Using kinesiology tools in speech therapy to eliminate dyslexia
Reading plays a big role in the process of mastering various knowledge. Errors made when reading are considered quite common among children of primary school age. A student suffering from reading impairments does not always correctly understand the tasks read in class, which entails persistent academic failure.
Studying the research of domestic authors who devoted their work to the study of reading in children, the following names should be highlighted: M.E. Khvattsev, R.E. Levina, A.N. Kornev, R.I. Lalaeva et al. Reading disorders have a negative impact on all learning as a whole, on the mental and speech development of the child.
Timely identification of these defects, a clear definition of their pathogenesis in each individual case, and the delimitation of dyslexia from reading disorders of another nature is very necessary for selecting a system of speech therapy work with children.
Traditional, generally accepted pedagogical methods of correction are not always effective.
In case of dysontogenetic (impaired) development of a child, it is necessary to eliminate the defect with the help of neuropsychological corrective measures.
One of the components of such work may be kinesiological correction .
Kinesiology is the science of developing mental abilities and physical health through certain motor exercises (L.F. Vasilyeva).
