Violation of the syllabic structure of a word: correction, preparation for correction. Methodical recommendations and exercises

, teacher-speech therapist, Tosno, Leningrad region.

In order for work on the syllabic structure of a word to be most successful, I propose to start with the development of spatial, dynamic and rhythmic factors of mental activity.

Exercises to develop optical-spatial orientation:

Exercise 1. The child sits on a chair, eyes open or closed.

The adult rings the bell, holds it in front of the child, behind him, above and below the chair, to the right and left. You need to correctly say where it rings (right, left, above, below, in front, behind).

Exercise 2. The child moves in space according to the adult’s verbal instructions (Robot goes forward...... stop. To the right.... stop. Down (under the table).... stop).

Exercises to develop somato-spatial orientation:

Exercise 3. The child independently shows: left little finger, right elbow, right toe, left wrist, left ear, etc.

Exercise 4. The child performs “cross” movements, showing: with the right hand the left cheek, the left side with the right hand, the left hand the right temple, the middle finger of the right hand the left shoulder, etc.

Exercise 5. An adult silently performs the movements, the child must repeat with the same hand or foot, avoiding mirroring: right hand up, left foot to the side, right hand on the belt, etc.

Exercise 6. An adult asks the child to perform the so-called movements without showing a model. The commands are taken from exercise 5.

Exercises to develop orientation in two-dimensional space (on a sheet of paper):

Exercise 7. An adult offers the child the following tasks: “Put a dot at the top of the sheet (a stick down), draw a cross on the right, draw a wave in the lower left corner (a straight line in the lower right corner), etc.

Exercise 8. From the point placed on the sheet, without lifting his hand, the child must draw a line at the command of an adult: “We’re going to the right…..stop, up…..stop, left…..stop, up….stop, etc. ""

Exercise 9. Graphic dictation. The child is asked to draw: a cross to the right of the stick, a dot to the left of the hook, an oval under the triangle, a square in a circle, etc.

Exercise 10. The child must continue the row.

…. “ …. “ …. “ ….

ABOUT! +Oh! +Oh! +

Exercise 11. The child is required to find an extra figure among similar ones, but upside down in space.

Exercises to develop time-spatial orientation:

Exercise 12. Graphic dictation. For the graphic dictation, the following tasks are offered: ""Draw first a house, then a person, and finally a flower; on the tree, first draw a leaf, then a hollow, at the end a nest, etc. ""

Exercise 13. The adult interrupts the child’s actions and asks questions: “What did you do before? What are you doing now? What will you do next?"

Exercise 14. The exercise consists of the child arranging pictures according to the topics “Seasons”, “Parts of the day”. Finally, the adult and child discuss the sequence of pictures.

Exercise 15. An adult and a child talk on the topic “Yesterday – Today – Tomorrow”.

Exercise 16. Let's move on to working with speech material. The adult gives the child the task:

  1. Listen to the words: poppy, soup, smoke. Count. Name the second word, the first, the third.
  2. Listen to the sentences: The fire is burning. The bird is flying. It is snowing. Count. Name the third sentence, the second, the first.

Exercises to develop dynamic and rhythmic organization of movements:

Exercise 17. Holding dynamic programs. The exercise consists of the child repeatedly repeating the action on his own after visual presentation of the instructions by the speech therapist.

  1. Articulation exercises: open your mouth, bare your teeth, puff out your cheeks; tongue behind the right cheek, lips like a tube; suck in your cheeks, click your tongue, blow, etc.

2. Hand exercises: alternately touch the index, little, and middle fingers with your thumb; put your hand on the table with your fist, edge, palm; ""fist on the table"" alternately show the thumb, little finger, index finger, etc.

After practicing these exercises, you can proceed directly to overcoming violations of the syllabic structure of words.

In speech therapy work with children, overcoming shortcomings in sound pronunciation is often highlighted and the importance of developing the syllabic structure of a word is underestimated. Difficulties in pronouncing individual sounds, as well as focusing on overcoming them, lead to the fact that the sound, and not the syllable, becomes the unit of pronunciation. This is somewhat contrary to the natural process of speech development. Therefore, it is of particular importance to determine the correct relationship between the development of sound pronunciation and mastery of the syllabic structure of a word. In this case, the individual level of speech development of each child and the type of speech pathology (polymorphic dyslalia, dysarthria, alalia, childhood aphasia, rhinolalia) should be taken into account. In working on the syllabic structure of a word, I attach particular importance to “inclusion in work”, in addition to the speech analyzer also auditory, visual and tactile.

Vowel level

Accurate perception and clear articulation of vowel sounds ensure the correct transmission of the syllabic image of a word, and also prevent the substitution and rearrangement of syllables in a word. At the stage of mastering articulatory gymnastics, children should be accustomed to a number of manual poses corresponding to vowel sounds (Fig. 2-7).

Thus, the traditional exercise “Window” (sound [a]) is accompanied by showing an open palm facing the child (Fig. 2).

The “pipe” pose (reminiscent of the articulation of the sound [u]) – the fingers are brought together “in a pinch”, but not closed, and extended towards the child (Fig. 3).

The “Proboscis” pose (lips as with the sound [o]) is similar, but the fingers are spaced wider (Fig. 4).

“Fence” pose (sound [and]) – palm in fist with fingers facing the child, thumb pressed, nails visible (association with teeth) (Fig. 5).

Additionally, poses are introduced for the sounds [s] and [e].

The position for the sound [ы] is similar to [i], but the wrist is more advanced towards the child (association with the lower jaw pushed forward) (Fig. 6).

The pose for the sound [e] is a rounded palm, as if squeezing a ball (Fig. 7).

The double sounds of the letters “e”, “e”, “yu”, “ya”, are also indicated manually, with two consecutive poses.

""e"" = [j]+[e] – clenched fist with fingers towards the child, thumb to the side, nails visible [j] (Fig. 8) + sound posture [e] (Fig. 7)

""ё"" = [j] (Fig. 8) + sound posture [o] (Fig. 4);

""yu"" = [j] (Fig. 8) + sound posture [y] (Fig. 3);

""I"" = [j] (Fig. 8) + sound posture [a] (Fig. 2).

When performing poses, the forearm is positioned vertically or at a slight angle.

Such manual accompaniment during articulatory gymnastics shows the volume of the pose (“window”) and emphasizes the contrast (“fence - tube”, “tube - proboscis”).

Subsequently, when working on the syllabic structure of words, alternating vowel positions makes it easier for the child to switch from syllable to syllable and prevents omissions and replacements.

Children are offered the following exercises:

Exercise 1. The child repeats pairs, triplets and a larger number of sounds from more contrasting to less contrasting:

  • accompanied by hand symbols;
  • without them;
  • without visual support.
  • Suggested syllables:

A – I – O

U – A – I

I – O – Y

U – A – I – O

E – U – A – I, etc.

Exercise 2. Training pitch, volume, voice strength and tempo of pronunciation. The child pronounces a series of vowels:

On one exhale, smoothly (or abruptly);

Loud (quieter, very quiet);

Alternating volume within one row;

Fast (or slow).

Exercise 3. To consolidate work on vowels, the child is asked to:

  • pronounce the sound as many times as there are dots on the die;
  • pronounce the sound as many times as the speech therapist claps his hands;
  • come up with as many sounds as there are stars drawn;
  • singing a series of sounds with clear articulation, repeating sounds after a speech therapist, reading letters, writing a series of letters (auditory and visual dictation): A U I O; AU IA OA; AUI IAU; AUA UAU; AUIA IUAO;
  • the same tasks with emphasis on the impact sound: A UA; A U A, AU A;
  • guess which vowel symbol the speech therapist or another child is showing with his hand;
  • make a series of sounds and depict them with hand symbols;
  • recognizing a series of sounds by silent articulation and pronouncing them with a voice;
  • repeat the sounds in reverse order;

The speech therapist taps out a rhythm, and the child must, in accordance with this rhythm, pronounce vowel sounds as follows: A - AA, AA -A, A AA, A A A

Syllable level

It is advisable to carry out these types of work at the stage of automation and differentiation of sounds practiced by a speech therapist. Tasks can be the following:

Compiling all possible syllables from the given letters (“Who is bigger?”);

  • Stringing rings onto rods while simultaneously pronouncing a chain of syllables (one syllable for each ring);
  • Exercise with fingers ““Fingers say hello”” (for each contact of the fingers of a hand with the thumb of the same hand, pronounce one syllable);
  • Count how many syllables the speech therapist pronounced (syllables are forward, backward, with a combination of consonants);
  • Name the stressed syllable in the chain of heard syllables;
  • Building up syllables (“Say one syllable more than I did”): sa-so….;
  • Reducing the number of syllables (“Say one syllable less than me”): sa-so-su-sy;
  • Tapping syllable chains by touching the thumb and middle or thumb and index fingers of the leading hand, and identical syllables are tapped with the same finger: sa-so-so, so-sa-so;
  • Memorizing and repeating a chain of syllables: sa-so-so, so-sa-so, sa-so-so, sa-sa-so, so-so-sa;
  • Come up with a syllable for the scheme: SG, GS, SGS, SSG, GSS;
  • “Say the opposite” (ball game): sa-as, tsa – ast;
  • “Who is faster?”: the syllables are written in the table, the child must quickly find and read the syllable named by the speech therapist;
  • Recording syllables of various types under dictation;
  • Recording chains of syllables of varying lengths, emphasizing vowels or consonants, hard or soft consonants, voiced or voiceless consonants; performing sound-syllable analysis of a chain of syllables (depending on the correction task)

Word level

The procedure for practicing words with different types of syllabic structure was proposed by E.S. Bolshakova in the manual “The work of a speech therapist with preschoolers.” The author suggests the following exercises:

Exercises to distinguish between long and short words:

Exercise 1. The child has chips, and on the table in front of him is a long and short strip of paper. The speech therapist suggests listening to the word and determining whether it is long (sounds long) or short (sounds short). Having heard the word, the child places a chip under the long or short strip, respectively.

Exercise 2. In front of the child is a set of pictures with monosyllabic and polysyllabic words. It is required to divide them into two groups.

Exercises for reflected scanned repetition of words of the type being studied

Exercise 3. Training the ability to pause between syllables. After the speech therapist names the word, the child must repeat and tap it on the table conjugately (BU….SY, NOT…..BO, LYu…..DI).

Exercise 4. Sound analysis and synthesis.

  1. Counting syllables.
  2. Laying out strips and sticks according to the number of syllables.
  3. Selecting an appropriate word scheme.
  4. Analysis of each syllable (counting and listing sounds).

This type of work is especially important when studying words with consonant clusters. This group of words requires special attention. The following mastering procedure is proposed:

  1. two-syllable words with a cluster in the middle of the word: first, words starting with a vowel sound are given (game, glasses), then words starting with a consonant (heel, nails), after that - words with two clusters of consonants (swallow, leaves);
  2. confluence at the end of a word (bone, bridge);
  3. confluence at the beginning of a word (elephant, table);
  4. monosyllabic words with two sequences (pillar, tail);
  5. polysyllabic words with conjunctions (library).

Exercise 5. Isolated pronunciation of the words "We're walking up the stairs." The child must, repeating the word syllable after the speech therapist, climb with his fingers up the steps of the toy ladder. There is a stop at each step.

Exercise 6. Variant of the game "" "We walk along the ladder." Pronouncing a series of two or three monosyllable words from a closed syllable: SOUP - SMOKE, GOOSE - CAT, SHOWER - ELK - MOUSE.

Exercise 7. Repeating series of words that are similar in sound composition:

  • differing in vowel sounds: SUK – SOK
  • differing in consonant sounds: SUK – SUP
  • differing in consonant sound and place of stress: WATER - SODA.

Repetition exercises highlighting stressed syllables.

Exercise 8. Two pictures are laid out. Their name contains the same number of syllables, but differ in the position of the stressed syllable (Melon - water). The speech therapist silently slaps words with accents on stressed syllables. The child guesses the planned words.

Exercise 9. Naming words that are similar in sound composition, but differ in the place of the stressed syllable (Zamok - zamok).

Exercises with rearranging syllables.

Exercise 10. The speech therapist pronounces a word consisting of two syllables. You need to swap them and name the resulting word (ZHI-LY - SKI, KI-RA - CRASH).

Exercise 11. The speech therapist pronounces three syllables. Children must make a word out of them (KU-KI-BI - CUBES, SA-GI-PO - BOOTS).

An exercise to assess normativity.

Exercise 12. The speech therapist reads the words, the children raise a green flag if the word sounds correct, and a red flag if it sounds incorrect. The exercise is carried out based on pictures (PAVUK, VUTKA, KOKHE).

Exercises for the transition to continuous pronunciation.

Exercise 13. The speech therapist names the word in syllables, and the children guess the word (KA....PUS.....TA - CABBAGE).

Exercise 14. The speech therapist pronounces the first syllable of a word. Children guess what word was said (VED- - BUCKET, KUH- - KITCHEN).

Exercise 15. The speech therapist says the ending of the word, clapping it syllable by syllable. The child adds the first syllable and names the whole word (-ROAR..... - DE! TREE).

Exercise 16 . The speech therapist calls the word by clapping instead of the second syllable (or any middle syllable). The child adds a syllable and names the whole word (KO - ! – BOK – LO! KOLOBOK) .

Exercise 17. The speech therapist thinks of a word and places as many chips on the typesetting canvas as there are syllables in it. Then the speech therapist names the first syllable: KA. Children guess the intended word based on the number of chips (KA - BINET, KA - LINA, KA - RETA).

Exercise 18. Syllable analysis and synthesis.

  1. From the proposed pictures, name those that have a given syllable (for example, MA): raspberries, tomatoes, popsicle, macaque, ant, lipstick.
  2. Put the pictures in such an order that the last syllable of the previous word and the first syllable of the following word are the same (OWL, VATA).
  3. The speech therapist names the word, inserting the word ““then”” between the syllables (““further””, ““then””). The child makes up a word (PA, then UK - SPIDER).

After practicing words of different syllabic structures at the word level, it is necessary to practice them on material from pure proverbs, complete sentences, poems and other texts.

As a rule, children with severe speech pathology do not remember poetry, especially those consisting of 4 or more lines. Therefore, you should start learning couplets with them. Memorization should be carried out based on subject pictures. When memorizing poems, you need to make sure that children understand their content. To do this, the speech therapist asks a question based on the picture. It is also recommended to conduct outdoor games accompanied by speech:

Game “Train”

The green cars are running, running, running

And the round wheels go on and on and on.

(Children stand one after another and imitate the movement of a train).

Game “Geese”

Geese - geese!

Are you thirsty?

Geese - geese, here's the water!

Ha-ha-ha! Ga-ha-ha!

So run here everyone!

(Children run to the driver)

Game “Fox and Geese”

Geese, geese, I'll eat you!

Wait, fox, don't eat!

Listen to our song:

Ha-ha-ha! Ga-ha-ha!

I'm tired of listening to you!

I'll eat them all now!

(“Geese” scatter, “fox” catches).

All of the above exercises are aimed at bringing the level of children’s pronunciation of words as close as possible to the norm.

The described exercises are carried out during speech therapy sessions for 5–7 minutes.

Sections: Speech therapy

The formation of grammatically correct, lexically rich and phonetically clear speech in children, which enables verbal communication and prepares them for learning at school, is one of the important tasks in the overall system of teaching a child their native language in kindergarten and in the family.

To raise a full-fledged personality, you need to eliminate everything that interferes with the child’s free communication with the team. It is important that children master their native speech as early as possible and speak correctly, clearly, and expressively. The correct pronunciation of sounds and words becomes especially necessary for a child when he begins to master literacy. The practice of speech therapy shows that correction of sound pronunciation is often brought to the fore in preschool age and the importance of forming the syllabic structure of words is underestimated, and this is one of the reasons for the occurrence of dysgraphia and dyslexia in schoolchildren.

Among the various speech disorders in preschool children, one of the most difficult to correct is such a special manifestation of speech pathology as a violation of the syllabic structure of words. This defect in speech development is characterized by difficulties in pronouncing words of complex syllabic composition (violation of the order of syllables in a word, omissions or addition of new syllables or sounds). Violation of the syllabic structure of a word is usually detected during a speech therapy examination of children with general speech underdevelopment. As a rule, the range of these violations varies: from minor difficulties in pronouncing words of a complex syllabic structure in conditions of spontaneous speech to severe violations when a child repeats two- and three-syllable words without a combination of consonants, even with the aid of clarity. Deviations in the reproduction of the syllabic composition of a word can manifest themselves as follows:

1. Violation of the number of syllables:
– syllable reduction;
– omission of the syllabic vowel;
– increasing the number of syllables due to the insertion of vowels.
2. Violation of the sequence of syllables in a word:
– rearrangement of syllables;
- rearrangement of sounds of adjacent syllables.
3. Distortion of the structure of an individual syllable:
– reduction of consonant clusters;
- insertion of consonants into a syllable.
4. Similarization of syllables.
5. Perseverations (cyclic repetition).
6. Anticipations (replacing previous sounds with subsequent ones).
7. Contamination (mixing elements of a word).

Violation of the syllabic structure of words can persist in children with pathology of speech development for quite a long time, revealing itself whenever the child encounters a new sound-syllable and morphological structure of a word.

The choice of methods and techniques of correctional work to eliminate this disorder is always preceded by an examination of the child, during which the degree and level of violation of the syllabic structure of words is revealed. This will allow you to set the boundaries of the level accessible to the child, from which corrective exercises should begin.

This type of work is based on the principle of a systematic approach to the correction of speech disorders and the classification by A.K. Markova, which identifies 14 types of syllable structure of a word in increasing degrees of complexity:

1. Two-syllable words made from open syllables (willow, children).
2. Three-syllable words made from open syllables (hunting, raspberry).
3. Monosyllabic words (house, juice).
4. Two-syllable words with a closed syllable (sofa, furniture).
5. Two-syllable words with a cluster of consonants in the middle of the word (jar, branch).
6. Two-syllable words made from closed syllables (tulip, compote).
7. Three-syllable words with a closed syllable (hippopotamus, telephone).
8. Three-syllable words with consonant clusters (room, shoes).
9. Three-syllable words with a consonant cluster and a closed syllable (lamb, ladle).
10. Three-syllable words with two consonant clusters (tablet, matryoshka).
11. Monosyllabic words with a cluster of consonants at the beginning of the word (table, closet).
12. Monosyllabic words with a consonant cluster at the end of the word (elevator, umbrella).
13. Two-syllable words with two consonant clusters (whip, button).
14. Four-syllable words made from open syllables (turtle, piano).

Corrective work to overcome violations of the syllabic structure of words consists of the development of speech-auditory perception and speech-motor skills. I built my work in two stages:

– preparatory; the goal of this stage is to prepare the child to master the rhythmic structure of words in his native language;
– correctional; The goal of this stage is the direct correction of defects in the syllabic structure of words in a particular child.

At the preparatory stage I conducted the exercises first on a non-verbal level, and then on a verbal one.

Didactic games for the development of the syllabic structure of words.

Speech therapist teacher: Ananyina G.N.

To make it easier for a child to learn the structure of a word, a speech therapist needs to involve as much physical activity as possible, since with movement the child will better consolidate speech material. Words of different syllabic structures can be clapping, tapping, jumping, stepping away, and so on.

At the preparatory stage Exercises are carried out first on a non-verbal level, and then on a verbal one.

Option 2. The child names the words in the pictures and puts them into two groups: the long strip and the short one.

At the correctional stage the work was carried out at the verbal level with the obligatory “switching on” of the auditory, visual and tactile analyzers.

Exercises at the sound level:

1. “Say the sound A as many times as there are dots on the cube. Make the sound O as many times as I clap my hands.”

2. “Find out what sound (series of sounds) I made.” Recognition by silent articulation, pronunciation with voice.

3. Determination of a stressed vowel in a stressed position (in a series of sounds).

“Walk the word.”

On the floor are “maple sheets” (“pebbles”, “clouds”, “flowers”, etc.), cut out of colored paper. Children are divided into two teams. When pronouncing words, a step is taken for each syllable. If the word is divided into syllables incorrectly, the child returns to the starting position. The second player starts moving from the sheet where the first player stopped, etc. The team that reaches the finish line first wins. The total number of syllables in the words of both teams must be equal.

It is necessary, pronouncing the word syllable by syllable, to climb the steps of a toy ladder with your fingers. The words can be suggested orally or depicted in a picture.

"Shop".

The players are given “money” - cards with dots drawn (one, two, three, four). The speech therapist has pictures of goods laid out on his table. Children take turns “buying” a product so that its name has as many syllables as there are dots on the card. The game continues until players have spent all the "money".

Products: butter, cheese, tomatoes, milk...

School supplies: notebook, ruler, glue, textbooks...

Toys: bear, cubes, ball, Pinocchio...

"Ball game"

You need to hit the ball on the floor (or throw the ball low) as many times as there are syllables in the word. Strikes (or tosses) are accompanied by clear pronunciation of syllables.

"Postman".

Each child has a “telegram” on which a certain syllable is printed and the dots indicate the number of vowels and, accordingly, syllables in the word. There are pictures on the desks. Each child must find a picture not only with the required syllable, but also with the required number of syllables. For example, for the “telegram” the following pictures were selected: moon, bananas, tulip, pencil case.

Pyramid game

Place a pyramid in front of the child, discuss it, then take it apart, and start putting on the rings, pronouncing words of different syllabic structures. It is necessary to pronounce a syllable for each ring.

Button game

Invite your child to play with buttons, sort through them, select buttons of different colors and sizes. After sorting through the buttons, together with your child, lay them out in a row, pronouncing the words, one syllable for each button. The child should see the composition of the word, after you collect the word, repeat it again, and put the buttons collected in a row separately from the others, then discuss how you collected a lot of words, how well done you are!

Ball game

Let your child play with various small balls, leave them or roll them around.

After this, invite the child to throw balls into the basin, pronouncing the words syllable by syllable. Practice this exercise with your child, gradually increasing the distance to the pelvis into which you need to throw the balls and the syllable structure of the spoken words.

Game with matryoshka

Play matryoshka with your child, disassemble and reassemble it. Then disassemble and assemble each small nesting doll separately and arrange the toys in a row, pronouncing the words syllable by syllable - for each toy one syllable.

Game with geometric shapes

Invite your child to study the shapes: circle, square, triangle. Separate all the figures into separate piles. Then, together with your child, lay out the figures in a row (for example, only circles) and pronounce the words syllable by syllable, for each circle a syllable. So play with all the figures. Then discuss with your child the number of words spoken and their length (words with one syllable are short, words with many syllables are long)

Game with dice

Take the cubes, build a tower or fence out of them, then invite the child to talk and pronounce the words syllable by syllable, arranging the cubes in a row in a “fence”, one syllable for each cube.

Game with children's stamps

An adult invites the child to make a beautiful picture and gives him a stamp. In a joint activity, adults and children print pictures in a row, pronouncing words syllable by syllable. For each printed picture - one syllable. Words printed syllable by syllable should be located separately from each other on a sheet of paper.

A system of game exercises aimed at development

syllabic structure of the word

Speech therapy work to eliminate violations of the syllabic structure of words in preschoolers involves influencing all components of the speech system.

A comprehensive system of speech therapy includes:

  • development of general, fine and articulatory motor skills;
  • development of speech breathing and voice;
  • correction of sound pronunciation (staging, automation, differentiation of sounds);
  • development of phonemic hearing, formation of phonemic perception skills;
  • work on the syllable structure of a word;
  • expansion and enrichment of the vocabulary (active and passive);
  • development of grammatical structure of speech;
  • formation of intonation-expressive aspects of speech;
  • formation of coherent speech;
  • education of self-control over speech;
  • formation of practical skills and abilities to use correct speech.

The development of the syllabic structure of words in preschool children with dysarthria was carried out through a system of game exercises. Their goal is to promote the formation of the child’s cognitive activity. Corrective work was carried out in individual and subgroup speech therapy sessions.

Corrective work to overcome violations of the syllabic structure of words consists of the development of speech-auditory perception and speech-motor skills. Two stages can be distinguished:

  • preparatory; the goal of this stage is to prepare the child to master the rhythmic structure of words in his native language;
  • actual correctional work; The goal is to correct defects in the syllabic structure of words in a child.

Preparatory stage.

At this stage, game exercises are offered, first on non-verbal material, and then on verbal material.

Working on non-verbal material.

  1. Game exercises for the development of concentration of auditory attention, auditory gnosis and auditory memory based on the material of non-speech sounds (Where did you call? Recognize a musical instrument by its sound. How many times did you hit the drum?)
  2. Work on the rhythm (first on a simple one, and then on a complex one). Children are offered various ways to reproduce the rhythm: clapping their hands, tapping a ball on the floor, using musical instruments - a drum, a tambourine, a metallophone.

Types of tasks:

Clap your hands as many times as there are dots on the die;

Comparison of rhythms: !-!!, !!-!!-;

Recognition of rhythms and correlating them with a certain rhythmic pattern written in symbols;

Reproduction of a certain rhythm according to the model of a speech therapist, according to a given pattern;

Arbitrary reproduction of rhythm by a child followed by recording of the rhythmic pattern with symbols;

Playing long sounds (pipe, harmonica - “-” symbol and short “+” - drum, tambourine). The rhythmic pattern can be as follows: --++, ++-+--, etc.

  1. Formation of general coordination of movements to rhythmic music:

marching, easy running.

  1. Exercises for the development of dynamic hand praxis: performing movements (with the left, right hand, two hands) according to a model, according to verbal instructions or by counting: fist-rib, fist-rib-palm.
  2. Exercises to develop hand coordination: performing movements with both hands simultaneously (fist of the left hand – edge of the right hand, etc.)
  3. Graphic exercises for switching (continue the line): 0-0-0…;+=+=…

Work on verbal material.

Game exercises aimed at developing spatiotemporal concepts such as beginning, middle, end; before, behind, after; first, last. These concepts are important when a child masters the sequence of sound-syllable series, the sound content of words of a simple and complex syllabic structure.

Exercises to develop optical-spatial orientation.

Exercise 1.

Exercises 4

An adult asks you to perform the so-called movements without showing a model.

Exercises to develop orientation in two-dimensional space.

Exercise 1.

Place a dot at the top of the sheet, a stick at the bottom, draw a cross on the right, a bird on the left, draw a wave in the lower left corner, etc.

Exercise 2.

From the point placed on the sheet, the child, without lifting his hand, must draw a line according to the adult’s commands.

We go right, stop, up, stop, right, etc.

Exercise 3

Exercise 1. There are long and short strips of paper on the table. The speech therapist pronounces long and short words. Having heard the word, the child places a chip under the long or short strip, respectively.

Words: bitch, bicycle, soup, beetle, fly agarics, etc.

Exercise 2.

In front of the child are pictures with monosyllabic, polysyllabic words. We need to divide them into two groups.

Exercise 3.

Two are selected from a group of children. One child looks for objects in the room with short names, the other with long ones. Having found the object, player 2 names it.

Exercises to explain the meanings of unfamiliar words.

Since knowledge of the lexical meaning is necessary for mastering correct pronunciation, the meaning of the word should be clarified (for example, by including it in sentences).

Exercises for reflected scanned repetition of words of the type being studied.

Exercise 1. Training the ability to pause between words. The speech therapist calls the word. The child must repeat and tap it on the table. At the same time, if an adult raises his hand, you need to pause until the hand comes down.

Example: bu…..sy, not…..bo, lyu…..di, ko…..le-but (ko-le…..but), o-le…..ni (o…..le -ni), si…..ni-tsa (si-ni…..tsa).

Exercise 5.

Sound analysis and synthesis.

  1. Counting syllables, naming one, two, etc. syllables in a row, or in discord at the request of the speech therapist.
  1. Laying out strips according to the number of syllables.
  2. Selecting an appropriate word scheme.
  3. Analysis of each syllable (counting and listing sounds). This type of work is important when learning words with consonant clusters. Offered:

1-two-syllable words with confluences in the middle of words starting with a vowel sound: needle, sheep, glasses, etc.

Then - words starting with a consonant sound: heel, nails, bag, etc.

Words with two consonant clusters: swallow, sun, leaves, etc.

Thus, the types of exercises were selected depending on the level of speech and intellectual development of the children, their age and type of speech pathology. The work on correcting the syllabic structure of words was carried out for a long time, systematically, according to the principle from simple to complex, taking into account the leading type of activity of children and using clarity. Thanks to this, significant results were achieved in the formation of the syllabic structure of words in children.


Games and exercises for forming the syllabic structure of a word.

Exercises at the sound level:

  1. “Say the sound [A] as many times as there are dots on the die. Say the sound [O] as many times as I clap my hands.”
  2. “Find out what sound (series of sounds) I made.” Recognition by silent articulation, pronunciation with voice.
  3. Determination of a stressed vowel in a stressed position (in a series of sounds).

Exercises at the syllable level:

Pronounce a chain of syllables while simultaneously building a tower of cubes (arranging beads, buttons).
- “Fingers say hello” - pronouncing a chain of syllables by touching the fingers of the hand with the thumb on each syllable.
- Count the number of syllables (pronounced).
- Name the stressed syllable in the chain of heard syllables.
- Memorization and repetition of a chain of syllables of different types.
