The classes are developed based on our website logoped-online.by . On the site you will find colorful illustrations, mnemonic tracks, games and exercises to help with the printouts.
Instructions included.
Each lesson contains a set of articulation exercises for the sound “L”. At the beginning, all exercises are presented in pictures and with descriptions. Further descriptions are attached only to new exercises. Articulatory gymnastics exercises are necessary to prepare the speech apparatus, so do them. And your baby will speak faster!
In each lesson you will also find a lot of varied speech material . Pictures of the speech material can be found using the provided links or QR codes. You can log in from your smartphone using a special application. By following links or codes you get to the site and complete the same tasks, but with the help of pictures. All this is done in order to make classes as interesting and comfortable as possible for kids.
In order for the child to find it both interesting and at the same time useful, the classes are supplemented with numerous coloring pages . This is both visibility for the child and the development of fine motor skills of the fingers. Let us remind you that it is better to color with triangular pencils: they fit better in the child’s fingers.
And the main rule is to make sure that the child says the sound “L” correctly!!!
The website presents an abbreviated version of a set of lessons on strengthening the sound “L”. You can get the full version by writing to the email address
Automation of the L sound at the end of words:
- glass, pencil case, jackal, barbecue, dagger, ox, stake, table;
- goal, football, shot, basketball, chair, hall, grin, pedestal.
You can reinforce the sound L by naming or repeating words in pictures, or you can make classes even more interesting and varied. To do this, we offer you options for games and exercises. These games will help not only automate the sound in words, but also develop the grammatical structure of speech, memory, attention, and thinking of your baby.
Automation of isolated sound [L]
First, the articulation of a phoneme needs to be worked out in isolation, that is, separately from other phonemes. At the staging stage and during consolidation, it is important to use auxiliary processes - vision, touch. Based on visual stimuli that the preschooler rarely used or did not use at all, correct visual-motor and auditory-verbal stereotypes are created. The lesson should be conducted in front of a mirror so that the child can see his own face and the face of the teacher to control the correct articulation.
The sound needs to be fixed separately in an interesting playful way. Simply pronouncing a phoneme is not enough for a child to reproduce it correctly - in certain situations, a detailed explanation is required of how to position the organs of the speech apparatus in order to achieve accurate articulation. There are times when using analogies or imitating the actions of the tongue with the palm of your hand is effective. For a long time, it is important to remind the child visually and verbally how to pronounce [L]. When a sound is isolated, familiarization occurs with the letter denoting it.
Good Zlata
Zlata was sitting on a bench and eating a bun with sausage. A stray dog approached Zlata. She looked at the sausage, then at Zlata and whined quietly. It was clear from the dog's eyes that she had not eaten for a long time.
Zlata broke off half of the bun and gave it to the hungry dog. She ate everything instantly. Then the dog reached out to Zlata and began to affectionately lick her palms.
Elk and woodpecker
The elk stood under the tree and looked at the Woodpecker. The woodpecker grabbed the trunk of the tree with its tenacious paws and deftly sat on its tail. He hollowed out the trunk and pecked out larvae and beetles from it.
“How are you, Woodpecker?” - exclaimed Elk standing under the tree. “Things are bad! - Woodpecker answered. - Jackdaw let me down. She promised not to occupy my hollow, but she did. She raised chicks in it. I was left without a home!
Elk, without thinking twice, said to Woodpecker: “Listen, gore Jackdaw.” And he started laughing. The Woodpecker understood the elk's cruel joke. After thinking, Woodpecker replied: “Not a bad idea! Just you, dear Elk, climb up my tree - together we’ll fly to Jackdaw!”
How little Zlata became big
Little Ella really wanted to become big. She did everything for this! She put on my mother's high-heeled shoes. She curled her hair. She put beads around her neck. She even let her lips down with lipstick. But everyone in the house still called Ella baby.
One day Ella herself washed all the dishes in the kitchen and swept the floor. And then I made an omelette! And then suddenly dad said to mom: “Our Ella has become very big!”
Apparently, it’s not heels and lipstick that make people big!
Unusual peg
Pavel planted a small apple tree in the garden. The trunk of the apple tree was thin - just like that, it would break. Pavel made a stake and stuck it in the ground near the apple tree. Pavel connected the weak trunk of the apple tree and the peg with a bandage. I tied up the apple tree and calmed down. All that was left was to wait for the green leaves.
Every day Pavel went to the apple tree and watered it. I watched the branches carefully. But there were still no green leaves!
One day Pavel saw from the window that his apple tree had finally turned green. When Pavel came closer, it turned out that it was on the peg, and not on the apple tree, that several green leaves appeared! “That’s a peg!” - Pavel thought.
Automation [L] in connected speech
Fixing a phoneme in coherent speech is the most important stage of automation. At this stage, work with the phoneme in specially organized situations is completed. Next, the phoneme will be used in your own spontaneous utterances.
Not all children need to practice pronunciation using text material - if a child easily uses the given sound without difficulty, it is advisable to start spontaneous speech. But most children definitely need reinforcement in the text. For work, short stories are chosen, enriched with the phoneme being practiced.
When working with texts, sound is used without lengthening, without exaggerated articulation. The phoneme must be equivalent in relation to the flow of other phonemes. At this stage, stories of different types are used:
- Stories based on reference pictures are a transitional step from repeating phrases to retelling texts. Stories should be short, [L] should be contained in only a few words, which are proposed to be inserted in the right place after showing the image.
- Stories-tasks. The work begins in a similar way with one or two words. The speech therapist reads the problem, the child must solve it and answer orally in one word, and then in an expanded phrase.
- Stories on leading questions.
- Ordinary stories with a lot of fixed phoneme. Questions are also allowed here.
- Writing a story on a specific topic. The child is given a topic for an essay and words with a fixed phoneme, which he must include in his story. These classes prepare you for incorporating phonemes into your own speech.
Automation [L] in words
You should not fix the phoneme in syllables for too long; you should start working on words as quickly as possible. This is important because in words the sound is surrounded by other sounds that leave a characteristic auditory-speech imprint. Also, children perceive meaningful, meaningful words more easily.
In addition to the meaning accessible to the child, words for automation work play a very significant role. They help fix the phoneme in different positions and create the necessary articulatory patterns. The child does not memorize all the words of his native language with the studied phoneme, he learns to pronounce various combinations with the new phoneme, which will later be used in other words containing the phoneme [L].
Automation of [L] in words is carried out according to the following algorithm:
- Practicing words starting with [L].
- Practicing the intervocalic position [L] (between two vowels).
- Practicing words ending in [L].
- Practicing [L] in the middle of a word.
- Consolidation in words containing several sounds [L].
striped stick
Vladik walked with Polkan and constantly threw a stick at him. Polkan did not want to carry a stick. Then Vladik himself began to run after the stick. He knelt down, picked up a stick from the ground with his teeth and carried it to Polkan. Yes, studying was hard!
Once Vladik threw the stick especially far. Polkan was not seen for a long time. Finally, Vladik noticed that Polkan was carrying a stick in his teeth. The owner smiled contentedly. When Polkan came closer, Vlad saw in his mouth... a striped police baton!
Bad thing
A small kitten was sitting on the steps at the entrance. Near him, with his head down, stood a large dog - a Dalmatian. The dog barked angrily at the kitten.
Not far away, on a bench, sat Vlad, the dog’s owner. He looked at his dog and smiled. The little kitten cowered and squeaked.
An elderly woman came out of the entrance. She picked up the kitten and commanded the dog: “Ugh! It is forbidden! Go away!" Then the woman came up to Vlad and said: “I found myself some fun! And aren’t you ashamed?” Vlad replied: “What? I did not do anything!" “That’s what’s bad!” - the woman remarked.
Automation [L] in poems
When a child learns to accurately pronounce sound in words, phrases and sentences rich in it, you can begin to reinforce it in poems.
For classes, it is advisable to select works that do not contain oppositional sounds [L] and [P] or those with which [L] was replaced before production.
You should try to choose poems with a meaning that is accessible to the child, based on his age characteristics and level of general development. If there are unknown or incomprehensible words, you need to carry out dictionary work, during which their meaning is explained. Understanding the meaning helps when speaking the text.
If a poem provokes the emergence of negative emotions or associations, you should not insist on working with it.
There is no need to offer long poems to a small child - it is difficult for a child to retain a large plot, he will lose the thread of meaning and reproduce a set of words. You cannot use poems with too long lines or a complex word order - this also complicates the understanding of the meaning and worsens the quality of speech.
The poem is offered one line at a time, and the child is asked to repeat. This process is called reflected recitation. Joint simultaneous pronunciation (conjugate) is not allowed at this stage. If a preschooler has difficulty remembering and reproducing the entire line at once - he cannot remember, confuses the order of words, or incorrectly says the sound being reinforced in one or more words - he needs to switch to repeating one word at a time. When introducing a child to a text, you should use your voice to highlight the phoneme being studied.
Words are pronounced in accordance with orthoepic rather than spelling rules. The same verse must be practiced over several lessons. Poems previously known to the child, but with a broken phoneme, are relearned after going through all stages of automation.
It's a pity!
It was summer. Volodya’s mother left home on business. She left her son some money and told him to go to the store. Volodya had to buy two packages of milk, two packs of butter and a package of sour cream.
Volodya took his bag and went to the store. He bought butter, sour cream and milk. When Volodya entered the entrance, the boys he knew called out to him: “Volodya, come out, let’s play football!”
Volodya flew into the kitchen, threw his bag on the floor and immediately ran out into the street. After half an hour in a warm place, without a refrigerator, the milk turned sour, the butter began to flow, and the sour cream became liquid and tasteless.
What a pity!
Automation [L] in a phrase
Automation of the sound [L] in sentences represents a transitional link between the artificial pronunciation of individual words and independent speech. The child needs to control the correctness of the pronounced sound, as well as convey the essence of the statement. In addition, to pronounce a phrase consisting of several words, a long, even exhalation is required.
To move on to pronouncing phrases, it is necessary to speak the phoneme quite freely, and not use syllable-by-syllable pronunciation. The speech organs must quickly adapt from one articulatory position to another. It is advisable to use pure tongue twisters and tongue twisters. It is extremely undesirable at this stage to incorrectly pronounce the sound being studied.
It is necessary to cultivate a calm, smooth pace of speech. If a child speaks quickly and pronounces sounds vaguely, he will not get used to controlling the correctness of his own speech. Such a child can deform or skip even those phonemes that he speaks correctly in isolation. Developing a measured speed provokes an improvement in sound pronunciation. Speech volume is also important.
Fun party
The last day of the year has arrived. Lyudmila was waiting for guests for dinner. How many things does a young housewife need to do?
