Articulatory gymnastics for children 3-4 years old: exercises

Already in the family the child's speech development begins to be laid . The task of close people is to create conditions under which a child can easily acquire speech skills. Disadvantages of development can lead to inability to express one's own thoughts, to poor school performance. If a child has a poor command of speech, as a rule, he learns poorly. Articulatory gymnastics for children 3-4 years will help in the game form to learn to talk, correctly pronounce sounds.

Articulatory gymnastics

Articulatory gymnastics is a whole complex of exercises designed to help the child improve the work of articulatory organs, to increase the strength and volume of movements, to develop the accuracy of the position of the tongue, of the lips in the pronunciation of a certain sound. Articulatory gymnastics for children of 3-4 years trains the organs of sound reproduction. In the mental development of the baby speech is of great importance. On the quality of pronunciation in general, you can judge about the overall development. Children 2-3 years reach the peak of speech development, they can already pronounce the simplest sounds, both deaf and sonorous X, B, F, D, K, H, O. Already in 3-4 years, sounds C, E, L, J.

Physiologically, children do not immediately become ready to pronounce complex sounds, so they need to train the tongue. Adults should help in replenishing vocabulary. We need to have a conversation with the child, and he should tell us about his family, about the weather, about what he is doing. Articulation gymnastics will help to master the basics of pronunciation of sounds. Photos of children confirm that the kids are happy only when they have full communication with other peers as well as with adults. Speech in the formation of relationships plays a major role. It can not be an innate ability and requires constant development.

The main goal of any articulatory gymnastics is the development of full-fledged movements, the skills of correct pronunciation of sounds, the strengthening of the muscles of the speech apparatus.

Recommendations for classes

If the child has difficulties with soundproofing and he is going to have classes with a speech therapist, doing articulatory gymnastics, he will quickly prepare his speech apparatus for the pronunciation of the most complex sounds. Also, a clear recitation of various sounds is the basis for teaching the letter. The complex of articulatory gymnastics for children is necessary to fulfill, observing some recommendations:

• In the initial stages of the exercise, all the exercises are very slow, it is better to do it in front of the mirror, so that the child controls his actions. Ask the kid leading questions: what does the tongue do? Where is he now? What are the lips doing?

• Further the pace can be increased, the exercises can be performed under the score. Be sure to make sure that there is smoothness and accuracy in the movements, otherwise the sense is lost.

• Do better in the mornings and evenings, 5-7 minutes. Time of classes depends on the assiduity of the baby. Classes should not be imposed.

• At the age of 3-4 years, make sure that the basic movements are absorbed.

• At the age of 4 to 5 years, the requirements increase - the movement should become more smooth and clear, without twitching.

• At the age from 6 to 7 years, children should perform everything at a fast pace, while being able to hold the tongue for some time without changes.

It should be recalled that articulatory gymnastics only prepares a speech apparatus for the pronunciation of sounds, it can not replace lessons with a speech therapist!

Articulatory gymnastics for children (fairy tales)

All children love to play. The game is built a lot of teaching methods. No exception and articulation gymnastics. Many teachers use articulatory gymnastics for children in poems and fairy tales. Kids are happy to join the game.

"The Tale of the Tongue". Lived in his little house Yazychok. Who knows what this house is? Guess it.

In this house red doors,

And next to them - white beasts,

These little animals are very fond of buns.

Who guessed? This house is our mouth.

In the house of the door, they close, then open. Here so (together we open, we close our mouths).

Naughty little tongue in place does not sit, often runs out of his house (tongue stick out).

The tongue came out to warm up, sunbathe in the sun (tongue "shovel" on the lower lip).

The breeze blew, the Tongue shook (curtailed), went into the house, closed the door (hide the tongue, the lips were closed).

In the courtyard it became cloudy, the rain was chattering. (We beat in the teeth with our tongue, while uttering "dd-dd ...").

At home, the tongue is not boring. He watered the kitten with milk. (Open your mouth, drive your tongue along the upper lip). The kitten licked and yawned sweetly. (Spread the tongue over your lips and open your mouth wide).

The tongue looked at the tick-tick-clock. (The mouth is open, the tongue touches the tip alternately to the corners of the mouth). Kitty curled into a ball and fell asleep. "It's time to sleep," decided Yazychok. (Hide your tongue and close your lips).

Younger group

Articulatory gymnastics for children of the younger group consists of the simplest exercises. In 1 youngest children have not yet formed hissing, sonorous, wheezing sounds. The main task here is to master the movements of the organs of the articulatory apparatus. It is necessary to develop auditory attention, height, voice strength, duration of inspiration and exhalation, to clarify the pronunciation of the sounds "mu-mu," "qua-kva", "tuk-tuk", etc.

2 the younger group gets acquainted with more complex movements of the articulatory apparatus. Smiles sponges, exposed teeth, tongue rises, holds, moves from side to side. The exercises "air jet" for breathing, for the movement of the lips "proboscis", "smile", "fence", for the language - "scapula", "clock", "painter", "horse".

Senior group

Articulatory gymnastics for preschool children in the older group fixes all the material passed. Children know the concept of the back of the tongue. All exercises are performed smoothly, clearly. Articulation organs should quickly switch from one exercise to the next, while they must be held for some time. The teacher strictly monitors the correct execution. Movements should become clear over time, worked out, easy, habitual. You can conduct classes at any pace.

Preparatory group

Articulatory gymnastics for preschool children in the preparatory group clarifies all the movements of the language. The exercises for differentiating various sounds are used.
