Articulation gymnastics

Speech sounds are formed as a result of a complex set of movements of the articulatory organs - kines. The development of one or another kineme opens up the possibility of mastering those speech sounds that could not be pronounced due to its absence. We correctly pronounce various sounds, both in isolation and in the speech stream, thanks to strength, good mobility and differentiated work of the organs of the articulatory apparatus. Thus, producing speech sounds is a complex motor skill.

Already from infancy, the child makes a lot of diverse articulatory and facial movements with the tongue, lips, jaw, accompanying these movements with diffuse sounds (mumbling, babbling). Such movements are the first stage in the development of a child’s speech; they play the role of gymnastics for the speech organs in natural conditions of life. The accuracy, strength and differentiation of these movements develop in the child gradually.

For clear articulation, strong, elastic and mobile speech organs are needed - tongue, lips, palate. Articulation is associated with the work of numerous muscles, including: chewing, swallowing, and facial muscles. The process of voice formation occurs with the participation of the respiratory organs (larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, diaphragm, intercostal muscles). Thus, when talking about special exercises, one should keep in mind exercises of numerous organs and muscles of the face, oral cavity, shoulder girdle, and chest.

Articulatory gymnastics is the basis for the formation of speech sounds - phonemes - and the correction of sound pronunciation disorders of any etiology and pathogenesis; it includes exercises for training the mobility of the organs of the articulatory apparatus, practicing certain positions of the lips, tongue, soft palate, necessary for the correct pronunciation of both all sounds and each sound of a particular group.

The goal of articulatory gymnastics is to develop full-fledged movements and certain positions of the organs of the articulatory apparatus necessary for the correct pronunciation of sounds.

1. Articulation gymnastics should be carried out daily so that the skills developed in children are consolidated. It is better to perform the exercises 3-4 times a day for 3-5 minutes. Children should not be offered more than 2-3 exercises at a time.

2. Each exercise is performed 5-7 times.

3. Static exercises are performed for 10-15 seconds (holding the articulatory pose in one position).

4. When selecting exercises for articulatory gymnastics, you must follow a certain sequence, moving from simple exercises to more complex ones. It is better to spend them emotionally, in game form.

5. Of the two or three exercises performed, only one can be new; the second and third are given for repetition and consolidation. If a child does not perform an exercise well enough, new exercises should not be introduced; it is better to practice old material. To consolidate it, you can come up with new gaming techniques.

6. Articulation gymnastics is performed while sitting, since in this position the child has a straight back, the body is not tense, and the arms and legs are in a calm position.

7. The child must clearly see the adult’s face, as well as his own face, in order to independently control the correctness of the exercises. Therefore, a child and an adult should be in front of a wall mirror during articulation gymnastics. The child can also use a small hand mirror (approximately 9x12 cm), but then the adult must be opposite the child, facing him.

8. It’s better to start gymnastics with lip exercises.

Organization of articulation gymnastics

1. An adult talks about the upcoming exercise using game techniques.

2. An adult demonstrates the exercise.

3. The child does the exercise, and the adult controls the execution.

An adult conducting articulatory gymnastics must monitor the quality of the movements performed by the child: accuracy of movement, smoothness, pace of execution, stability, transition from one movement to another. It is also important to ensure that the movements of each organ of articulation are performed symmetrically in relation to the right and left sides of the face. Otherwise, articulatory gymnastics does not achieve its goal.

4. If the child is unable to perform some movement, help him (with a spatula, the handle of a teaspoon, or just a clean finger).

5. In order for the child to find the correct position of the tongue, for example, lick the upper lip, spread it with jam, chocolate or something else that your child likes. Approach the exercises creatively.

At first, when children perform exercises, tension in the movements of the organs of the articulatory apparatus is observed. Gradually the tension disappears, movements become relaxed and at the same time coordinated.

The system of exercises for the development of articulatory motor skills should include both static exercises and exercises aimed at developing dynamic coordination of speech movements.

Before you start performing the exercises, be sure to read the recommendations for performing articulatory gymnastics.

Exercises for developing breathing in children with speech disorders

Proper breathing is very important for speech development, since the respiratory system is the energy base for the speech system. Breathing affects sound pronunciation, articulation and voice development. Breathing exercises help develop diaphragmatic breathing, as well as the duration, strength and correct distribution of exhalation. You can use exercises in which the respiratory muscles work with special tension, and even some of the exercises of Buddhist gymnastics, which contribute to the development of not only the respiratory organs, but also the functioning of the cardiovascular system.

Regular breathing exercises help to develop proper speech breathing with an extended, gradual exhalation, which allows you to obtain a supply of air for pronouncing segments of different lengths.

1. Before performing breathing exercises, you need to wipe off the dust in the room, ventilate it; if there is a humidifier in the house, use it.

4. It is necessary to ensure that the muscles of the arms, neck, and chest do not strain during exercises.

Breathing exercises

Fill a basin with water and teach your child to blow on light objects in the basin, for example, boats. You can have a competition to see whose boat has sailed farthest. It is very good for these purposes to use plastic eggs from Kinder Surprises or packaging from shoe covers issued by automatic machines.

Build a goal from a construction set or other material, take a ping-pong ball or any other light ball. And play football with your child. The child must blow on the ball, trying to drive it into the gate. You can take two balls and play the game “Who is faster”.

4. Glug-glug.
Take two transparent plastic cups. Pour a lot of water into one, almost to the brim, and pour a little into the other. Invite your child to play “glug-glug” using cocktail straws. To do this, you need to blow weakly through a straw into a glass with a lot of water, and you can blow strongly into a glass with little water. The child’s task is to play “Bul-Bulki” in such a way as not to spill water. Be sure to draw your child’s attention to the words: weak, strong, much, little. This game can also be used to reinforce color knowledge. To do this, take multi-colored cups and tubes and invite the child to blow into a green cup through a green tube, etc.

5. Magic bubbles.
Invite your child to play with soap bubbles. He can blow soap bubbles himself, but if he can’t blow or doesn’t want to practice, then you blow the bubbles, directing them at the child. This encourages the baby to blow on the bubbles to prevent them from hitting him.

6. Dudochka.
Invite the child to stick his narrow tongue forward, lightly touching the glass bottle with the tip of his tongue (any glass bottle for medicines, vitamins, iodine, perfume will do; the neck of the bottle should not be wide). Blow air onto the tip of your tongue so that the bubble whistles like a pipe.

7. Harmonica.
Invite your child to become a musician, let him play the harmonica. At the same time, your task is not to teach him to play, therefore, do not pay attention to the melody. It is important that the child inhales air through the harmonica and exhales into it.

8. Flower shop.
Invite your child to take a deep, slow breath through his nose, smelling an imaginary flower, to choose the most fragrant flower for his grandmother or mother. You can use various scented sachets for this game, but they should not have strong odors, should not be dusty and should not be brought too close to the nose.

9. Candle.
Buy large colorful candles and play with them. You light candles and ask the child to blow on a blue candle, then on a yellow candle, etc. You need to blow slowly, the inhalation should not be noisy, and you cannot puff out your cheeks. First, you can bring the candle closer to the child, then gradually remove it.
