With normal development, children sometimes face difficulties in mastering speech. Both the entire structure of speech - vocabulary, grammar, phonetics - and individual elements can be affected. A common problem is a violation of the pronunciation of sounds.
Instructions
Step 1
In order for the child's speech to be well developed, speech hearing and pronunciation formed correctly, make sure that your speech is an example to follow. Communicate with your baby as much as possible, using every minute from birth. Follow the usual actions with a leisurely, affectionate conversation: tell me what you are going to do, name the objects around the child. The baby will learn to concentrate, listen to the voice, react to it.
Step 2
Smile at the baby more often, sing songs. Reacting to the timbre of the voice, pitch, melody, the baby develops a verbal ear. The baby's smile, his laughter and the first responding vocal imitations will be your reward. Repeat the sounds that he makes, and the baby will answer you again with a smile.
Step 3
Remember your favorite songs and poems from childhood: nursery rhymes, lullabies, counting rhymes. Use them in games and other situations: during meals, massage, bathing, when going to bed.
Step 4
From the first months of life, pay attention to the development of the baby's general motor skills and finger mobility. The centers responsible for the movements of the hands and organs of the articulatory apparatus (lips, tongue, jaws, soft palate) in the cerebral cortex are in the immediate vicinity. By improving your fine motor skills, you set the stage for your baby's articulation development.
Step 5
Play finger games: "White-sided magpie", "Ladushki", "The gray hare sits and wiggles its ears", "There is a horned goat." In addition to training fingers, the baby develops the ability to listen and understand the content of songs and nursery rhymes, to catch the rhythm. For very young children, stroke their hands, bend and unbend their fingers.
Step 6
When the child begins to pronounce the first words, expand the vocabulary due to the names of the surrounding objects. Speak with clear words. You can use the so-called lightweight speech: car - "bb", dog - "av-av", etc. But do not get stuck on such a speech for a long time, and together with the simplified one, give the full name of the subject.
Step 7
For correct pronunciation, the baby needs well-developed breathing and mobility of the articulatory apparatus. To develop breathing, blow on cotton balls: drive them into the "gate" - bubbles or boxes. Inflate balloons together, blow on paper boats, launching them in a basin. To train the articulation apparatus in a playful way, perform special exercises in front of a mirror.
Step 8
Up to four to five years of age, pronunciation deficiencies are of a physiological nature. But if they persist longer, seek professional help. It will not be superfluous to show the speech therapist a baby of two or three years old, even if there is no cause for concern. At this age, it is possible to identify such speech disorders that do not correspond to physiological norms. The earlier you start the correction, the more successful the result will be.
