Agranovich Z.E. Speech therapy work to overcome violations of the syllabic structure of words in children.

Preface

A system of speech therapy measures has been proposed to eliminate such a difficult-to-correct, specific type of speech pathology in children of preschool and primary school age as a violation of the syllabic structure of words, a defect leading to the occurrence of dysgraphia and dyslexia.

The manual is addressed to practical speech therapists, primary school teachers, methodologists and teachers of specialized compensatory preschool educational institutions, as well as parents.

Formation of phonetically correct speech is an important task of speech therapy work with children of preschool and primary school age

Speech function is one of the most important human functions. In the process of speech development, he develops higher mental forms of cognitive activity and the ability for conceptual thinking. Mastery of speech contributes to awareness, planning and regulation of behavior. Speech communication creates the necessary conditions for the development of various forms of activity and participation in collective work.

It is known that the main functions of speech are communicative, generalizing and regulating. The communicative and generalizing functions of speech are formed in close unity: with the help of speech, a person not only receives new information, but also assimilates it. At the same time, speech is also a means of regulating higher mental functions of a person. Normally, the regulatory function of speech is formed by the end of preschool age and is of great importance for the child’s transition to school education. The formation of the regulatory function of speech leads to the emergence in the child of the ability to subordinate his actions to the speech instructions of an adult. Modern research in the field of child psychology has revealed that underdevelopment of the regulatory function of speech is a general indicator of abnormal mental development. This should be taken into account when carrying out correctional speech therapy work.

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 a preschool educational institution and in the family. A child with well-developed speech easily enters into communication with others, he can clearly express his thoughts, desires, ask questions, and agree with peers about playing together. Conversely, a child’s slurred speech complicates his relationships with people and often leaves an imprint on his character. By the age of 6-7 years, and sometimes earlier, children with speech pathology begin to realize the defects of their speech, experience them painfully, become silent, shy, and irritable.

Article:

Every year the number of children suffering from TSD increases.
Most of them have, to one degree or another, a violation of the syllabic structure of the word (SWS). In speech therapy work with children, overcoming shortcomings in sound pronunciation is often highlighted and the importance of the development of the cardiovascular system 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. Correction of the cardiovascular system is one of the priority tasks in speech therapy work with preschoolers with systemic speech disorders. The formation of the CVS affects the success of mastering the grammatical structure of speech, mastering sound analysis, writing, and reading. Since this topic has not been sufficiently studied and covered in educational and methodological literature, speech therapists experience difficulties in organizing work on the formation of the syllabic structure of a word: in systematizing and selecting speech didactic material, providing classes with lexical richness.

This manual presents a system of working on the syllabic structure of a word, based on an analysis of the literature on this problem and on personal teaching experience.

Types of violations of the syllabic structure of words

A.K. Markova identifies the following types of violations of the syllabic structure of a word:

1. Violation of the number of syllables:

Abbreviation (omission) of a syllable: “skein” - hammer;
Omission of the syllabic vowel: “pinino” - piano;
Increasing the number of syllables by inserting vowels into consonant clusters: “komanata” - room;

2. Violation of the sequence of syllables in a word:

Rearrangement of syllables: “devore” - tree;
Rearrangement of sounds of adjacent syllables: “hebemot” - hippopotamus;

3. Distortion of the structure of an individual syllable:

Abbreviation of consonant clusters: “tul” - chair;
Insertion of consonants into a syllable: “limont” - lemon;

4. Similarity of syllables : “coconuts” - apricots;

5. Perseverations (cyclical repetition of one syllable).

6. Anticipations (replacing previous sounds with subsequent ones): “nananas” - pineapples;

7. Contaminations (mixing elements of words): “booth” - kennel + booth.

Stages of working on the syllabic structure of a word

For the formation of the syllabic structure of a word, such non-speech processes as optical-spatial orientation, the possibility of tempo-rhythmic organization of movements and actions, and the ability to serially process information are significant. These non-speech processes are the basic prerequisites for the acquisition of the syllabic structure of a word.

Corrective work to overcome CVS disorders can be divided into 2 stages:

preparatory, the purpose of which is to prepare the child to master the rhythmic structure of words in his native language; work is carried out on non-verbal and verbal material;
proper correctional, the purpose of which is the direct correction of cardiovascular system defects in a particular child; work is carried out on verbal material.

Preparatory stage

The preparatory stage includes work in the following areas:

formation of spatial concepts and optical-spatial orientation;
development of temporal-spatial orientation;
development of dynamic and tempo-rhythmic organization of movements.

Below are sample games and exercises to develop these functions. At the preparatory stage, these games and exercises can be used simultaneously, that is, all areas of work can be included in one lesson. Exercises are used not only in speech therapy classes, but also in classes on the development of elementary mathematical concepts, in music classes, in drawing, physical education, and in classes to familiarize themselves with the outside world.

I. Formation of spatial representations and optical-spatial orientation

1. Orientation in your own body

“This is what we are like” (“Show your belly, your back”: The belly is in front, the back is behind. Where is the tummy? Where is the back?).
“Getting things in order” (in front of the child there are mittens, gloves, sandals, etc. - “Find a pair”, “Place the sandals correctly”).
“Palms and footprints” (The child is offered the outlines of several palms and footprints and the outline of a palm for which he must find a pair from the proposed options).

2. Orientation in three-dimensional space

“Train” (Toys are placed in a column in front of the child and questions are asked: “Who is in front? Who is behind? Who is far away? Who is close?”)
“Assemble a fairy tale” (In front of the child is a set of toys or objects: “Place the horse close to the house. Place the little man between the house and the tree.”)
“Find the treasure” (orientation using diagrams).
“Where the locomotive is humming” (determining the location of the sound).

II. Development of temporal-spatial orientation

“The bunny went to visit” (The child in the role of a bunny goes, according to instructions, to visit a squirrel, a hedgehog, a frog. Who had it first, then, at the very end?)
“What first, what then” (The adult gives the child tasks: 1) first jump, then squat, at the end clap your hands; 2) first rock the bear, then feed the bunny, at the end dress up the doll - the child performs and then describes the sequence of his actions).
“Look and repeat” (The adult shows a series of movements, the child watches, then repeats all the movements in the desired sequence)

III. Development of dynamic and tempo-rhythmic organization of movements

Areas of work:

Improving gross motor movements
Improving fine motor skills
Development of articulatory motor skills
Developing a sense of tempo
Formation of a sense of rhythm

Improving motor skills: general, fine, articulatory

Goal: development of spatial organization of movements; development of switchability of movements; development of the ability to reproduce a given sequence of movements.

"Do as I do"

The speech therapist performs a series of first two, then three or four movements, the children follow the instructions: “Do as I do”, “Continue yourself”: 1) Sit down - stand up, sit down - stand up, ... 2) Hands to the sides - on the belt, in sides - on the belt, ...3) Leg forward - back - to the side, forward - back - to the side.

"Skillful Hands"

Alternation of different poses: 1) Fists - palms, ... 2) Rings - ears - horns, ... 3) Fingers say hello.

Articulation exercises

Alternation of different poses of the organs of the articulatory apparatus: 1) “Frog” - “Proboscis” - “Donut”; 2) “Watch”; 3) “Spatula” - “Needle”.

Developing a sense of tempo

Goal: to teach to distinguish, reproduce, characterize tempo based on tactile-kinesthetic, visual, and auditory sensations.

"Mouse and Cat"

An adult shows the children how easily and quickly a mouse runs on its toes, and a cat slowly sneaks behind it. The movements are performed in a circle to the sound of a tambourine. For frequent blows - quickly, like a mouse, for rare blows - slowly, calmly, like a cat.

"Fists - palms"

An adult reads a poem, and children perform hand movements at the right pace:

Anyone has two fists, one knocks lightly on the other: Knock - knock, knock - knock. Well, the palms don’t lag behind, they beat them cheerfully: Clap - clap, clap - clap. The fists beat faster, how hard they try: Knock - knock - knock, knock - knock - knock, And the palms are just there, scattering: Clap - clap - clap, clap - clap - clap.

Formation of a sense of rhythm

Goals: to teach to perceive metric relationships (accented unaccented beats are a prerequisite for mastering stress), to distinguish and reproduce rhythm based on tactile-kinesthetic, visual, and auditory sensations.

“Thunder” (clap your hands loudly, or quietly, leaning on the drawing - a large cloud - a loud clap, a small cloud - a quiet one).
Graphic switching exercises: “Beads” (alternating beads of different colors - for example, red - yellow - red - yellow, etc.), “Path” (alternating two or three geometric shapes, various objects).
Reproduction of rhythms based on clarity, on patterns: “Snowflakes”, “Rain”, “Woodpecker” (“Rain” - a large drop - a long clap, a small drop - a short one).
Reproduction of a given ri

The adult has wooden spoons in his hands, the children stand in a circle. An adult walks around the circle and sings: Gray Little Bunny has come to visit. The little gray bunny found a spoon. I found the spoons and went up to the house. He stops behind the child and knocks on the spoons: knock - knock - knock. The child asks: “Who’s there?” The adult replies: “It’s me, Bunny, and who are you?” The child answers: “….” The adult continues: “Come on... come out and knock on the spoons with me!” The adult plays the child on the spoons with any of the proposed rhythms: / //; // /; // //; / // / etc.

Corrective stage

Corrective work is carried out on verbal material and consists of several levels. The transition to the next level occurs after mastering the material of the previous level.

The following levels are distinguished:

level of vowel sounds;
syllable level;
word level;
level of short sentences;
level of pure proverbs, poems and other texts.

Particular importance at each level is given to “inclusion in work” in addition to the speech analyzer, also the auditory, visual and tactile ones. Below are suggested exercises for each level.

Working on vowels

Pronouncing a series of two, three or more sounds:
accompanied by symbols (“Men - sounds”)
without visual support.
Pronunciation of a number of vowels with emphasis on one of them (also - with support for clarity and without it - by ear).
Recognition and pronunciation of a series of vowels from the silent articulation of an adult.
"Musical Ball"

An adult, throwing a ball to a child, makes one or two (at the next stage more) sounds. The child repeats and returns the ball.

Pronouncing a series of vowels, changing the volume, tempo, “mood” (sad, angry, affectionate) of the voice.
Pronounce as many vowels as there are flowers in the meadow.
Stand up when a series of two (or other specified number) sounds sounds.

Working on syllables

Work is carried out with different types of syllables:

with a common consonant (for example, the exercise “Rolling a snow woman” - imitating the movements, pronounce: ba - bo - bu - would);
with a common vowel (ka - ta - ma - va);
reverse syllables (Say “Aw - aw” as many times as there are dots);
closed syllables, their rows and pairs (various onomatopoeias);
direct and reverse syllables with oppositional sounds: according to hardness - softness, sonority - deafness (“We hammer in nails with a hammer: ta - yes - ta - yes, then - to - to - to");
syllables with confluence.

Techniques and exercises:

“Musical ball” (see “Working on vowels”)
The combination of pronouncing syllabic rows with any rhythmic movement: with drawing or tracing broken lines; with laying out sticks and circles; with drawing patterns with a finger in cereals poured into a small box.
Working with rhythmic patterns (Exercise “Chicken”: the child is offered a rhythmic pattern // / // / /// / /, he needs to voice it: ko-ko ko ko-ko ko ko-ko-ko ko ko).

Working on the word

A.K. Markova identifies the following types of syllabic structure of a word:

Two-syllables from open syllables (willow, children).
Three-syllables made of open syllables (hunting, raspberries).
Monosyllabic (house, poppy).
Two-syllables with a closed syllable (sofa, furniture).
Two-syllables with a cluster of consonants in the middle of the word (bank, branch).
Two-syllable words made from closed syllables (compote, tulip).
Three-syllable words with a closed syllable (hippopotamus, telephone)
Three syllables with a consonant cluster (room, shoes).
Three-syllables with a consonant cluster and a closed syllable (ladle).
Three-syllable words with two clusters of consonants (matryoshka).
Monosyllabic words with a consonant cluster at the beginning of a word (table).
Monosyllabic words with a confluence at the end of a word (umbrella).
Two-syllables with two consonant clusters (button).
Four-syllable words made from open syllables (turtle, piano).

Work on words is carried out sequentially - the transition to words of a more complex syllabic structure is carried out as words of the previous type are mastered.

Games and exercises used in the process of practicing words with different types of syllable structure

Syllable tracks (there are traces on the tracks - depending on the number of syllables in the word - the child says the word, stepping on each syllable to the next trace).
Syllable lines.
Syllabic houses (1. The number of syllables corresponds to the number of floors in the house - 3 houses with different numbers of floors - the child pronounces the word, counts the syllables and puts the picture in the desired house. 2. The number of syllables in the distributed words depends on the inhabitants of the houses: cancer - 1 syllable, rooster - 2, frog - 3 syllables).
“House - castle - hut” (distribution of words depending on the number of syllables in these buildings: to the house - words of one syllable, to the castle - two-syllable words, to the hut - words consisting of 3 syllables).
“Clock” (find and show with an arrow words of two (1, 3, 4) syllables)
“Think of a word” (match a word to the diagram - with or without reference to pictures, for example, SA _; SA _ _)
“Steam locomotive” (a steam locomotive consists of several carriages, the carriages differ in the number of windows, depending on this the words are distributed - in a carriage with one window there are monosyllable words, with two - two-syllable words, etc.).
“TV” (Visual aid “TV”. There are 1-4 vowel letters on the screen. The child is offered pictures. You need to choose a picture that matches the pattern on the screen. For example, on the screen are the letters U A. And pictures to choose from: house, pear, rose) .

Working on phrases, sentences, texts

“Additions” (Pictures in front of the children. The adult starts, the child finishes, and then repeats the phrase. For example, prickly... (hedgehog); airy... (balloon); cunning... (fox)).
“Snowball” (The words are accompanied by movements of the hands from top to bottom, how many words, so many movements, as if “walking along the steps.” The number of words gradually increases. Each time we begin to “step” from top to bottom again. For example: Bird. A bird is flying. A beautiful bird is flying bird. A beautiful little bird is flying.).
Work on pure sayings, nursery rhymes, jokes, poems.

Correction of violations of the syllabic structure of words

Lyudmila Sekach

Correction of violations of the syllabic structure of words

Among the various disorders in children, one of the most difficult to correct is a violation of the sound-syllable structure of words .

The most typical types of errors when reproducing words of different sound-syllable composition are the following.

Violation of the number of syllables:

- reduction (omission)
of a syllable (skein-hammer)
;

- deletion of the syllabic vowel (pinino - piano)

;

- increasing the number of syllables by inserting vowels into consonant clusters (room-room)

Violation of the sequence of syllables in a word:

- syllable (devore tree)

;

- rearrangement of sounds of adjacent syllables (hebemoth-hippopotamus)

Distortion of the structure of an individual syllable :

- reduction of consonant clusters (tul-stool)

;

- insertion of consonants into a syllable (lemont-lemon)

Similarity of syllables (coconuts-apricots)

Perseveration (bil. bili. bilitarian-librarian)

Antipations: sound ( syllable )

replaces the repressed sound
(
syllable ) in
the word (devero-tree)
.

Contamination: mixing elements of words (in the refrigerator - in the bread box and refrigerator)

Combinations of different types of distortions within the same word . For example, not saying a word and shortening a consonant in a consonant cluster (sada-soldier)

Changing the structure of a word beyond recognition (umavo - airplane)

The predominance of errors, expressed in the rearrangement or addition of syllables , indicates a primary underdevelopment of the child’s auditory perception. Errors such as reducing the number of syllables , assimilating syllables to each other , reducing consonant clusters indicate a predominant violation of the articulatory sphere.

Speech therapy work to correct violations of the sound-syllable structure of words is part of the general correctional work in overcoming speech disorders and is planned strictly individually for each child, depending on the type of speech pathology, level of speech development, age and his individual capabilities. Various approaches to correcting the sound-syllable structure of words in children with speech disorders are considered in the works of A. K. Markova, Z. E. Agranovich, S. E. Bolshakova, N. S. Chetvertushkina, T. A. Tkachenko, N. Kurdvanovskaya. V., Babinoy G.V., Krupenchuk O.I., etc. Most authors pay attention to the need to form in children psychological mechanisms that mediate the formation of the sound-syllable structure of words in ontogenesis ( successive (sequential)

abilities, development of a sense of rhythm and motor sphere, clarification of spatio-temporal concepts, development of inter-analyzer interaction, etc., sensory and motor parts of the speech process.

Speech therapy work to eliminate violations of the syllabic structure of a word cannot be limited to the purely corrective task of correcting only this deficiency. It should be developmental and include work on phonemic awareness, vocabulary , grammatical forms, and the development of intellectual functions (thinking, memory, attention)

Chetverushkina N. is the basis for the selection of practical material for . S. is based on many years of experience in practical work with preschoolers, the principle of a systematic approach in the correction of speech disorders and the classification of A. K. Markova, who identifies 14 types of word syllabic structure according to increasing degrees of complexity. Words become more complex both in increasing the number of syllables ( words are one-syllable , two-syllable, three-syllable and four-syllable, and in relation to the complexity of the syllable (open and closed, forward and backward, syllable with and without consonants):

1. Two-syllable words made from open syllables .

2. Three-syllable words made from open syllables .

3. Monosyllabic words .

4. Two-syllable words with a closed syllable .

5. Two-syllable words with a flow of consonants in the middle of the word .

6. Two-syllable words made from closed syllables .

7. Three-syllable words with a closed syllable .

8. Three-syllable words with a combination of consonants.

9. Three-syllable words with a combination of consonants and a closed syllable .

10. Three-syllable words with two consonant clusters.

11. Monosyllabic words with a combination of consonants at the beginning or middle of the word .

12. Two-syllable words with two consonant clusters.

13. Three-syllable words with a combination of consonants at the beginning and middle of the word .

14. Polysyllabic words made from open syllables .

The entire system of work on correcting violations of the syllabic structure of a word is designed for 2 academic years (senior and preparatory group)

The choice of methods and techniques of correctional work to eliminate violations of the sound-syllable structure of words in preschoolers is always preceded by an examination of a speech-language pathologist.

Correcting violations of the sound-syllable structure of words is quite complex and time-consuming. Studies have shown that it takes from 70 to 90 repetitions of a new word to an adult child for it to lead to the correct use of the word by the child himself .

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

• preparatory (work is carried out on non-verbal and verbal material; the goal of this stage is to prepare the child to master the rhythmic structure of words in his native language );

• actual correctional (work is carried out on verbal material; the goal of this stage is the direct correction of defects in the syllabic structure of words in a particular speech-language pathologist child).

Preparatory stage

At this stage, the child is offered tasks first on non-verbal material, and then on verbal.

Working on non-verbal material

1. Games and exercises for the development of concentration of auditory attention, auditory gnosis (FOOTNOTE: Auditory gnosis - recognition of an object by its characteristic sound) and auditory memory based on non-speech sounds (Where did they call? Recognize a musical instrument by sound . How many times did they hit the drum).

2. Work on rhythm (first on simple, then on complex)

.Children are offered various ways to reproduce rhythm: clapping their hands, tapping a ball on the floor, using the musical
instruments of a drum , tambourine, and metallophone.
The types of tasks are as follows:

• Clap your hands as many times as there are dots on the die (how many dots are on the card)

;

• Count how many times you clap your hands and pick up the card with the corresponding number (the rhythm is first suggested simple, then complex)

;

•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;

•Tasks using stress to highlight part of a rhythmic pattern: !; !;

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

• Playing long sounds (pipe, harmonica symbol «-»

) and short (drum, tambourine symbol
«+»
).

The rhythmic pattern can be as follows: —++, ++-+—, etc.

3. Formation of general coordination of movements to rhythmic music: marching, easy running, walking.

Note. These types of work can be carried out both in music classes and in logarithmics, if the correction is carried out in a speech therapy preschool educational institution.

4. Exercises to develop dynamic praxis of the hands: performing movements (with the left, right hand, two hands)

according to a model, according to
verbal instructions or by counting : fist edge, fist edge palm.
5. Exercises to develop reciprocal hand coordination: performing movements with both hands simultaneously (fist of the left hand, edge of the right hand, etc.)

6. Graphic exercises for switching (continue the line)

: 0-0-0. ; +=+=.

Note. Types of work and methods of presenting tasks are selected taking into account the age, intellectual and speech development of the child.

Working on verbal material

1. Games and exercises aimed at developing such spatial-temporal concepts 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 .

For the purpose of propaedeutics to familiarize children with the sound-syllable series, we can recommend the creation of didactic game situations using, for example, the Russian folk tale “Turnip”

.
This type of work was proposed by speech therapist E.V. Rybina (FOOTNOTE: Rybina E.V. Didactic games in preparation for sound analysis // Defectology. 1989. 4). During the conversation with the child, concepts are clarified and reinforced in his passive and active vocabulary : first last, beginning middle end, between before before after (Who pulled the turnip first? Who stood between grandfather and granddaughter? Who stood behind grandmother? Etc. .).
For children with a low level of speech development (ONR-1, ONR-2)

The proposed types of work are not available.
Therefore, in early preschool age, it is recommended to begin preparatory work with exercises to develop auditory perception, to develop the ability to listen to an adult’s , to carry out simple instructions , and assignments. During classes, children get acquainted with simple musical instruments such as pipe, drum, rattle, tambourine, and bell. Children learn to recognize musical toys by ear without visual reinforcement, show the sounded instrument , and remember its name. , concepts such as quietly loud are introduced
into the passive and then into the active vocabulary At this stage of work, children also learn to distinguish loud (colloquial)

and whispered speech, learn to listen to the speech
of an adult , and clearly follow instructions given in a whisper. In the process of working with younger preschoolers, you can conduct game activities to develop imitation (Do as I do: performing movements according to the example of an adult , games accompanied by speech (Hands to the sides in a fist, unclench and on the side, simple exercises to develop dynamic praxis of the hands ( Show your palms, hide your palms: clench your hands into fists, unclench)
.In addition, children are asked to perform actions with musical toys
(Blow the pipe)
.If the child is familiar with the concepts of one many, then the task may be as follows: Blow the pipe many times. Blow the pipe once. All of the above types of exercises gradually prepare the child for mastering the rhythmic
structure of his native language .
The formation of sound pronunciation at this stage is not an independent task: it is closely related to the mastery of words of different syllabic structures . Children are taught to unconsciously divide words into syllables , syllable-by-syllable pronunciation words ... Reproduction of the word is accompanied by clapping in compliance with the rhythm. Direct identical syllables (yes-yes, yes-yes, syllables with different sounds (ma-pa, pa-ma, closed and reverse syllables (pap-ap)

In the process of conducting classes with children of the first level of speech development (ONR-1)

The child’s active attitude towards linguistic reality is consistently formed. The key point at this stage of training is a specially organized emotional game with a specific educational and speech task.

Corrective stage

Corrective work is carried out on verbal material and consists of several levels. Particular importance at each level is given to “engagement in work”

in addition to the speech analyzer there is also an auditory, visual and tactile one.

Vowel level

Children are offered the following tasks:

• Say the sound A as many times as there are dots on the cube;

• Say the sound O as many times as the speech therapist clapped his hands;

• Singing a series of sounds with clear articulation, repeating sounds after a speech therapist, reading letters, writing a series of letters (auditory and visual dictations)

: A U I O; AU IA OA; AUI IAU; AUA UAU; AUIA IUAO;

•The same tasks with emphasis on the shock sound: AUA, AUA, AUA;

• Recognizing a series of sounds by silent articulation and pronouncing them with a voice;

• 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; AAA; AAA-AAA.

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. The 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 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, one
syllable );
• Count how many syllables the speech therapist pronounced ( straight , reverse, consonant syllables)

;

• Name the stressed syllable in the chain of heard syllables ;

• Syllable building ( “ Say one syllable more than I do”

): sa-so. ;

• Reducing the number of syllables ( “Say one syllable less than I did”

): sa-so-su-sy;

• Reading chains of syllables : sa-so-su-sy; sy-sa-so-su;

• Tapping syllable chains by touching the thumb and middle or thumb and index fingers of the leading hand, and the same syllables are tapped with the same fingers: sa-so-so, so-sa-so;

• Reading or repeating a series of syllables :

a-sa, a-so, a-su, a-sy;

i-sa, i-so, i-su, i-sy;

u-so, u-so, u-su, u-sy;

o-sa, o-so, o-su, o-sy;

• Memorizing and repeating a chain of syllables : sa-so-so; so-sa-sa; sa-so-sa; so-sa-so; sa-sa-so; so-so-sa;

• Repeat after the speech therapist, reading a series of syllables with a combination of consonants: hundred-hundred-stu-sty;

o-sta, a-hundred, a-stu, a-sta;

and-sta, and-hundred, and-stu, and-sta;

oh-hundred, oh-hundred, oh-hundred, oh-hundred;

u-sta, u-stu, u-stu, u-stu.

Note. In some cases, articulation exercises can be replaced with exercises for pronouncing combinations of consonant sounds, but they include only those sounds that the child can pronounce correctly.

• Come up with a chain of as many syllables as dots appear on the die, write down the syllables ;

• Come up with a syllable for the scheme : SG, GS, SGS, SSG, GSS;

• “Say the opposite”
(ball game)
: sa-as, tsa-ast;

• Fluent reading of syllabic tables with forward and backward syllables , syllables with consonant clusters;

• "Who is faster?"

: the table contains
syllables (of different types)
;
the child must quickly find and read the syllable ;
• 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 )

;

• Visual dictation of a chain of syllables containing syllables of various types .

Word level

When practicing words of different syllable structures, the following must be taken into account:

• the structure of words being mastered expands and becomes more complex due to the structures ;

• the formation of the syllabic structure of words is carried out on the basis of certain word , which are fixed both in isolation and as part of a phrase;

• in the most severe cases, work should begin with evoking or consolidating the onomatopoeic words . (Particular attention should be paid to the repetition of onomatopoeia, which creates certain opportunities for mastering the syllabic series , for example: aw-aw, meow-meow.)

• the transition to two-syllable words is carried out using already acquired simple syllabic constructions : children are offered two-syllable words like SG + SG with the same repeated syllables (mother, woman)

At the initial stage, with a low level of speech development, the main task of speech therapy is the accumulation of an elementary expressive vocabulary by inducing imitative speech activity in children in the form of any sound manifestations, as well as expanding the volume of understood speech. At this stage, it is recommended to use words with a simple syllabic structure that do not include the articulation of complex sounds, and the main goal is to clarify the contour of the word (its length)

.
Work with “non-speaking”
children begins with inducing or reinforcing onomatopoeia.
Then it is advisable to move on to working with words like S G , S GS (on, give, here, here, there)
. Their pronunciation is usually accompanied by gestures.

After the child has a need to imitate the word of an adult , it is necessary to get him to reproduce the stressed syllable , and then the intonation-rhythmic pattern of one-, two- and three-syllable words (the child can perceive the sound composition of the word approximately; at this stage it is not recommended to correct the sound pronunciation) . You should pay attention to the formation of a coherent statement combining two words into one sentence (Dai bibi)

Great importance is attached to the selection of lexical material for classes that would prepare the child for verbal communication and the development of the communicative function of speech. Everyday vocabulary is used words related to various parts of speech. For more active and successful learning of the material during speech therapy classes, it is recommended to create various game situations.

Thus, the nature of the speech therapy intervention in the development of the syllabic structure of a word is determined by the level of speech development of the speech-language pathologist child, as well as individual difficulties in mastering the elements of speech. As already noted, the development of the syllabic structure of words is carried out on the basis of certain word , which are fixed both in isolation and as part of phrases.

The order of 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 proposes a sequence of work that helps clarify the contour of the word :
• Two-syllable words made of open syllables (vata)

;

• Three-syllable words made from open syllables (machine)

;

•monosyllabic: words representing a closed syllable (poppy)

;

• two-syllable words with a closed syllable (lemon)

;

• two-syllable words with a cluster of consonants in the middle of the word (bank)

;

• two-syllable words with a closed syllable and a consonant cluster (teapot)

;

• three-syllable words with a closed syllable (teremok)

;

• three-syllable words with a consonant cluster and a closed syllable (bus)

;

• three-syllable words with two consonant clusters (matryoshka)

;

• monosyllabic words with a consonant cluster at the beginning and end of the word (flag, screw)

;

• two-syllable words with two consonant clusters (star)

;

• four-syllable words made from open syllables (corn)

In the process of practicing words with different types of syllable structure, you can use the following types of games and exercises.
