Helpful Tips:
- Learning tongue twisters using mnemonic tracks will greatly facilitate this process. The child perceives the word through an image - a picture, model, symbol, sign. And mnemonics are aimed precisely at this - replacing words with images. Even prepositions are denoted by images (you can find models of prepositions below in the article).
- Before you start working with these mnemonic tracks, you need to consolidate the skills of clear pronunciation and distinguishing the sound “Z” in syllables and words. We teach kids to highlight this sound at the beginning, middle and end of words. Coloring pages for the sound “Z” will help you with this.
- All classes on sound automation are based on the principle of simple to complex.
- Each lesson should begin with a warm-up, these are 2-3 articulatory gymnastics exercises.
- Next, we move on to the isolated pronunciation of the sound “Z”, automation in syllables, words, phrases, sentences and other game exercises.
- If the child does not learn or it is difficult for him to complete new tasks, you can go back and consolidate the pronunciation on simpler material.
- When selecting tongue twisters, consider which sounds the child pronounces correctly and which ones he does not. Accordingly, select only those tongue twisters that the child can say correctly, pronouncing ALL SOUNDS . Otherwise, you can not only fail to develop the child’s speech, but, on the contrary, worsen it by reinforcing incorrect pronunciation.
- It is imperative to ensure the correct pronunciation of the sound “Z” when pronouncing a tongue twister. If the child does not succeed, stop him and say this word slowly. Repeat it several times.
- First learn tongue twisters at a slow pace, perhaps syllable by syllable. Gradually increase the pace.
- Pay attention to the clarity of all words for the child. Check with your child to see if he understands all the words; if not, explain their meaning.
Tongue twisters for the development of speech and diction in children 2, 3, 4 years old
