Speech sounds are obtained through a whole complex of kinemas (movements of articulatory organs). The correct pronunciation of all kinds of sounds largely depends on the strength, mobility, and also the differentiated work of the organs of the articulatory apparatus. That is, the pronunciation of speech sounds is a rather difficult motor skill that will help develop articulation exercises.

The main goals of articulation gymnastics

You can watch how the baby makes a variety of (facial and articulatory) movements of the tongue, jaw and lips. At the same time, characteristic sounds are reproduced - babble and muttering. This is the first stage in the development of the speech of each person. It matters a lot. In children, such movements are developed and develop gradually. They value strength, precision and differentiation.

A set of articulatory exercisesgymnastics will help develop and develop full-fledged movements, which is important for the correct reproduction of speech sounds.

Articulation gymnastics consists of a huge number of exercises aimed at training the mobility of organs, practicing various positions of the lips, soft palate and tongue.

Recommendations

Firstly, articulation exercises should be performed every day. This contributes to the quality assimilation and consolidation of the developed skills in children. It is recommended to do articulation exercises three or four times a day, for about 5 minutes. No need to load the child with a large number of new exercises at once. 2-3 exercises at a time are enough.

Secondly, the exercise is performed not once, but several times (about five). Static exercises should be done for 10-15 seconds.

Thirdly, it is necessary to competently approach the selection of exercises and take into account the traditional sequence: from simple to complex. It is better to carry out articulation exercises for children 3-4 years old in a playful way, fun and emotionally.

Fourthly, new exercises should be introduced gradually, one at a time. Don't forget to review and reinforce what you've learned. You should not start new exercises if the previous tasks are not performed very well. You can practice old material with new playing techniques.

And, fifthly, it is better to perform articulatory gymnastics while sitting. In this position, the body, arms and legs do not tense in children. It will be easier for children to complete new tasks if they see themselves andleader. This will require a wall mirror. You can start gymnastics with exercises for the lips.

Organizational moment

When explaining a new exercise, an adult should use game techniques as much as possible. Then comes the visual demonstration. After that, under the control of an adult, a child performs it.

When children do articulation exercises, it is important to control the quality of the movements. It is important to consider the symmetry of both sides of the face. Without this, articulation gymnastics is absolutely meaningless.

You need to be creative with each exercise.

Movement will be tight at first. Gradually they will become more free, organic and coordinated.

The complex of articulation exercises should include both static and dynamic tasks.

Lip exercises

There are a huge number of them. This is:

• Smile - lips are kept in a smile, teeth should not be visible.
• Proboscis - lips stretch forward with a long tube.
• Fence - a smile with closed teeth.
• Bublik - round and stretch the lips forward. The teeth must be closed.
• Rabbit - the exercise is performed with closed teeth. Raise the upper lip, exposing the corresponding incisors.

Tasks for the development of lip mobility

Articulation exercises for children should also be aimed at developing mobilitylips. This is:

• Scratching and biting both lips with teeth.
• Pull the lips forward with a tube. Then stretch them into a smile.
• Pull out the lips with a tube. Rotate them in a circular motion, move left and right.
• Imagine yourself as a fish that talks. Clap your lips together.
• Take the nasolabial fold of the upper lip with two fingers of one hand, and the lower lip with the thumb and forefinger of the other. Stretch them up and down.
• "Kiss". The cheeks are pulled inward, after which the mouth opens sharply with a characteristic sound.
• "Duck". Massage the elongated lips with your fingers, trying to depict a beak. In this case, the thumbs of both hands should be under the lower lip, and the others on the upper.
• "Disgruntled horse". Try to make a sound like a horse snorting.

Static and dynamic exercises for the tongue

Quality articulation exercises for children are impossible without hard work. Among the static exercises, the following can be distinguished:

• Chicks. Open your mouth wide while keeping your tongue still.
• Spatula. The mouth should be open, stick out the tongue, relax it and lower it in a wide position on the lower lip.
• Cup. Open your mouth wide. Stick out the tongue, while lifting the front and side edges. The tongue must not touch the teeth.
• Sting. Pull forward a narrow tense tongue.
• Gorka. Raise the back of the tongue up, while the tip should rest firmly againstlower incisors.
• Tube. Bend up the side edges of the tongue.
• Fungus. To the palate stick tongue.

The complex of articulation exercises should include dynamic tasks:

• Pendulum. Slightly open your mouth and stretch your lips into a smile. Touch the corners of your mouth with the tip of your tongue.
• Football. The mouth must be closed. With a tense tongue, alternately rest against one or the other cheek.
• Brushing your teeth. Close your mouth. Move your tongue in a circle between your teeth and lips.
• Horse. Tongue stick to the sky, then click the tongue. Click hard and slowly.
• Delicious jam. Open your mouth and lick your upper lip with your tongue.

Articulation exercises for the "r" sound

The first exercise is called “Whose teeth are cleaner”. To perform it, you should open your mouth wide and make movements (left-right) with the tip of your tongue from the inside of the upper teeth.

Second - "Malyar". Open your mouth, stretch your lips in a smile. Move the tip of the tongue back and forth across the palate.

Third - "Who will drive the ball further." The exercise is done with a smile. Make the language wide. Put its edge on the lower lip and try to pronounce the sound “f” for a long time. Then put the cotton on the table and blow it to the opposite side.

These are just some articulation exercises for the "r" sound that will help you develop proper tongue movement, tongue movement, elevation, etc.

The tasks presented in the article will help strengthenand develop certain skills in children. Articulation exercises require a competent and creative approach of an adult. Be sure to perform them in a playful way, do not forget to say the names of each of them, which will cause direct associations. And then the children will be interested in doing a variety of exercises.
