Instructions
Step 1
Start with short breathing exercises. Breathing exercises teach the duration, strength and correct distribution of the exhalation. Correct breathing provides a supply of air in the lungs for pronouncing sections of speech of various lengths. The main rules - exercise in a ventilated area, and in between meals, and also dress the child in loose clothing and make sure that he does not strain his shoulders and arms during classes. Pick up a basin of water and arrange a competition - with exhaled air, chase light objects: boats, barrels from under kinder surprises, ping-pong balls. Practically the same is done in the exercise "Football": blow ping-pong balls into the designed goal. Blow out real or imaginary candles. Blow bubbles. Play Bul-Bulki: Pour into two glasses of water, one nearly full, the other less than half. Take cocktail straws and have your child blow into the water through the straw so that the water does not splash. This means that you will need to blow weakly into one glass, and you can blow strongly into the second.
Step 2
As a warm-up, alternate between several static and dynamic tongue exercises. Static are exercises in which the position of the tongue is fixed for 10 seconds. For example, "Chicks": open your mouth wide, the tongue lies calmly in the mouth. In the "Spatula" exercise, the mouth is open, a wide, relaxed tongue lies on the lower lip. Also invite the child to stretch the tongue with a sting (the tongue is narrow, tense), make a cup with the tongue (the front and side edges of the tongue are raised, but do not touch the teeth), roll the tongue with a tube (the side edges are bent up). Dynamic exercises are performed in motion: suggest making the pendulum a tongue from corner to corner of stretched lips, slowly clatter like a horse, depict a snake stretching out a tense tongue-sting and quickly removing deep into the mouth, licking the upper and lower lips with a wide tongue in a circle, as if they were smeared with jam …
Step 3
Use a set of exercises to develop the correct pronunciation of the "r" sound. It is aimed at practicing specific tongue movements - lifting the back up, mobility of the tip of the tongue, as well as the ability to form a continuous air flow in the middle of the tongue. At the same time, make sure that the lower jaw and lips are motionless. List of exercises:
• "Brush your teeth" (open your mouth wide and use the tip of your tongue to "brush" your upper teeth from the inside, making movements with your tongue from side to side).
• "Painter" (smile, open your mouth and "stroke" the palate with the tip of your tongue, making your tongue move back and forth)
• "Who will drive the ball further" (smile, put the wide front edge of the tongue on the lower lip and, as if uttering the sound "f" for a long time, blow off the cotton wool to the opposite edge of the table)
• "Turkey" (open your mouth, put your tongue on the upper lip and stroke it with the wide edge of your tongue without tearing it off. The tempo is from slow to fast, and add a voice until you hear "bl-bl", like a turkey).
• "Drummers" (smile, open your mouth and tap the tip of your tongue on the upper alveoli, while exhaling, repeatedly and distinctly pronouncing a sound reminiscent of the English sound "d", vary the tempo).
