Tongue twisters for preschool children for the development of speech and diction

At a young age, children periodically have difficulties pronouncing combinations of sounds. To eliminate the problem, teachers use the technique of patter phrases. You can learn to pronounce consonant sounds clearly. In addition, they treat childhood stuttering.

Tongue twisters help train a child's diction.

From 3 to 4 years in kindergarten

In this age category, children have problems with the letters Ш, Ж, Ш, Л, and they don’t yet know how to pronounce R. There are several exercises for them that help them develop the ability to pronounce words and phrases correctly.

The first exercise is called “Tell from a picture.” You need to choose images with fairy tale characters or animals and ask your child to describe the illustrations.

The second task is to pronounce mixed sounds. For children of this age, choose options for the hissing group, Sha, as well as the combinations Cha-Tsa, La-Ra:

To interest the child, as well as to correctly perform all types of exercises with him, they need to be read in the form of a poem.

Children can memorize already complex tongue twisters:

“They threw bananas at a funny monkey. They threw bananas to a funny monkey.”
“Kirill covered the jar with a lid.”
“But the tea cups, in sadness, knocking and clanking, cried out.”

You can use mini-poems during training.

From 5 to 6 years

It is important that at the age of 5 or 6 the preschooler has already learned to pronounce the sound R. If the baby does not pronounce the voiced R, then the speech therapist should choose the right articulation gymnastics for him.

Professional classes with a speech therapist.
