Improving diction in children
The main difficulty for children when pronouncing complex words is the rapid change of articulatory position, when it is difficult to rebuild the speech apparatus depending on the subsequent changing sound. Before you start working with your child directly on diction, you need to conduct speech gymnastics aimed at improving articulation.
Carry out exercises to develop the muscles of the speech apparatus:
- Make the sound A with your mouth wide open. The child must imagine that he is speaking into a megaphone.
- Make the sound O, stretching your lips as far as possible.
- Exercise “Smile”, when the child stretches his mouth wide, pronouncing the sound I.
- Make the sound U, extending your lips into a tube as far forward as possible.
Breathing exercises help set up your speech apparatus before reading texts for diction. It is necessary to teach the child to distribute breathing correctly:
- on a deep breath, pronounce the syllables: “house”, “bom”, “out”, retaining the air until the end of the pronunciation, distributing it to each word;
- blow out an imaginary candle, but slowly, gradually blowing out the air;
- pronounce sentences, at the beginning of the first word, take an imperceptible deep breath, distribute it until the end: “They found a pair of boots and 12 galoshes on Tamara,” “Mom loves Masha, and Masha loves mother.”
It is necessary to move on to reading texts after an articulatory warm-up. Spend at least 15 minutes on the preparatory stage. Speech therapists, when working with preschoolers and schoolchildren, advise using poetry and humorous texts so that the learning process is not a burden. While reading, it is important to monitor correct articulation, clear pronunciation of each sound, and voice placement. Diction training for children is carried out using the following texts, following the main rule: from easy to complex.
- Read the text, clearly pronouncing the sounds: sh, zh, h, shch, ts:
“The black lapwing, not bored, chirped over a cup of tea. The hedgehog has a hedgehog, the grass snake has a snake. If you want to eat rolls, don’t sit on the stove. Well done against the sheep, and against the well done the sheep itself. Sasha walked along the highway and sucked on a dryer. Two puppies are nibbling grass in the corner, cheek to cheek. The student was studying his lessons, his cheeks were covered in ink.”
- Read the text slowly at first, watching the pronunciation of individual sounds, and then speed up the pace.
The rhyme amuses the children and makes the process of working on diction interesting. You can work additionally with this text: give the child the task of reading it sadly, cheerfully, angry, laughing, restrained, calmly, loudly, quietly. It is good to train individual sounds: ch, r, k, s, asking the child to highlight them intonationally and articulatorily when reading.
Speech therapists use texts with pictures in practice for preschoolers and schoolchildren. They not only help improve diction, but also stimulate the development of memory, attention, imagination, thinking, and logic.
When working with preschoolers, the teacher (parent) reads the text, the child looks at the picture, continues the sentence, pronounces intonationally and clearly all the necessary imitative words, exercises in the process of reading a fairy tale, and repeats after the adult. The student can independently read a fairy tale and complete assignments. An adult only monitors the clarity and correctness of speech.

Improving diction in teenagers
Teenagers also need to start working on developing diction after articulation and breathing exercises. Exercises should be aimed at developing the speech apparatus, pronouncing individual sounds, complex words, and sentences. While working, you need to simultaneously monitor your breathing: at the beginning of a sentence, take an imperceptible breath, distribute it over the remaining time until the end of the speech. On the next sentence, repeat the procedure again.
The following suggestions and exercises are suitable for warming up a teenager. These can be tongue twisters, short poems, pure tongue twisters.
Difficult texts for diction must be taken after successfully pronouncing difficult tongue twisters. When reading a text, it is important to maintain clear pronunciation, train correct articulation, gradually increasing the tempo.
When working with teenagers, it is also important to have interesting and unusual material. Due to their age, children may approach activities irresponsibly. Properly selected exercises will distract you and set you in a positive mood. A cheerful Chinese tongue twister works well in this case.
Once upon a time there lived three Chinese - Yak, Yak-Tsidrak, Yak-Tsidrak-Tsidron-Tsidroni, and three more Chinese women - Tsypa, Tsypa-Dripa, Tsypa-Dripa-Lampomponi. Yak got married to Tsypa, Yak-Tsidrak to Tsypa-Dripa, Yak-Tsidrak-Tsidron-Tsidroni to Tsypa-Dripa-Lampomponi... So they had children: Yak and Tsypa - Shah, Yak-Tsidrak and Tsypa-Drypa - Shah -Sharah, at Yak-Tsidrak-Tsidroni with Tsypo-Drypa-Lampoponi - Shah-Sharah-Sharoni.
Tips for successfully developing diction
When a person studies with a professional, it is easier to improve diction than when working independently. Speech therapists give advice on how to make home learning interesting, useful, and effective.
- Conduct classes every day. Daily work on powerful exercises allows you to improve your diction in a few weeks.
- Allow 15-30 minutes a day for speech gymnastics, depending on age.
- When teaching diction, it is customary to record speech on a voice recorder and listen to it afterwards to mark achievements.
- You need to perform exercises according to the principle from simple to complex.
- In addition to classes, it is necessary to read fiction to enrich your vocabulary.
In this way, you can achieve a significant improvement in diction. A beautiful and well-placed voice makes it possible to influence people’s opinions in communication, increase status, and makes the conversation easy and relaxed, unburdened.
