The development and strengthening of his muscles makes it possible to accurately and clearly disappear all the words and sounds, making it a clearer and understandable.

Articulating gymnastics is necessary for children to develop sound pronunciation skills

Articulating gymnastics - what is it?

Articulating gymnastics is a set of exercises for the development of the articulation apparatus - increasing the mobility and development of mobile motility, language, cheeks, bridles, which is required for proper reproduction of sounds. The purpose of classes by articulation gymnastics is to work out movements by all the organs listed above and bring to automatibus the occupation of the necessary positions.

A child for good diction and pronunciation requires strong lips and language that easily change their position. It is to achieve this and necessary to deal with it with articulation gymnastics, performing special exercises and playing the speech therapy games.

Often, speech defects and insufficiently clear dictations become an obstacle to the complete communication of the child with peers, which negatively affects his psycho-emotional state. It is possible to reduce the likelihood of such problems in children with the help of articulation gymnastics, to start playing which should be as early as possible. For children at the age of 2 - 4, it will help to learn how to correctly pronounce all the sounds, in 5 to 7 years - it will adjust and reduce speech defects.

It is possible to engage in gymnastics for the tongue with a speech therapist or at home in front of the mirror

Who to do with the baby?

It is possible to study with the child articulating gymnastics yourself, however, it is necessary to periodically inspect the speech therapist, starting from 1.5 to 2 years. By 4 years, it is already quite clearly visible, with the utterance of which sounds the baby has problems. It happens that at five years they pass by themselves, but it is right to assess the development of speech in a child and determine how much it corresponds to age, can only specialist. It is he who should do and adjust the pronunciation of the baby in the presence of problems. Based on individual features, the doctor will appoint a special exercise complex, will explain how to perform them correctly and will demonstrate it in his own example.

Almost in every kindergarten operated a speech therapist, so there are also engaged in articulating gymnastics. It not only conducts a regular inspection, but also, starting with 5 years of age, is engaged in the elimination of defects, conducting lessons for speech development. However, these classes are often not enough, if there are pronounced problems, will require regularly perform all the necessary exercises and at home.

Starting the exercise should be started in front of the mirror - so the child will be able to watch the movements of the lips and the language. Unlike adults who have all movements automatically, the baby requires visual to display all its actions during classes to work out the necessary skills.

The goal of the gymnastics is to make a tongue with strong and moving and teach it to take it necessary for pronounced positions

Adults, pronouncing sounds, do it without thinking about the language setting, lip position, breathing. The child, which only masters their correct pronunciation, all these moments are pretty difficult and low-touch. Lips and language listened to him with great difficulty, constantly trying to take a more convenient, but not always the right position.

It is easier to make classes and more interesting for a child, turning boring and incomprehensible exercises into fun games and stories about the adventures of the language, accompanying them with verses and riddles. Offer to submit to him that his tongue lives in his house (mouth), where he hides behind a high fence (teeth). He goes to bed, looks into the window, goes for a walk, turns into a kitten or a horse, riding a ship - so you can imagine any exercise, like a fascinating game and a whole story about his life.

Overestimate the value of the articulation gym for kids is very difficult. It is comparable to the role of morning charging and has a similar effect on the muscles of the face - strengthens them, improves blood circulation in them, develops mobility and flexibility. Secure the existing skills and purchase new will allow the daily execution of the recommended complex, having led to classes for 5 minutes several times a day and repeating each exercise from 4 to 8 times.

It is possible that the performance of some exercises can cause difficulties even with you. In this case, make them together with the child, do not hesitate to admit to him in their difficulties. Take care, and keep calm - and at some point you will achieve success. Help you in his achievement are able to pictures with the image of each articulation exercise or special speech therapy video.
