Purr to your health! Simple speech therapy exercises for setting the sound R. Exercise “Start the engine.” How to check the pronunciation of the sound R

Articulatory gymnastics is the basis for the formation of speech sounds - phonemes - and the correction of sound pronunciation disorders of any etiology and pathogenesis; it includes exercises for training the mobility of the organs of the articulatory apparatus, practicing certain positions of the lips, tongue, soft palate, necessary for the correct pronunciation of both all sounds and each sound of a particular group.

The purpose of articulation gymnastics- development of full-fledged movements and certain positions of the organs of the articulatory apparatus necessary for the correct pronunciation of sounds.

1. Articulation gymnastics must be carried out daily so that the skills developed in children are consolidated. It is better to perform the exercises 3-4 times a day for 3-5 minutes. Children should not be offered more than 2-3 exercises at a time.

2. Each exercise is performed 5-7 times.

3. Static exercises are performed for 10-15 seconds (holding the articulatory pose in one position).

4. When selecting exercises for articulatory gymnastics, you must follow a certain sequence, moving from simple exercises to more complex ones. It is better to spend them emotionally, in a playful way.

5. Of the two or three exercises performed, only one can be new; the second and third are given for repetition and consolidation. If a child does not perform an exercise well enough, new exercises should not be introduced; it is better to practice old material. To consolidate it, you can come up with new gaming techniques.

6. Articulation gymnastics is performed while sitting, since in this position the child has a straight back, the body is not tense, and the arms and legs are in a calm position.

7. The child must clearly see the adult’s face, as well as his own face, in order to independently control the correctness of the exercises. Therefore, a child and an adult should be in front of a wall mirror during articulation gymnastics. The child can also use a small hand mirror (approximately 9x12 cm), but then the adult must be opposite the child, facing him.

8. It’s better to start gymnastics with lip exercises.

Organization of articulation gymnastics

At first, when children perform exercises, tension in the movements of the organs of the articulatory apparatus is observed. Gradually the tension disappears, movements become relaxed and at the same time coordinated.

It is known that the sound “r” in the Russian language is one of the most difficult. It requires certain vibrations and movements. We learn to say “r” before the age of five. If by this age a child cannot pronounce this sound correctly, this is a serious reason to think about visiting a speech therapist. The reasons for the violation may be different. However, you can cope with some of them yourself. How to make the sound “r” at home?

How to check?

Any correction begins with diagnosis. In order for the child to master new speech skills correctly and without unnecessary effort, it is necessary to conduct a small articulation test. It includes speech tests for phonemes to fall into various positions. Thanks to this, you can understand in which words the pronunciation of the sound “r” causes difficulty for the child. And also identify which part of the speech apparatus needs training.

The question of how to give a child the sound “r” is solved in several stages. You should check its isolated pronunciation first. Let the child “growl” a little. After this, you need to try different positions:

• Beginning of the word: cancer, river, hand, lynx.
• Middle of a word, between vowels: road, tree, pirate, carriage.
• The middle of a word after/before a consonant: cartridge, picture, tractor driver.
• End of word: cook, jeweler, tiger.
• You should also monitor the pronunciation of sounds in such complex words by articulation as: quarry, barrier, barricades, terrarium.

Depending on the options, speech therapy correction occurs. So, for example, if a child is unable to pronounce either an isolated “r” or in words, then it is necessary to stage the sound, and then consolidate its reproduction in combination with other phonemes. If the sound vibrates purely in isolation, but is distorted in different positions, then you should work on consolidating its pronunciation.

When is correction needed?

In practice, physiological disorders manifest themselves in various pronunciation features. Correction of the phoneme “r” is required in the following cases:

• When the sound is skipped altogether (instead of kaRavai it is pronounced ka_avai);
• When “r” is replaced by the phonemes “l” or “y” (kaLavai, Yak);
• When a softening of sound occurs in words, where, on the contrary, it should sound firm (ryaduga, ryuka);
• There are about 30 types of violations regarding the French pronunciation of “r”; a specialist can identify them.

Causes

Logically, the question arises as to why such a difference in sound occurs? From a physiological point of view, experts identify several reasons:

Impaired mobility of the speech organs. When pronouncing words with the sound “r”, a person’s tongue and lips normally make certain movements. When violated, this does not happen or happens incorrectly. The primary task here is to identify the defect.

Examination. To do this, you can do the following exercises with your child:

• Open and close your mouth in front of the mirror, “slapping” your lips like a fish. Then pull them out with a tube and stretch them into a smile.
• Stick your tongue out far and hide it back.
• Make movements up and down, left and right with the wide part of your tongue (not the tip!).
• Alternately close your left and right eyes. If you observe, during this movement the wide part of the tongue makes small movements to the right and left.

Short frenulum of the tongue. This is a congenital feature in which the mobility of the tongue is impaired. It fits to the bottom of the oral cavity and is fixed sharply in front.

Examination. You can check the length of the frenulum using the following test: the child should open his mouth and reach with the tip of his tongue to the base of the upper teeth, while pronouncing the sound “e”. If the exercise cannot be completed, the frenulum is determined to be shortened.

Speech hearing impairment. Some children confuse phonemes (sounds) that are similar in sound. The consequence of this is incorrect pronunciation and developmental delays.

Examination. As a diagnostic, you can ask the child to “catch” the sound “r” in different words, phonemes and combinations of phonemes: paw, frame, p, o, r, s, w, ma, op, ish, es etc. When recognizing “p”, he must clap his hands. Thanks to this variety, you can understand where the confusion occurs.

Improper breathing when speaking. Breathing is the basis of the sound of the voice. With shallow breathing or confused speech exhalation, “swallowing” of sounds or grazing (burring) may be observed. The last point is very difficult to correct.

Articulation gymnastics

Each problem described above has an individual solution. Thus, articulatory gymnastics for the sound “r” helps to cope with speech mobility disorders. It is aimed at alternating tension and relaxation. A series of exercises when repeated daily gives noticeable results after just a week. This is a very convenient tool for choosing a solution to the problem of how to make the sound “r” at home.

Exercises:

"Spatula"

The mouth is slightly open, the tongue lies freely on the lower lip. And the upper one slaps freely on the tongue and at the same time the sound “five-five-five...” is pronounced. Finally, leave your tongue in a relaxed (starting) position for 10 seconds.

"Let's brush our teeth"

The mouth is slightly open. Using the tip of your tongue, you need to depict brushing your teeth from the outside and inside in the direction up and down and left and right on each tooth.

"We hammer in nails"

The mouth is slightly open. Using the tip of your tongue, “tap” the base of your upper teeth, counting from 1 to 10.

"Painter"

The mouth is slightly open. Lips and jaws are motionless. The tip of the tongue, like a brush, slides across the upper palate from the depths to the base of the teeth and back. Repeat the exercise up to 10 times.

Short bridle

Articulatory gymnastics for the sound “r” also includes exercises for stretching the shortened frenulum. They are relevant at an early age, helping to stretch the hyoid ligament while the tissues are amenable to change.

Exercises:

"Horse"

The mouth is slightly open. The lips are fixed in a smile. Press the wide part of the tongue against the upper palate and then “tear off” it with a click. It is necessary to ensure that the lips and lower jaw remain motionless.

"Fungus"

The mouth is wide open, the tongue is completely pressed to the upper palate. Then, as the mouth closes, it lifts away from the roof of the mouth. This exercise is accompanied by a certain breathing rhythm. Inhale through the nose - the mouth is open, exhale through the mouth while it is closed.

"Harmonic"

The exercise is similar to the previous one. Only now the tongue remains pressed to the palate with the mouth wide open and closed. This movement should be repeated up to 10 times.

"Swing"

The mouth is slightly open. The lips are fixed in a smile. Raise the wide part of the tongue by the upper teeth, and then lower it by the lower teeth. The tongue does not narrow, and the lips and jaws do not move.

If the exercises are not beneficial or the anomaly is detected late or advanced, then it can only be eliminated surgically, by making a small incision of the frenulum. This is a fast and safe procedure.

Speech therapy exercises

Speech therapy exercises for the sound “r” are also intended for the development of the speech apparatus. Experts recommend techniques in certain breathing rhythms. They will help to simultaneously remove disturbances in the mobility of the speech organs and speech breathing. Such universal exercises include:

• Repeatedly pronounce the sounds “d” and “t” while exhaling. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the sound is clear (not through the nose!).
• Pronunciation of syllables "duh-duh"“you-you”, “you-you”, “you-yes”, "da-da-da""you-ta-te".
• Consolidating correct speech exhalation in independent speech.

Speech hearing

A common case in the problem of speech hearing impairment is the substitution of phonemes “r” for “l”. Therefore, when conducting homework, the sound “r” should alternate in words with the sound “l” in the same positions (beginning, middle and end of the word). The child needs to learn to distinguish these phonemes by ear.

The words sound: hand, varnish, city, milk, mosquito, chalk. After a separate recitation, the child should raise his hand at the sound “r”. In this case, he does not need to repeat the word.

As you can see, solving the question of how to put the sound “r” at home requires considerable ingenuity. Words with extraneous sounds (except for “l” and “r”) can be woven into the test flow, as well as the pronunciation of the problematic phoneme in combination with consonant sounds ( frame, laurel, defeat and so on.). Speech therapy exercises for the sound “r” here are aimed at setting the phoneme in complex combinations:

First, the “d” is pronounced for a long time. The tongue is represented as a sail, pronunciation occurs as you exhale. Then a vibrating “r” is added to the phoneme: fight, friendship, tree. A similar exercise can be done with a combination with the phoneme “t”: labor, trolleybus, trawl.

First there is a long pronunciation of “z” (“the mosquito is buzzing”). In this case, the tip of the tongue touches the upper teeth. Then it quickly moves along the tubercles of the palate near the teeth (“the mosquito is frozen and trembling”). After this warm-up, you can connect words with combinations: vision, pupil, hello.

Mechanical assistance

For such exercises you will need a teaspoon, a cotton swab or a pacifier. The main thing is that the object must be clean, without sharp edges. While the child pronounces the sound “z” or “d” for a long time (the mouth is open), the adult moves the object under the tongue to the right and left. In this case, fluctuations should occur. As a result of such manipulations, a rolling “r” sound will be clearly heard from the child.

Consolidation

The entire production of the sound “r” in a child occurs according to a certain algorithm: individual sounds, syllables, words. After mastering this part, you can move on to composing word combinations and sentences based on pictures. This is the consolidation of the sound “r”. A more difficult stage is learning pure tongue twisters, tongue twisters, poems and songs. In this case, you can use special literature and speech therapy games. Presenting the material in this way will only fuel the child’s interest in the lessons and have a positive impact on the results.

It’s not difficult to figure out how to make the “r” sound at home. This requires patience, strict adherence to instructions and daily practice. However, disorders are sometimes not only physiological, and the help of a neuropsychologist is required. If a speech therapist corrects the sound “r” with the help of exercises and games, then the neuropsychologist’s task becomes to study the processes in the brain and their connection with the speech problem. With age, incorrect pronunciation of the vibrating phoneme becomes the norm. And it becomes more difficult to correct this “bad habit” without qualified help. Therefore, experts recommend paying attention to a child’s speech as early as five years old.

What should adults do?

How to give a child the sound “r” has long been a well-studied problem. But what should adults do? Is speech correction possible in this case? Partly yes. But there are a lot of pitfalls here. First of all, an adult must recognize his defect and begin to correct it. A visit to a speech therapist is not always necessary here, although you can seek advice so that the cause is clearly stated (if it is unknown) and a set of exercises is selected. For adults it differs in difficulty level. It includes breathing articulation exercises, but without mechanical assistance, as well as reading specially selected texts out loud and singing.

Most domestic speech therapists agree that learning to pronounce the sound R correctly and fluently is one of the most difficult speech tasks for children. Few of them cope with it independently and on time. However, not only specialists, but also parents themselves can help them. With the help of elementary speech therapy exercises to produce the sound R.

Sound R: right-wrong

The sound R is one of the most difficult sounds in the Russian language. To reproduce it, refined movements of the speech apparatus, sufficient vibration and amplitude of the tongue and other physiological “achievements” are required. It is not surprising that most children experience certain difficulties in forming the correct pronunciation of the sound R.

As a rule, there are not so many options for involuntary distortion of the sound R among the younger generation. The most common children's “bullying” of the sound R:

• The sound just skips and falls out. This is especially true for words where the sound R is between vowels: sa_ai(instead of a barn), ha_azh(instead of a garage), ma_oz(instead of frost);
• Instead of the sound R, the sound L, Y or Y is obtained: Kojowa(instead of a cow), Luke(instead of hand) klaska(instead of paint), fish(instead of fish);
• The sound R is pronounced recognizable, but not typical for the Russian language (bilingual children especially often “sin” with this). A child may not pronounce the sound “firmly”, as is typical for our speech, but, for example, grate (as is customary in French), or vibrate excessively (as is typical in English).

How to check the pronunciation of the sound R in a child? First, ask your baby to “growl” - in other words, say the sound R several times on its own, and not as part of any words. Then have the child repeat after you words like: crow, king, grass, order, etc. If the child is unable to pronounce the single sound R, then the first thing you have to do is to practice exactly this - teach the baby to pronounce the sound R by itself. If the child “growls” “excellently”, but pronounces the sound R incorrectly in words, then correct pronunciation should be practiced primarily in the syllables: ra-ro-ru-ri-ar-or-ir, etc.

Release the R sound from the reins

Since the article deals specifically with “home” exercises for producing the R sound in children, the first step is to remind you: even if you, full of parental love and speech therapy enthusiasm, decided to independently teach your baby to roar loudly no worse than a tiger cub and without embarrassment declare a rhymed story about a bitten Greek at family matinees, then you still need at least one, initial, consultation with a professional and experienced speech therapist.

The fact is that often the inability to correctly pronounce the sound P is explained not so much by a poorly developed articulatory apparatus, low mobility of the tongue and similar problems, but by the individual structure of the hyoid ligament - the so-called “frenulum”. And only a doctor can determine this nuance.

In most cases, the underdevelopment of the “frenulum” (due to which the baby’s tongue simply does not reach the upper palate, which makes it difficult to pronounce a number of sounds, including the sound R) can be leveled through daily exercises and special massage. But sometimes there are cases when this ligament needs to be trimmed in order for the tongue to acquire the proper range of motion. It is this dilemma - to cut or not - that a speech therapist can resolve. Moms and dads, don’t worry - modern doctors in most cases are inclined to the method of stretching the “frenulum” by performing special speech therapy exercises, including exercises for producing the sound R.

Other reasons for incorrect pronunciation of the sound R

Inactive articulatory apparatus. NOTE: In this case, you should focus not so much on directly producing the sound R, but on... grimacing! In a playful way, stimulate your baby to actively “move in the mouth” - let him stick out his tongue, twist it into a tube (children love this!), try to reach his nose or chin with his tongue, move his jaws, bare his teeth, stretch his lips in an “ah” smile. la Cheshire cat” and so on and so forth. All these funny pranks will quickly strengthen the facial muscles and develop the mobility of the speech organs.

Phonemic hearing impairment. NOTE: As a rule, phonemic hearing disorders (when a child hears the speech structures of adults, recognizes them and tries to reproduce them in his speech) manifests itself in the fact that a child aged four or more misses letters/sounds in words when speaking or reading. confuses voiced and voiceless consonants, as well as soft and hard consonants (for example: love- loobof, nanny- nana, door- hard, stool- diaburedka and so on.)

“Problems” in speech breathing. NOTE: Speech breathing is the basis for proper adequate sound production. The most common speech breathing disorders are usually chronic runny nose, enlarged adenoids, some immune diseases, and diseases of the cardiovascular system. To develop proper speech breathing, we use our own special gymnastics (where speech is combined with physical exercises), which is usually prescribed by a speech therapist, adapting to the individual characteristics of the child.

Science has proven that the ability to pronounce complex sounds - including the sound R - is determined not only by the developed articulatory apparatus and the characteristics of the speech that the child constantly hears, but partly also genetically.

If there are no serious physiological reasons for the child’s diction problems, then get recommendations on speech gymnastics from a speech therapist and start daily exercises.

Now is the time for speech therapy exercises

You should seriously think about producing the sound R if the child is five years old and has not yet learned to growl and purr “cleanly” and loudly. They still swim in his aquarium smiles, fly into the sky Shaiiki, and they give milk koevs...

The first consultation with an experienced speech therapist will enrich you with knowledge of exactly what problems your baby has with the articulation apparatus, and what specific exercises you should practice with him. But in addition to special gymnastics, there is also a more or less common set of exercises for all cases of producing the sound P, which you also have to perform daily with your baby. Get ready for the fact that you will spend an average of half an hour a day on this, and the whole epic of mastering pronunciation can last for a year and a half.

As a rule, the production of the sound P, as well as other sounds, is divided into three stages:

• first you must teach your child to confidently pronounce this sound in isolation, on its own;
• then you should master confident pronunciation of sounds in syllables and words;
• and only then train the sound in continuous speech, sentences and tongue twisters.

In everyday life, you can often observe the opposite picture: parents hang over the child, jabbering tongue twisters and calling on the child to immediately repeat what was said. Alas, this tactic almost always fails - the child gets scared and refuses to train at all.

The key to success: patience and work

Be patient and go from simple to complex. Fortunately or unfortunately, the speech therapy task is fundamentally different, for example, from trying to teach someone to swim - if you can learn to float on the water and flounder your limbs overnight, then, alas, it’s definitely not possible to pronounce sounds correctly. Because what plays a role here is not so much the technique of execution, but the gradual development and strengthening of the articulatory apparatus.

Remember one simple rule: any activity, including speech therapy exercises, should bring pleasure and positive emotions to the child. How you achieve this is your problem, not the baby's. And only if your offspring is happy to perform speech gymnastics (and keep in mind that it is easy for you to move your tongue and pronounce different sounds, but for a baby this is always a huge amount of work, discomfort, and sometimes even certain painful sensations), you will achieve success.

Invent fun and amusing activities for your child with the sound/letter P, turn daily speech exercises into a funny game, and never (even as a joke!) tease your baby - and you yourself will not notice how the child will become firmly “friends” with all the sounds of his native speech . Even with something as insidious as the sound R.

Warm-up exercises

Making the sound R is a daily exercise. Each of which begins with a warm-up and “warming up” of the articulatory apparatus. The most effective warm-up exercises:

Exercise "Paint brush". The baby should smile and open his mouth slightly. Next, as if with a brush, he should “stroke” the upper palate with his tongue - from the upper teeth and as deep as possible towards the throat. Repeat the exercise 10-12 times.

Exercise "Pendulum". As in the first case, you need to smile and open your mouth. Slightly stick your tongue forward and swing it from side to side - from the right corner of your mouth to the left and so on. About 10-20 times.

Exercise "Accordion". We smile again and open our mouth. We press our tongue to the upper palate, as if we are going to pronounce a soft and long sound “n”. Without changing the position of the tongue, we open our mouth as wide as possible, then close it, open it and close it. About 15-20 times.

“Brushing our teeth.” Starting position - smile and open your mouth. Using the tip of the tongue, we move along the inner surface of the upper teeth from left to right, as if we are “sweeping” them. We do the exercise 10-15 times. Then, without changing the starting position, we alternately press the tongue against each upper tooth from the inside, as if checking whether it is in place.

Exercise "Mosquito". A very fun exercise! The baby should open his mouth and move the tip of his tongue behind his front teeth. In this position, try to pronounce the sound “z-z-z”, then move the tongue back, this time resting it on the upper palate at the base of the teeth and pronounce “z-z-z” again.

All these exercises perfectly develop the articulatory apparatus, strengthen the muscles and gradually stretch the “frenulum”. However, to practice the “R” sound, special staging exercises are needed.

Exercises for making the sound R

Some of the simplest exercises suitable for independent daily speech gymnastics include the following:

• 1 The child opens his mouth and presses the tip of his tongue to the base of the upper teeth, rhythmically and quickly pronouncing the sound “d-d-d.” After a couple of seconds, ask him, without stopping, to blow strongly on the tip of his tongue (that is, try to say “d-d-d” while exhaling forcefully). The sound R will not work yet, but the baby should feel a noticeable vibration of the tongue and gradually remember it.
• 2 For the next exercise you will need a special speech therapy spatula (it can be purchased in specialized stores, pharmacies and online stores). Nowadays, they are made quite comfortable for the baby, often with the smell of caramel, chocolate or fruit. Use it very carefully, but confidently, without timidity. So: to begin with, ask the child, opening his mouth wider, to pronounce the sound “w-w-w”, gradually moving the tongue closer to the base of the upper teeth. Give him a couple of seconds to get used to it, and then carefully insert the spatula under your child’s tongue and begin to rhythmically (but not too much!) swing it left and right, creating vibration. At this time, the child should blow strongly on his sound “zh-zh-zh” - this way he will feel the vibration created by the air and the vibrations of the spatula.
• 3 Ask your baby to open his mouth wide and at the same time pronounce the syllable “z-z-za”, moving his tongue as far back as possible. At this time, as in exercise 2, slip a spatula under his tongue and rhythmically move it left and right. If this speech therapy exercise is performed correctly, you should hear a fairly distinct “R” sound.
• 4 In the same way, ask the child to pronounce the sound “z-z-zi” with his mouth open, and do the same manipulations with the spatula as in the previous exercise. In this case, the softer sound R is used, which is used in words like “rhyme”, “rice”, “drawing”...

It is known that in his youth Lenin was very complex because of his burr. And at one time, the future leader of the world proletariat paid great attention to exercises on producing the sound R. Since the articulation of the sound R is similar to the articulation of the sound D, he trained on words in which D and R stand side by side. Often from Volodya’s room one could hear the speech therapy “mantra”: fight, firewood, tease...

You are the “teacher of the year”!

Since children are great repeaters, at every opportunity, do not be lazy to show your child how well and skillfully you pronounce the sound R. In fact, you are your child’s best teacher and mentor.

Lean closer to him so that he not only hears you, but also sees the position of your lips and facial expressions. Most often, this is how children learn to pronounce sounds by imitating a carbon copy. Be a patient (and at the same time funny, smiling!) example for your child - and he will definitely master the correct pronunciation. And be patient - it can take from several days to several months to practice each exercise for producing the sound P.

As soon as you hear that the child is able to more or less successfully pronounce the sound R in exercises, start practicing syllables like “ra-ri-ru-ro” or “ara-tra-ura-or-mur” - that is, all sorts of combinations the sound P and vowels (so that the sound P itself is at the beginning of the syllable, and in the middle, and at the end). Then move on to individual simple words, such as “fish-hand-murzik-arka-ball-cow” and others (again, the sound P should appear in different places in the words). And only when the child pronounces words confidently and correctly, proceed to continuous speech.

Many parents perceive difficulties with pronouncing the sound R as a serious problem. They involve a host of pediatricians and speech therapists in the “trouble,” and they begin to frighten the child with future difficulties in communication... If you are a conscious and loving parent, stop this “hysteria” in its infancy! Teach your child to deal with difficulties (including pronunciation) in a friendly, calm, and humorous manner. And if you manage to turn speech therapy into an exciting game, you and your child will win in any case - either he will master the sound R, or he will learn to “tolerate failures” while remaining a confident person.

For normal speech development and clear pronunciation of all sounds, it is necessary to monitor the condition of the articulatory apparatus.

It includes the following organs: larynx, vocal folds, tongue, soft and hard palate (oropharynx), teeth of the upper and lower jaw (they form the bite), lips, nasopharynx (the upper part of the pharynx, located behind the nasal cavity, communicating with it through the choanae and conditionally limited from the oral part of the pharynx by the plane in which the hard palate lies) and resonator cavities involved in the generation of speech and voice sounds.

Much of the above needs to be monitored by medicine and examined by specialists as needed.

But as for the movements of the tongue and lips, they can be slightly corrected with the help of constant exercises.

So we'll talk about them. Now we will consider the maximum number of articulation exercises that you can perform with your baby at home in front of the mirror.

And to the sunny lawn

The driver will take him there.

Over the potholes the gray bunny -

And will have time on the lawn

He weeded the garden.

A car speeds along the highway,

It growls in all directions.

There's a dashing driver behind the wheel,

“Dyn-dyn-dyn” - the engine hums.
