Lesson notes - Sound and letter “M” for preschoolers with OHP

The letter M (em) is found in all Slavic Cyrillic alphabets. Even non-Slavic peoples have this letter in their writing.

We can say that this is a universal letter, because it is found in almost all languages ​​of the world.

The Old Slavonic and Church Slavonic alphabets gave the name of the letter “myslEte” with the emphasis on the penultimate syllable, E. The letter had the meaning “think”, which is quite logical, judging by the name it had.

Articulation and pronunciation of M

If we pronounce a word that contains such a sound, for example: ball, Masha, we will feel that the lips are slightly compressed, the tongue inside the oral cavity is moved back a little and even slightly pulled up to the upper palate with its middle part.

Then we feel the air begin to come out through the nose. A voice is heard, i.e. the sound is loud.

He doesn't have a partner, i.e. there is no sound similar to [m], but dull.

It can be pronounced firmly or softly. It depends on the letters next to the M.

Carrot - ball (hard - soft).

Remember: The letter M stands for the consonant sound [m]. It can be hard or soft, but it is always a labial nasal sonorant sound. The sound is softened by vowels - e, e, i, i and a soft sign: mint, chalk, bear, eight and others.

The sounds [m], [m' - m] normally appear in a child between the ages of 0 and 1 year.

If a child at 1 year old does not have the sounds [m], [m'], be sure to contact a speech therapist who works with young children.

How to pronounce the sound [m].

• nasal sound;
• the soft palate is lowered (does not close), part of the air passes through the nose;
• the tongue is passive (flat): the tip of the tongue lies on the bottom of the oral cavity;
• lips are closed and open sharply when pronouncing;
• teeth are open;
• vocal folds are closed;
• the air stream is sounded.

1. Articulatory features of sound [ m ] .

[m] – nasal sound. The soft palate is lowered, part of the air passes through the nose;

[m] – consonant sound. The air escaping from the oral cavity meets a barrier, closed lips;

[m] – ringing sound. When pronouncing the sound [m], the vocal cords are closed, vibrate, and a voice is formed;

[m] – stop-pass sound according to the method of formation. The bow is formed by the lips, but the air stream goes through the nose;

[m] – labial-labial sound at the place of formation. A barrier to the air stream is formed by the lower and upper lips.

1. Acoustic signs of sound [ m ] .

[m] – sonorant (sonorous) sound. Noise is involved to a minimal extent;

[m] - hard sound - the middle part of the back of the tongue does not take an active part.

1. Sound disturbances [ m ] .

The pronunciation of the sound [m] is extremely rarely violated:

- the absence of sound [m] can be due to impaired nasal breathing (adenoids), with pronounced defects of the lips, with a weak orbicularis oris muscle;

— replacement of sound [m];

— sound mixing [m].

How to pronounce the sound [m'].

• nasal sound;

Letter M style

The letter is very easy to write both in written and printed form.

If you print it, then just put two sticks and a tick between them - and you get the letter M.

Many good words begin with the letter M:

• mother is the closest person to everyone;
• Moscow is the capital of a country where people live whose native language is Russian;
• the baby is his mother’s very sweet little man;
• possible - a word that allows you to do pleasant things;
• ice cream is the most delicious treat for children and adults and many, many more wonderful words.

Distinctive features of soft and hard sounds

What sound comes after a consonant:

• If after a consonant there is a vowel a, o, u, e, s, then the consonant is hard.
• If after a consonant there is a vowel and, e, yu, i, then the consonant is soft.

Practice with examples: In the words “mother” and “nora” the consonants are hard, because they are followed by “a” and “o”. In the words “fly” and “nanny” the consonants are soft because they are followed by “e”, “i”, “ya”.

• If another consonant sounds after a consonant, then the first consonant will be hard.
• There are sounds that can only be hard and sounds that can only be soft, no matter what sound is heard or what letter is written after them.

Always hard sounds - zh, sh, ts. Always soft - th, h, shch. A common way to learn these sounds is a simple technique: we write the letters that convey these sounds on a line, and emphasize “th, ch, sch.” The underscore symbolizes the cushion on which the soft sounds sit. The pad is soft, which means the sounds are soft.

Soft sign and hard sign

• If there is a consonant at the end of a word and the letter “b” after it, then the consonant is soft.

This rule is easy to apply if the child sees the written word, but it will not help if the child performs the task by ear.

Movement of the tongue when pronouncing soft and hard sounds

When pronouncing a soft sound, the tongue moves slightly forward, approaching (or touching) the palate with its middle. When pronouncing hard sounds, the tongue does not move forward.

Test "Letter M"

In order to develop phonemic awareness, it will be useful to listen to words containing M at the beginning, middle and end of the word. I prepared a small test for this case.

Ask your parents to read each word out loud to you and try to determine where M is pronounced firmly, where softly, and determine the place of the sound M in the word: beginning, middle, end.

- What are you, what are you! - The mouse was scared. “You can’t eat fly agarics, you’ll end up in the hospital.” Here, listen to the verse about the doctor:

There is no more important doctor in the forest than the lively redhead...

- Aibolit! - the bear cub yelled. - Yes, not Aibolit, but an ant. Aibolit heals animals, and the ant heals the forest. - How do you know so much? - He who reads a lot knows a lot! - the mouse Mouse answered importantly...
