Speech therapist is a very creative profession. Each professional has his own achievements, interesting findings, and a special approach to his studies. Speech therapists use various techniques to correct pronunciation and form the child’s speech.

Many children before school age needs help from a speech therapist. Simple pronunciation defects are successfully corrected at speech therapy centers in kindergartens and during private lessons with a speech therapist. But there are complex speech disorders - alalia, stuttering, dysarthria, general speech underdevelopment, the correction of which requires very long and painstaking work by a speech therapist, teachers and parents of the child. For children with severe speech impairments, there are specialized preschool institutions or speech therapy groups at regular kindergartens. For such children, it is important not only to correct pronunciation, but also to form the lexical and grammatical structure of the language, develop speech, and prepare them for learning to read and write. The success of further education at school and socialization in society depends on this. Parents should carefully follow all the recommendations of the speech therapist, do homework and exercises with the child, and daily consolidate the skills and knowledge acquired in class. Only the joint efforts of parents and all specialists working with the child will help overcome difficulties, teach him to speak correctly and beautifully, and to study successfully at school.

For your material to be included in this section, post a post in your personal blog on the website and add the words “Speech therapy classes” (without quotes) in the bottom field of “Categories”.

The science of speech defects, studying ways to eliminate them, as well as special exercises for language – speech therapy. Not only children, but also adults turn to this science in order to pronounce sounds correctly and beautifully and have success in any business where they need to convince, inspire, and share information with other people. To correct speech defects, regular speech therapy exercises are used for children and adults.

Some parents face speech problems in their children

In our article you will find useful tips for yourself on acquiring the skills of correct articulation, as well as a lot of valuable techniques for correcting the pronunciation of sounds by your children.

In order to achieve high results in business and have the ability to persuade, it is necessary not only to speak impeccably, but also to express your thoughts clearly and legibly. Not everyone can immediately master this science, so there are various practices to improve skills.

Speech therapy exercises for adults

Speech is unclear in adults, too, so ask your friends if you have any pronunciation problems. You can simply record a few phrases on a voice recorder and then listen carefully to your voice.

There are speech therapy exercises for adults, the main of which is memorizing and studying tongue twisters. If it is better for children to offer it in a playful way, then for adults it is enough to give them a task to practice the skill.

So, everyone must follow the following rules during training:

read the tongue twister 3-4 times;
repeat it slowly, pronouncing it clearly and distinctly;
when you can pronounce everything correctly, you can speed up the pace;
it is important to pronounce all sounds efficiently, and not quickly;
short tongue twisters need to be spoken in one breath.

The same tasks are suitable for adults and children:

clink your tongue, imitate a horse galloping;
smile and try to reach the roof of your mouth with your tongue;
imagine that you are licking honey from your lips without touching the corners of your lips;
press your tongue between your teeth and move it up and down.

To make sure the tasks you perform are correct, use a mirror. To track your progress, read an excerpt from a story with an expression or a poem, paying attention to all punctuation marks.

Speech therapy exercises for children

All speech therapy exercises for children should be performed unnoticed by the baby, so that it is all a serene pastime in a playful way.

You can come up with funny names for each task, because the child loves associations, sometimes the most unexpected ones. So, the kids will like such as “Horse”, “Chickens”.

Having identified problematic sounds, you can select certain exercises to correct the problem.

Completing tasks contributes to the development of the baby’s articulatory apparatus, allows you to eliminate pronunciation defects and form the necessary speech skills.

“Gate”: you need to open your mouth wide to relax your lips, repeat 6 times.
“Spatula”: you should place your tongue on lower lip.
“Vase”: place the tongue on the upper lip, repeat 5 times.
“Ball”: inflate one or the other cheek, as if a ball is rolling in the mouth.

Your child’s pronunciation will be clear if for training you take words with a large number of consonants: plate, girlfriend, foreign tourist, karateka, bunch, bed, mug, jump. They need to be spoken out daily and trained to hear every sound.

Speech therapy exercises for hissing sounds

Children often fail to pronounce sibilants correctly for a long time; sometimes they need to practice until school. It’s good if the child’s environment speaks and can correct the child’s pronunciation. Let's consider which speech therapy exercises for hissing sounds are most relevant. They are suitable for both adults and children, if such problems exist.

Speech therapy exercises for the letter w

It is important to know what to do when articulating. So, first we round the lips and round them, the teeth do not close, the edges of the tongue are pressed against the teeth, and it itself forms a scoop. We exhale air with the addition of a voice when pronouncing the hissing sound.

Here are the basic speech therapy exercises for the letter w:

“Accordion” to strengthen the muscles of the tongue in a vertical position: open your mouth, smile, and press your tongue to the roof of your mouth. Open and close your mouth 5 times.
“Pie”: open your mouth and smile, curl your tongue, lifting the edges. Count to 15 and then repeat.

Classes to correct the pronunciation defect of the sound z

They can also be used when training the pronunciation of other sibilants.

Speech therapy exercises for the sound h

There are also speech therapy exercises for the sound h:

“Mushroom” for stretching the hyoid frenulum: open the mouth, stretch the lips, and touch the palate with the tongue so that its edges are pressed tightly. Repeating, you need to open your mouth wider.
“Trick”: stick out your tongue, smiling, lift the tip, blow the cotton wool off your nose. Repeat 5-6 times.

Such exercises help strengthen the muscles of the tongue and develop its mobility, which is useful when pronouncing hissing words.

Speech therapy exercises for the letter w

There are also speech therapy exercises for the letter w:

“Cup”: place your tongue on your lower lip, then lift it and hold it for a few seconds. Repeat 8 times.
“Football”: stretch out your lips with a straw and blow on cotton wool in the shape of a ball, trying to get into an improvised goal.

Lessons to correct problems with sound

These tasks should be completed during games every day so that the child’s articulatory apparatus develops and pronunciation improves.

Speech therapy exercises for consonants

Often, both adults and children have difficulty pronouncing certain consonants, so speech therapy exercises for consonant sounds are needed to correct speech.

Speech therapy exercises for the letter L

Let us now consider speech therapy exercises for the letter l:

“Train whistle”: stick out your tongue and make a loud “ooh-ooh” sound.
“Tongue song”: you need to bite your tongue and sing “lek-lek-lek.”
“Painter”: you need to press your tongue with your teeth and move it up and down, as if you were painting a house.

Practicing movements for the correct pronunciation of the sound l

If the training is intended for children, then you can come up with a game in which you will need to complete these tasks.

Speech therapy exercises for the letter c

Let’s now look at speech therapy exercises starting with the letter c:

show how a pump inflates a tire;
depict how the wind blows;
convey how a balloon deflates;
show what you can hear if you blow into a bottle with a narrow neck.

In order to bring the child closer to understanding what they want from him, put a toothpick on his tongue and ask him to press it with his teeth, smile and blow out air.

Speech therapy exercises for the sound r

Let's find out speech therapy exercises for the sound r, which is the most problematic for all children:

“Brushing your teeth”: you need to move the tongue along the inside of your teeth in different directions.
“Musician”: with your mouth open, drum your tongue on the alveoli, saying “d-d-d”, reminiscent of a drum roll. You can check the correct execution by holding a piece of paper to your mouth. It should move with the flow of air.
“Dove”: you need to move the tongue along upper lip back and forth, copy the bird “bl-bl-bl.”

Training for the correct pronunciation of the sound p

These training tasks will help overcome the most difficult sound for babies, as the articulatory apparatus will be more mobile. After this, you can begin to select words with the letter r.

Speech therapy exercises for the sound t

Sometimes people find it difficult to pronounce simple sounds correctly when it is difficult to understand the meaning of a word or even a statement. Such problems must be dealt with. And here are the most effective speech therapy exercises for the sound t:

the tip of the tongue touches the upper teeth and pronounce “t-t-t”;
imitating a knock-knock hammer or a tick-tick clock;
we walk along the road with the baby, repeating “top-top-top”;
learning the tongue twister “Dust flies across the field from the clatter of hooves.”

How to do exercises for correct pronunciation of the sound t

It will also be useful to repeat these exercises every day in order for the training to be effective. Watch what your baby listens to, since speech is formed depending on how we perceive sounds by ear. Make sure that all family members do not lisp or use words in a diminutive form in front of the baby.

Speech therapy exercises for stuttering

All speech therapy exercises for stuttering are aimed at developing fluency of speech. Try to relax your child before classes, use playful forms of work that are most appropriate for children.

Let's take a look at the most necessary tasks in such a situation:

Read the poem below calm music without words, at first small, and over time complicate the task.
Clap your hands for the vowel sounds that appear in the word.
“Conductor”: chant a few words, syllables, vowel sounds, focusing on waving your arms and observing the rhythm.
“Carousel”: you need to walk in a circle, repeating the phrase “We are a funny carousel oops-opa-opa-pa-pa.”

Remember that you must pay attention to speech breathing during classes. Start each session gradually and smoothly, and then you can speed up the pace if everything works out for you.

Problems with speech and articulation can be resolved over time and through daily training, willpower and motivation.

We wish you success!

Most preschoolers have some kind of speech problem. Fortunately, you can correct the situation yourself by regularly performing simple exercises with your child.

If your baby doesn’t pronounce some sounds, “crumples” words, or speaks as if he’s put porridge in his mouth, don’t despair! Most often, problems with speech are age-related, and by school most children begin to speak clearly and correctly. Of course, there are also difficult cases when you cannot do without a speech therapist. But first, you should try to improve your child’s speech with home exercises.

Rules for working with your baby

Speech therapy classes for a preschooler should be done in a playful way, otherwise the child may not want to study. Conduct classes regularly, 2-3 times a day. Start with 3-5 minutes, gradually increasing the lesson time to 15-20. The best time to practice is after breakfast and after nap. Postpone exercises if your child is bad mood, sick or tired. Do the exercises with your child, show all the movements by example. Conduct the lesson in front of a mirror so that the baby can see how his lips and tongue move.

Speech therapy exercises

We are used to thinking that speech therapists are needed only for those children who do not pronounce all sounds. Most often, problems are caused by “r”, “l”, “ts”, hissing words. However, it also happens that the baby has mastered pronunciation, but still speaks unclearly, quietly, indistinctly, incomprehensibly, misses sounds or syllables, and confuses them. Therefore, speech therapy exercises are aimed not only at staging sound pronunciation, but also at general development speech.

Exercise No. 1. Articulation gymnastics

Start each lesson with gymnastics that stimulates the muscles of the speech apparatus. Offer your baby:

stick your tongue out as far as possible, touch the tip of your tongue to your nose and chin;
lick lips;
make the tongue wide and relaxed; roll into a tube; raise its edges (spatula shape);
“clean” your teeth by running your tongue along their inner surface;
move your tongue back and forth across the roof of your mouth (as if a painter is painting the ceiling).

Exercise No. 2. Development of phonemic hearing

For children 4-5 years old, exercises that develop the perception of sounds are useful. Play this game: let the child pretend to be asleep (lie in his arms, close his eyes), and you slowly pronounce the words. Hearing a certain sound (for example, “a”), the baby should “wake up.” Other variations of the same game: clap your hands, jump, stand up when you hear a sound.

Exercise No. 3. Onomatopoeia

This game, beloved by children, is very useful for speech development. Together with your baby, imagine the sound of a motor, a flying airplane, the gurgling of water, the mooing of a cow, the growling of a tiger, the cooing of a dove, etc.

Exercise No. 4. Working with the sound "r"

This is perhaps the most difficult sound for a baby to hear. To help your little one cope with it, play the following games:

Invite your child to open his mouth slightly, place a relaxed tongue on his lower lip and blow with the sound “f” hard enough so that a cotton ball or pencil rolls on the table;
teach your baby to click his tongue, imitating how a horse gallops;
imitate a drum roll by tapping the tip of your tongue on the roof of your mouth.

Exercise No. 5. Working with the sound "l"

The following exercises will help you find the missing “l” sound:

say “oo-oo-oo” with your tongue sticking out (as if a train is moving);
press your tongue between your teeth and move it back and forth, as if you are trying to brush it;
After biting your tongue a little, try to sing “lek-lek-lek.”

Exercise No. 6. Working with the sound "ts"

Bring your child’s hand to your lips and pronounce the sound “ts.” He should feel one touch of the air stream. Then bring his hand to his lips and ask him to repeat the sound. At the same time, you can pretend that you are telling someone to be quieter: “Tskstsk.”

Exercise No. 7. Working with hissing

The problem with the pronunciation of sibilants is so widespread that it occurs even in children's classics. For example, in “Deniska’s Stories” by Dragunsky: “... not a joke, not a detective, but a giggle!” To teach your preschooler to pronounce sibilants, try these exercises:

let the baby “punish” his tongue by sticking it out slightly and spanking it with his lips, saying “five-five-five”;
Place a small piece of candy (marmalade or toffee) on the tip of the child’s tongue and ask him to stick it on the roof of his mouth, right behind the upper incisors;
hiss together: play snake, deflating balloon, boiling kettle.

The first sounds and words of babies are very funny and provoke uncontrollable smiles in adults. But everyone suddenly stops having fun when they hear incomprehensible phrases from schoolchildren or students. Communication is the most important component of every person’s life. Expressing your thoughts in a structured manner, correctly formulating answers to questions asked, and speaking beautifully and correctly are skills that you should begin to strive for in early childhood.

Unfortunately, most parents do not devote much time to the process of speech development in children. Adults naively believe that it is too early for a child of 5–6 years to go to a speech therapist, they say, all defects will go away on their own as they grow older. But there is a chance that speech problems will not disappear. Often, incorrect pronunciation of sounds in an adult begins precisely with early “dropouts.”

A child with crooked speech is doomed to constant ridicule from others. And if you don’t deal with the problem in time, then in adulthood he will become a terribly complex, withdrawn and uncommunicative person. Today speech therapists can correct the situation, offering system development speech with the help of special games and exercises. However, it is possible to organize educational classes for a child at home.

Types of speech defects

Before starting exercises and activities, we recommend that you understand the main types of disorders in the pronunciation of sounds. A child’s speech may be distorted due to:

Stuttering. The most common speech defect. It is possible to determine the presence of stuttering in a child closer to the age of 3 years, since during this period he begins to construct his first large sentences. In this case, sessions with an experienced speech therapist cannot be avoided. The specialist will offer games to eliminate the defect and develop speech, which are guaranteed to give positive result. Stuttering is an insidious problem. It is important not to give up working with your child even after achieving success, because there are often cases when the problem returns.
Dislalia. A similar defect often occurs in a child 3-5 years old. Without going into science, dyslalia is confusion in the pronunciation of certain consonant sounds (“l”, “r”, “sh” and others). It is worth contacting a speech therapist with this problem as soon as crooked speech becomes noticeable, preferably in the same year.
Nasality. This phenomenon is also classified as a defect, but the main root of the problem here is in the incorrect structure of the speech apparatus. If you discover such a problem, be sure to contact an otolaryngologist; a speech therapist will not be able to help the child in this situation.
GSD (general speech underdevelopment). By the age of 6, a child’s speech should be coherent and interesting. If a preschooler experiences certain difficulties when speaking, then most likely the reason lies in the wrong approach to communicating with him. OHP often occurs in children whose parents lisped a lot, distorted endings and uttered only diminutive forms of words. All this created a huge “mess” in the child’s head, which is why the child now independently confuses endings and uses incorrect prepositions. The defect can be eliminated in a timely manner if you take your child to a speech therapist before the age of 6.
Neurological diseases. If you notice that working with your child at home is not bringing any results, consult a qualified neurologist. Possibly required special treatment. It is important to note that a speech therapist cannot help your child with this problem.
SRD (speech development delay). By the age of 3-5, every average child begins to chatter incessantly. If you notice that your baby has a small vocabulary, you should definitely visit a speech therapist for a speech test.

Observe your child and his speech. By regularly communicating with your baby, you will definitely notice the presence of any problems with the pronunciation of sounds. If any are found, be sure to make an appointment with a speech therapist, no matter how old the child is.

When to contact a speech therapist?

Each child is unique, so language development may vary slightly. Usually by the age of 5 the child already knows how to:

Pronounce all existing sounds. An exception may be hissing ones, rarely “L”.
Make sentences of 5-7 words.
Understand the difference between singular and plural.
Describe things indicating their main qualities and characteristics.
Conduct a dialogue with peers and adults.
Quickly say your first, last and patronymic names and your age.

If a 5-year-old child does not know how to do something from the list, it will be useful for him to attend several speech therapist lessons.

Speech therapy classes for childrenare aimed at increasing vocabulary, developing fine motor skills and proper breathing, and correcting sound pronunciation defects.

It is worth saying that you should not immediately take your child to a speech therapist. Children develop better at home. Here they feel more comfortable.

Home games for speech development

Speech therapy classes for children - targeted communication with the baby in a playful way.

All existing speech development exercises can be divided into 4 groups:

finger games;
articulation gymnastics;
onomatopoeia and logorhythmics;
games to expand a child's vocabulary.

Finger games for speech development

Some of the most effective activities for speech development are exercises that involve the use of fine motor skills, since there is a close connection between the human limbs and the brain center responsible for pronunciation. In addition, such games are suitable for children with just developing speech, for example, at the age of 1 year.

Your child will definitely enjoy the following exercises:

"Flower". In the starting position, form a bud from your closed palms, your fingers should be raised up, and your wrists should be pressed tightly. After the plant blooms, the fingers spread in opposite directions. While doing the exercise, say: “The sun wakes up - the bud opens. The sun is tired - the flower is going to bed.”
"Kitty." Algorithm of actions for speech development exercises: clench your fists and place them on the surface directly in front of you. Afterwards, you need to simultaneously open your palms and press them firmly to the table. During the process you need to say: “Fist - palm. I stomp like a cat." Repeat 3-5 times, varying the pace.
"Hedgehog". The child will definitely enjoy this exercise. In the starting position, place your palms at a slight angle and interlace the fingers of both hands. In the process, move your fingers evenly and say: “Tiny cheerful hedgehog. How good are you?
"The Bird and the Water" Children 5 years old are crazy about this exercise. Initially, you need to place your elbow on the table, raise your forearm and fold your fingers in a “pinch” - this will be a “beak”. When completing the task, lower your “beak” (elbow motionless) and touch the table. In the process, imitate the movements of the bird: take water, straighten your neck, swallow. Accompany the exercise with a patter: “Bent over, picked up, picked up and swallowed.”
"Chicks in the Nest." Gather the fingers of your left hand into a “bunch” - these will be “chicks”. Make a ring with the fingers of your right hand - this will be a “nest”. Send the birds to the nest, taking turns changing hand positions. Add text accompaniment: “Here are the chicks, and here is the nest. The chicks are warm inside.”

Finger gymnastics with learning texts at home is an excellent alternative to regular visits to a speech therapist. Such games provoke the development of speech, teach the use of spatial imagination and develop reaction speed. Later short time you will notice that the baby begins to remember texts better and speak more expressively.

Articulation gymnastics

Speech therapy classes for 5-6 year old children must include articulatory gymnastics, which is a complex exercise to warm up the tongue and lips. The baby’s ability to perform some of the movements necessary for correct sound pronunciation depends on how trained and developed the tongue and lips are. To make activities with your child effective, be sure to use a mirror of the appropriate size. The baby must see how his speech organs work. You don’t need to be a speech therapist to show your child how to do the exercises correctly:

"Swing". Smile, showing all your teeth. First, lower the tip of your tongue to your lower teeth, then lift it and hide it behind your upper teeth. The result is a kind of swing. Ask your child to repeat the exercise after you 4-5 times while playing.
“Brushing our teeth.” By the age of 5, children can already keep their mouth clean on their own. In this exercise, you need to simulate brushing your teeth and rinsing them, but without using toothpaste and a brush. Starting position: smile with your mouth wide open. Next, you need to tense the tip of your tongue and clean with all your might. lower teeth from the inside, then lift the tip up and carefully work upper teeth. It is important that you cannot close your mouth. Repeat the exercise 8-10 times. Now ask your child to close his mouth and “rinse” it.
"Jam". You need to smile with your mouth slightly open. Now ask your baby to lick first the upper and then the lower lip with the tip of his tongue. After 10 repetitions, you need to change the direction of movement.

Regular repetitions of these simple speech therapy exercises will actively contribute to the development of speech in a 5-6 year old child.

Onomatopoeia and logorhythmics

Classes with a speech therapist in the clinic often include a block of exercises to develop correct hearing. At home, you can easily create similar conditions to develop your child’s speech and auditory perception with the help of simple exercises. All you need is time, a phone or computer with a speaker, and available tools.

Games aimed at developing hearing:

"Ears". Take several items made from different materials. Metal and wooden spoons, glass and crystal glasses are suitable. Invite your child to listen to what these objects sound like, then ask him to close his eyes and guess what this thing is just by ear.
"Meow". Find a recording online with the voices of animals known to your child. Turn it on and ask your child to guess which animal the voice belongs to.
"Street". Download a recording with the sounds of various vehicles. Invite your child to listen to it and say what kind of transport passed. For recognition, it is better to take familiar types of vehicles - a truck, car, motorcycle, tractor.
“Where is the noise?” An excellent game for developing spatial hearing. Place the child in the center of the room and blindfold him. Take the bell and walk around it silently, jingling it periodically. The baby needs to identify the source of the noise by ear and point his hand in its direction.

To develop hearing and speech, speech therapists often ask children to imitate the voices of animals and birds, as well as household noises. Take turns saying “tick-tock”, “chick-chick”, “drip-drip”, “woof-woof”, “w-w-w” and the like with your child.

Logorhythmics is a set of exercises that includes the simultaneous use of movement, speech and music (optional). With the help of such games, developing a child’s speech is as easy as shelling pears. Remember about the bull that walks and staggers. Speak the text, show the movements. Let the child repeat after the adults. It will be fun for both the child and you.

Expansion of vocabulary and speech development

For a child, games for speech development, first of all, should be interesting. Tongue twisters are what you need for useful and productive communication in a playful way. Short rhyming phrases are easy to remember, which allows you to seriously expand your baby's vocabulary. A 5-year-old child uses passive and active dictionaries. The first consists of words that he understands, the second - those that he often uses. To improve both vocabularies, be sure to include tongue twister exercises in your speech development games.

To ensure that speech therapy exercises are easy for your child and that positive results appear as early as possible, follow these simple recommendations:

Even if you are not a speech therapist by profession, explain to your child the meaning of the classes. Tell him that all the games are aimed at developing his speech, and the ability to speak beautifully and clearly is an attribute of every adult.
Speech therapist games with children should be easy. If a child gets carried away by what is happening, he will direct all his forces in the right direction.
Limit the time your child spends on speech development classes and other school preparation lessons. It is advisable that the exercises be done daily, but not more than 15 minutes each, since it is still difficult for a 5-year-old child to concentrate.
Praise kids for their successes. It will be much easier to instill a child’s interest in games for speech development if he is sure that he will not be punished, but will be supported.
Become a role model. The child develops speech from observations of your behavior. Therefore, always speak correctly, clearly and with expression.

No matter how old a child is, improving his speech and helping with all-round development is one of the most important responsibilities of parents. The BrainApps service can be an additional assistant in this difficult task. The portal contains hundreds of highly effective simulators, classes on which will improve memory, attention, thinking and concentration of both adults and children. If you are tired of regular games to develop correct sound pronunciation, try working out with your baby on BrainApps simulators. The result may pleasantly surprise you and your child will probably not need a speech therapist.
