his muscles allows you to accurately and clearly pronounce all words and sounds, making speech clearer and more understandable.

Articulatory gymnastics is necessary for children to develop pronunciation skills

Articulation gymnastics - what is it?

Articulatory gymnastics is a set of exercises for the development of the articulatory apparatus - increasing the mobility and development of the motor skills of the lips, tongue, cheeks, bridle, which is required for the correct reproduction of sounds. The purpose of articulatory gymnastics classes is to work out movements with all the organs listed above and bring them to the automatism of taking the necessary positions.

A child for good diction and pronunciation requires strong lips and tongue that can easily change their position. It is to achieve this that it is necessary to engage in articulatory gymnastics with him, performing special exercises and playing speech therapy games.

Often, speech defects and insufficiently clear diction become an obstacle for the child's full communication with peers, which negatively affects his psycho-emotional state... You can reduce the likelihood of such problems in children with the help of articulatory gymnastics, which should be started as early as possible. It will help children aged 2 - 4 years to quickly learn to pronounce all sounds correctly, at 5 - 7 years old - it will correct and reduce speech defects.


You can do gymnastics for the tongue with a speech therapist or at home in front of a mirror

Who should take care of the baby?

This article talks about typical ways solutions to your questions, but each case is unique! If you want to know from me how to solve your particular problem - ask your question. It's fast and free!

Your question:

Your question has been sent to an expert. Remember this page on social networks to follow the expert's answers in the comments:

You can do articulatory gymnastics with your child on your own, however, you should periodically be examined by a speech therapist, starting from 1.5 - 2 years (see also:). By the age of 4, it is already quite clearly visible which sounds the baby has problems with pronouncing. It happens that at the age of five they pass by themselves, but only a specialist can correctly assess the development of speech in a child and determine how much it corresponds to age (for more details, see the article :). It is he who should be engaged in adjusting the pronunciation of the baby in the presence of problems. Based individual characteristics, the doctor will prescribe a special set of exercises, explain how to perform them correctly and demonstrate this by his own example.

In almost every kindergarten a speech therapist works, so there they also do articulatory gymnastics with the kids. He not only conducts regular examinations, but also, starting from the age of 5, is engaged in the elimination of defects, conducting lessons for the development of speech. However, these exercises are often not enough; in the presence of pronounced problems, it will be required to regularly perform all necessary exercises and at home.

The exercises should begin in front of a mirror - so the child can observe the movements of the lips and tongue. Unlike adults, in whom all movements are performed automatically, the baby needs to visually display all his actions during the class to develop the necessary skills.


The goal of gymnastics is to make the tongue strong and mobile and teach it to take the positions necessary for pronounced sounds.

Adults, pronouncing sounds, do this without thinking about setting the tongue, position of the lips, breathing. For a child who is just mastering their correct pronunciation, all these moments seem rather difficult and incomprehensible. Lips and tongue obey him with great difficulty, constantly trying to take a more comfortable, but not always correct position.

You can make classes easier and more interesting for the child by turning boring and incomprehensible exercises into funny Games and stories about the adventures of the language, accompanied by poems and riddles. Invite him to imagine that his tongue lives in his house (mouth), where it hides behind a high fence (teeth). He goes to bed, looks out the window, goes for a walk, turns into a kitten or a horse, rides a steamer - so you can imagine any exercise as addicting game and a whole story about his life.

It is very difficult to overestimate the importance of articulatory gymnastics for babies. It is comparable to the role morning exercises and has a similar effect on the muscles of the face - strengthens them, improves blood circulation in them, develops mobility and flexibility. To consolidate existing skills and acquire new ones, the daily implementation of the recommended complex will allow, taking 5 minutes to classes several times a day and repeating each exercise from 4 to 8 times.

It is possible that some of the exercises can be difficult even for you. In this case, do them with your child, do not hesitate to admit your difficulties to him. Be patient and stay calm - and at some point you will succeed. Pictures depicting each articulation exercise or special speech therapy training videos can help you achieve it.

Exercises and games

Playing with the tongue is one of the first lessons of articulatory gymnastics. Parents need to read the text of the tale about the tongue and show the necessary movements. First, the child repeats them, the next time he shows himself.

Below are examples of exercises with short instructions included in the main complex for the development of articulatory motor skills in younger children preschool age... All tasks should be performed 4 - 8 times, dynamic - doing 2 - 6 repetitions, for static - stay in the specified position for 3 - 5 seconds. Before each repetition, give your child some time to rest and relax the muscles of the face and tongue.

Examples of exercises to strengthen the tongue

Learning the sounds "s", "s", "s", "s"

With the correct pronunciation of these sounds, the lips need to be stretched a little in a smile, so that the teeth are slightly visible, and the tongue rested against the teeth in front, and touched the chewing edges with the edges. In this position, a groove is formed along the tongue, upon passing through which the inhaled air generates a whistling noise. You can feel its movement by bringing your hand to your mouth. The following exercises will help improve articulation and learn the correct pronunciation of these sounds:

  • "Whistles" - we stretch our lips in a smile, hide our tongue from below behind our teeth and try to whistle.
  • “Blowing cotton wool off your palm” - we stretch our lips in a smile and put a calm tongue on the lower lip, sticking it out slightly. We breathe in and breathe out the air, as if we are trying to blow something out.

Correct pronunciation of sounds "w", "z"

When pronouncing hissing sounds, the mouth should be kept slightly open, the lips should be rounded, and the end of the tongue should be raised to the upper fornix, touching it with the edges of the chewing teeth from above. In this position, a small bowl-shaped notch appears under the tongue, through which air passes as you exhale. You can feel its movement by bringing your hand to your mouth.


The exercise " Delicious jam»

In parallel with the training of the articulatory apparatus, it is necessary to work with the child on the definition of various hissing and sibilant sounds by ear. This can be done in a playful way - for example, an adult pronounces one or another sound, after which he begins to pronounce various words. Having heard a word with a hidden sound, the baby must show it to an adult - for example, with a cotton. The following exercises will help you learn how to pronounce these sounds correctly:

  • "Delicious jam" - we open our mouth, stretch our lips in a smile and run our tongue 2-3 times over the upper lip, licking it.
  • "Blow the cotton off the nose" - put a little cotton on the tip of the tongue. We put it in a "cup", lift the cotton wool up, and blow it off as we exhale.
  • "Putting the tongue to sleep" - we place a wide, relaxed tongue on the lower lip.

Study of the sounds "h", "u"

The practice of these sounds can be started only when the child has learned to pronounce deaf hissing sounds. The following exercises are suitable for this:

  • "The chick is calling for mom" - slightly open our mouth and place a relaxed tongue on the lower lip. We pronounce the sound "five-five-five", touching the tongue with our lips.
  • Holding a wide relaxed tongue - open your mouth and maintain the position for 10 seconds.

Exercise is necessary for sounds: P, Pb, F, Ch, Sh, S, S, Th, D, Ts

When doing the exercises, it is important to keep your tongue and lips relaxed and to carefully control your breathing, not allowing it to be delayed. We repeat each exercise 3 - 6 times.

Study of the sounds "l" and "l"

  • "Painter" - we slightly open our mouth and stretch our lips in a smile and drive with a tense tongue along the upper fornix.
  • “The steamer is buzzing” - we open our mouth and stretch our lips, as if smiling. We pinch the tip of the tongue with our teeth, exhale and say "s-s-s" - if done correctly, you will hear a sound reminiscent of "l".
  • "Inflate the cheeks" - we pinch the tip of the tongue with our teeth and exhale air, inflating the cheeks. If the exercise is performed correctly, then the air should calmly flow around the tongue.

Exercise "Steamer"

Correct pronunciation of the "r" sound

The pronunciation of this sound is most often difficult, since it is trembling and front-lingual. Many parents themselves do not always distinguish it from a similar vibrating throat sound. The following exercises will help you develop accurate pronunciation.

  1. “We paint the house”.

The child stretches his lips in a wide smile, opens his mouth and licks the palate with a thin tip of his tongue. By the way, if the child does not pronounce the letter p, then this exercise is one of the most effective. The kid runs his tongue across the sky back and forth. An important condition to watch for: lips do not move, tongue is in contact with the outside of the teeth.
