Sound staging

Many parents are concerned about the problem of the correct pronunciation of the sounds of the child's speech. In order for children's speech to be intelligible, clear and understandable, it is necessary to work on the development of the muscles of the articulatory apparatus. There are special exercises for the development of mobility, dexterity of the tongue, lips, cheeks, hyoid frenulum, which are called articulatory gymnastics.

The importance of articulatory gymnastics for children cannot be overestimated. It is similar to morning exercises: it increases blood circulation, develops the flexibility of the organs of the speech apparatus, and strengthens the muscles of the face.

Here is the material that allows you to work out the production of sound [l]

Sound production classes are designed for children from 2 years old.

An important point when performing articulation gymnastics exercises is to perform exercises in front of a mirror in order to have visual control over the setting of the mouth and tongue. Equally important is auditory control - let the child do the exercises himself and hear himself and his sound.

Classes will give the best result if they are conducted in a playful way.

Complex of articulatory gymnastics for sound [l]

1. Turkey

Purpose: To develop the upper rise of the tongue, the mobility of its front part.

Description: With the mouth slightly open, put the tongue on the upper lip and with a wide tongue on the upper lip we move back and forth, trying not to tear the tongue from the lip - stroking it. At first, the movements are slow, then we speed up the pace and add a voice. When the exercise is performed correctly, we should hear a sound similar to the “song” of a turkey bl-bl-bl (as the turkey says).

Methodical instructions: It is important that the tongue is wide and not narrowed, and the movements of the tongue are back and forth, and not from side to side.

2. The steamer is buzzing

Purpose: To develop a rise in the back of the tongue up.

Description: Let's open our mouth and pronounce a sound for a long time. S, imitating the whistle of a steamboat.

3. The plane is buzzing

Purpose: To evoke a sound that is close in acoustic characteristics to the sound L.

Description: Let's open our mouth, smile and pronounce the sound for a long time [ S], push the tip of the tongue between the upper and lower teeth. Correctly holding the tongue in this position, as a rule, a sound is heard [ L].

4. Swing

Purpose: To develop the ability to hold and alternate certain articulation modes.

Description: Smiling, open your mouth and with a tense tongue reach out to your nose and chin, or to the lower and upper teeth. The swing swings at first quickly, and then more slowly, trying to keep the tongue in the upper or lower position for several seconds.

Methodical instructions: It is important that only the tongue works during this exercise. Very often this exercise is performed by placing the tongue on the lower lip. With this option, only the lower jaw works, and the tongue remains at rest. Try not to let this happen.

5. Needle

Purpose: To develop the ability to hold a narrow tense tongue.

Description: Open your mouth and push forward a narrow long tongue. We hold the tongue in this position for a count of 2 to 10. The mouth remains open during execution.

Guidelines: It is important that the tongue is straight, and the tip does not deviate, neither to the sides nor up.

6. Horse

Purpose: To fix the upper rise of the tongue, stretch the hyoid ligament (bridle).

Description: Smiling, open your mouth wide and “glue” a wide tongue to the upper palate, then lower the tongue down. The pace accelerates as this exercise improves. When performed correctly, the sound becomes similar to the clatter of a horse's hooves.

If holding the lower jaw will be very difficult, then at first, hold it with your fingers.

7. Fungus

Description: Smiling, we open our mouth wide, “glue” a wide tongue to the upper palate, and try to keep it in this position for as long as possible.

Methodical instructions: It is important that the mouth is wide open throughout the exercise. The lower jaw remains motionless.

8. Accordion

Purpose: To fix the upper rise of the tongue, the ability to hold the articulation pattern for a long time, stretch the hyoid ligament (bridle).

Description: This exercise is very similar to the previous one. Smiling, we open our mouth wide, “glue” a wide tongue to the upper palate, and try to keep it in this position for as long as possible. Further, without lifting the tongue from the palate, we forcefully pull the lower jaw down.

Methodical instructions: It is important that when performing this exercise, the mouth opens as wide as possible.

9. Drummer

Purpose: To fix the upper rise of the tongue, to develop the ability to make the tip of the tongue tense.

Description: Smiling, open your mouth wide and tap the tubercles behind your upper teeth (alveoli) with the tip of your tongue, repeatedly and distinctly pronouncing a sound reminiscent of the English sound [ d]: d-d-d… First sound [ d]: Speak slowly, gradually speeding up the tempo.

Methodical instructions: It is important that the mouth is wide open throughout the exercise. The lower jaw remains motionless.

Sound cards

To set and automate sounds in words, cards are used, the names of which contain a specific sound we need (in this case, it is the sound [l])

In a word, the sound is surrounded by other sounds that leave their articulatory and acoustic imprint. And, with the help of the image of the object, the child perceives meaningful, meaningful things better.

Words allow you to automate the sound in all possible positions, create, in fact, "articulation models" - the child does not have to learn all the words of the Russian language with this sound, he trains to pronounce a new sound in various combinations, which he will then use in other words, which meet him in life.

There are 156 cards with pictures and 156 cards with words in which the sound [l] occurs in the set:

At the beginning of a word (la, lo, lu, ly)

In the middle of a word (la, lo, lu, ly)

In a confluence of consonants (lv, lk, ld, lg, lf, ls, blah, blo, blu, vla, vlo, etc.)

At the end of the word (al, ol, ate, yl, silt)

How to play

In games, it is important that the child speaks out loud

the name of the item on the card

1. Repeat after me

Lay out in a row, for example, 3 cards each and name them with a clear pronunciation of the sound [l]. Have your child repeat the names of the cards after you.

2. Picture-word

If the child already knows how to read, then you can use word cards for games. For example, choose a number of picture cards and their corresponding words. Lay them out in front of the child, let them look for a few seconds, and turn them face down. The task of the child is to turn over two picture-word cards. For example, picture-moon and word-moon.

You can play together, whoever guessed a couple of cards takes it for himself. The one who collects the most cards wins.

3. Letters and reading

Select a few cards that the baby already loves and correlate them with the letters of the alphabet (for example, with THESE). For example, K-doll, l-horse, etc. Or make whole words.

Similarly, you can play with English letters (you can download them too)

4. Games for the development of memory

- "Remember"

Lay out a number of cards in front of the baby (you can start with 2-3 pieces), literally for a few seconds, only for him to look at them. Then collect and arrange them the same, but one less. And ask you to guess which card is missing, "who hid?" or "who is missing?".

Or similarly lay out the cards for a few seconds. Then collect and arrange them the same, but already one more. And ask to guess what new card appeared, "who came to visit?".

- "Memory Grid"

To begin with, you can play like this: put 2-3 cards in front of the baby for a few seconds (gradually increasing their number), and be sure to voice them. Then turn over and ask to show where one of the pictures is. When this game is mastered, you can move on to the original game - the memory grid.

Rules of the original game: show the child a grid of four pictures for a few seconds, and then give an empty grid of four cards and four picture cards. Have your child place the pictures on the empty grid in the same order they were placed on the original grid. When everything is done, expand your grid and check if the pictures are in the correct order.

Once this exercise works out, increase the grid sizes to 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, etc.

Use fewer photos to make your card work easier. For example, you could make a 3x2 grid where two squares are left empty, the other four are filled with pictures placed in random positions.

This activity exercises the right brain and helps develop photographic memory.

- "Chain of memory"

This is a picture chain memory game.

You will need cards with different pictures. Start with 3 cards - come up with some kind of absurd story. For example, "one day a kitten saw an elephant flying in a balloon." Then shuffle the cards and invite the child to restore the chain of events. That is, you need to put the first card with the image of a kitten, the second - with the image of an elephant, the third - with a balloon. Gradually, you can increase the number of cards to 50 or more. At this point, the child will be able to memorize the sequence as a single image - at a glance, without words.

For older kids in this game, after your absurd story, the cards can simply be shuffled. And the child himself will decompose them and restore the chain of events.

5. Imagination

Take any card that the child knows well. And ask him to turn his back to you (or close his eyes). Next, explain in suggestive sentences what is shown on the card. For example, a "t-shirt" - we wear it in the summer, when it's warm, it's clothes, it has short sleeves, it comes in different colors, etc. Or "strawberry" - it is sweet and red, it is a berry, it grows in the beds, they make jam from it, etc. Let the child guess what it is.

Then change. The child has already seen how to play and now he can try it himself.

6. Statement of the question

Choose several cards to play with (preferably one theme, such as animals or food, etc.). Then hide them and choose one, do not show it to the child. Ask the child to guess what you have chosen using questions. For example, "Is this a toy?", "Is it round?", "Is it a ball?" etc. If the child guesses the card, then he takes it for himself.
And you switch places, now he chooses a card, and you ask questions.

7. Bridge

Lay out a few cards on the floor and tell us that now we are standing on one side of the river, and in order to get to the other side we need to go through a bridge with cards. Jumping over the bridge with cards, the child must name what is shown on each card.

Play with pleasure!
