What is articulation gymnastics?
This is gymnastics for the organs of articulation (lips, tongue, jaws). If a child’s pronunciation of sounds is impaired, this indicates that his speech apparatus muscles are not sufficiently developed. The goal of articulatory gymnastics is to develop clear movements necessary for pronouncing various groups of sounds. Systematic performance of articulatory gymnastics promotes proper muscle development and prepares the child to produce sounds, but cannot replace the work of a speech therapist.
Articulation gymnastics is needed not only for children with impaired sound pronunciation, but also for everyone else. Correct articulation will make any child's speech clear, clear and correct.
You can perform the exercises at any free time, but it is better if the child is not very excited, since he will have to spend time quietly, sitting in front of the mirror, for 10-15 minutes.
At the initial stage, it is recommended to do articulatory gymnastics in front of a large mirror, in which the child can see both himself and the adult. If you don’t have such a mirror, then a small table mirror will be suitable for your baby. In it, the child will see his organs of articulation, and an adult will sit opposite the child and be able to show him a sample of how to perform the exercises. The role of parents in performing the exercises is to demonstrate correctly, as well as to control the clear and correct execution of the exercises by the child. Attention should be paid to how well the child performs the exercise, monitor the quality and volume of movements of the articulation organs, their strength, and accuracy of movements. It is necessary to improve the ability to hold organs in the desired position.
Each exercise is repeated from 3 to 5-6 times. The complex does not need to include more than 10 exercises.
Types of articulation exercises
All articulatory gymnastics exercises are divided into 2 types: static and dynamic.
In static exercises you need to hold a certain position motionless. Such exercises include “Spatula” (“Pancake”), “Needle”, “Cup”, “Mushroom”, “Pipe” (“Pipe”), “Fence”, “Trunk” and others.
In dynamic exercises, you don’t just need to hold a position, but perform certain movements. In them, it is important to monitor the precise execution of movements and the position of the articulatory organs. For example: in the “Brushing your teeth” exercise, your lips should be stretched to the sides so that your teeth are exposed. Only the tip of the tongue should move during the exercise. The jaw and lips should remain motionless.
But before starting to perform articulatory gymnastics, it would be a good idea for parents to consolidate with their child knowledge about orientation in space: top - bottom, right - left, forward - back. All these concepts will constantly sound as instructions for the correct execution of exercises.
Once you start doing articulation gymnastics with your child, you will see how difficult it is for him to perform certain exercises. The baby may have increased salivation, trembling of the tip of the tongue, difficulty holding the organ in a certain position, and much more. During this period, it is better not to concentrate the baby’s attention on his shortcomings. You need to constantly praise your child for his diligence and desire to do the exercise correctly.
Over time, the tension in the organs will begin to disappear, and its movements will become more precise and coordinated. Then it’s time to start alternating static exercises (i.e. those when the position of an organ is fixed for a certain time). It is good to alternate exercises “Fence” and “Tube”, “Proboscis” and “Smile”, “Shovel” and “Needle”.
When working with a child, you should always remember that by showing your imagination, you can make any activity for your child an exciting game and turn it into a fairy tale to which the child will return again and again. The presentations we present on this page are designed to create a positive emotional mood in the child while performing articulatory gymnastics .
