When pronouncing the sound “sh” correctly, the tongue should occupy a certain position in the mouth. It is spread wide, and the tip is raised towards the hard palate, and forms a gap with it behind the upper teeth. The lateral edges of the tongue are pressed against the upper incisors.

How to teach a child to say the letter “w” at home - do tongue exercises with him

If the baby cannot pronounce the sound correctly, articulation gymnastics is needed. For home exercises, special exercises are used that train the speech apparatus. The child should perform them in front of the mirror to see how he can repeat what his mother shows:

• “fence” - the baby must close his teeth and show his mother what kind of “fence” he has made;
• “tube” - the child stretches his lips forward like a tube, then quickly alternates between the “tube” and “fence” exercises;
• “lazy tongue” - the tongue needs to be stuck out of the mouth and placed on the lower lip, completely relaxed;
• “bucket” - we bend the relaxed tongue up and place it behind the upper teeth, blow on it, which produces the sound “sh”.

In addition to the basic exercises given, you can use others. When the child can easily and correctly repeat all the tasks, they move on to making the sound “sh”.

Lessons on making the sound “sh”

A child's education cannot be achieved without play. First you need to check your attentiveness and clarity of perception. Say words with and without the letter “sh” in any order. Invite your child to clap his hands when he hears words that contain the sound “sh”.

Be sure to praise your child for his successes.

Ask your child to use his hand to depict a hissing snake, which must follow the drawn labyrinth to the goal.

How to teach a child to pronounce hissing sounds [Ш], [Ф], [Ч], [Ш]

Many parents are concerned about the problem of correct pronunciation of baby speech sounds. Sounds, which says the child, are formed due to a complex set of movements of the articulatory organs. The older the baby gets, the clearer and more differentiated his articulatory and facial movements become, as a result the child’s speech becomes more and more understandable. Normally, the formation of correct pronunciations of soft sibilants(h, sch) occurs by age four, and solid hissing(w, f) by the age of five. Exactly to senior group kindergarten (5 – 6 years) pronunciation of hissing sounds is considered completed. But in practice, a significant number of children, for a number of reasons (disorder of intrauterine development, birth trauma, somatic weakness, physiological disorders articulatory apparatus, etc., do not have the skill of correct pronunciation of hissing sounds.

Correct articulation hissing sounds

Ш - lips are slightly rounded, the tip of the tongue is raised behind the upper teeth, the lateral edges of the tongue are pressed against the upper teeth, the tongue takes the shape of a cup, the voice is asleep, a warm air stream flows through the middle of the tongue. Ш - consonant, hard, deaf, hissing

H – lips slightly rounded. The tip of the tongue and its back form a closure with tubercles, this closure imperceptibly passes into the gap; between them, a strong, jerky stream of air passes through the middle of the tongue. The sound Ch must be pronounced briefly. Sound Ch – consonant, soft, deaf, hissing.

Sh - lips slightly rounded. The tip of the tongue is raised to the tubercles and forms a gap with them; a warm, smooth stream of air flows through the middle of the tongue. Ш – consonant, soft, deaf, hissing.

Disadvantages in pronunciation of hissing sounds: interdental, nasal lateral pronunciation. Except this: "lower" pronunciation of sounds Ш, AND

(reminds sound Ш, absence hissing sounds and replacement with other sounds.

In order for children's speech to be clear and understandable, it is necessary to work on the development of the muscles of the articulatory apparatus. There are many special exercises for developing mobility of the tongue, lips, cheeks, and hyoid frenulum, which are called articulatory gymnastics. And so that child It was interesting to perform articulation exercises for the tongue and lips, we suggest you use fairy tales. It's time to remember the gnome Tongue and listen to him funny stories. Stories from the life of this gnome are told only while sitting in front of the mirror. What is today's talk about? Everything is very prosaic... The gnome Tongue is having breakfast.

Fairy tale "Tongue's Breakfast"

“The gnome Tongue stands thoughtfully in the kitchen and can’t decide what to cook for breakfast. Finally, he takes the frying pan. (Exercise "Pan": the mouth is slightly open in a smile, the wide front edge of the tongue lies on the lower lip, the lateral edges are raised, a kind of roll is formed along the edge of the tongue. Hold in this position for at least 10 seconds.) “No, I won’t fry anything!” The gnome puts the frying pan in the closet. (Remove your tongue and close your mouth.) “But you can try!” The frying pan is taken out again and placed on the stove (Exercise "Pan"). Then the Gnome’s gaze falls on the pink cup. “Better tea!”- Tongue thinks and takes out a cup. (Exercise "Cup": The mouth is open, a wide tongue with highly raised edges is located near the upper teeth. It is important that the lower lip does not "planted" tongue, and he held this position independently for at least 10 seconds). At this time the doorbell rings. Friends came. For everyone, you need to get a cup from the cupboard. (Exercise "Cup" is performed as many times as friends come to the gnome.)"

It’s simply wonderful if the baby performed both of these exercises correctly the first time. What if there are problems? For example, it is not possible to make the language broad. You'll have to simplify the exercise and punish the naughty tongue by spanking it with your teeth "ta-ta-ta-..." And lips: "five-five-five-..."(Exercise "Kneading the dough"). Finally, the tongue spread out and obediently lay on the lower lip. Now is the time to bake the pancakes. (Exercise "Pancake": hold the wide tongue on the lower lip in a calm state for at least 10 seconds, it is important to ensure that the lower lip does not strain or pull on the lower teeth.) We bake pancakes in sufficient quantity: There should be enough for everyone! Make sure that they are of the correct rounded shape with smooth edges. Oh, how delicious! Let's lick our upper lip with pleasure. But not from side to side, but with a wide tongue from top to bottom. And again. And one more thing (Exercise "Delicious jam": smile, open your mouth; lick your upper lip from top to bottom with your tongue in a cup shape (you can lubricate it with jam; the lower lip should not fit your teeth (you can pull it down with your hand).Let's hope that with one problem we coped: tongue learned to be broad. On to the next one stage: we'll teach the tongue is held behind the upper teeth. But this is the next one story:

Fairy tale “The brave rider is going mushroom picking”

“The gnome Tongue loves to ride a horse. He takes the reins in his hands and skillfully controls his horse. (Exercise "Horse": loud "tsk" tongue, while the lower jaw should be motionless.) At first the horse gallops slowly, then faster and faster. Where is our brave rider heading? To the forest. How many mushrooms are there! Here is a strong little boletus hiding under the tree. (Exercise "Fungus": The wide tongue sticks its surface to the palate. The upper part of the tongue is the mushroom cap, the hyoid frenulum is the stalk. Stretch it as far as possible, while opening your mouth wide. Make sure that child He didn’t just lift his tongue up, but actually sucked it to the roof of his mouth! Hold in this position for at least 5 seconds.) The gnome cut off the fungus (lower the tongue to the bottom of the mouth) and immediately saw a pink wave (do it again "Fungus", holding your tongue in this position for at least 8 seconds).

In a clearing near a young aspen tree there grew two bright red fly agarics. Their hats were so big! The fly agarics swayed on their thin legs, and it seemed that they were about to fall. (The child and the adult do "Fungus" and hold your tongue as long as possible. It's like competition: whose fungus will last longer.) The gnome should not take fly agarics became: They are poisonous! But he collected a basket full of others mushrooms: boletus, boletus, boletus, saffron milk cap (perform the exercise a few more times "Fungus")».

I must say that the exercise "Fungus" It’s quite complicated, and not every kid can do it the first time. Surely the form "hats" will not be round, the tongue will not stick to the palate with the entire surface, but only with the tip. I'll have to go back to the exercise. "Horse" and ask no child"snap" tongue during "clatter", and delay as long as possible (get stuck) on the palate. It should work! Every time time "stuck" is extended.

What kids like most is exercise "Focus". This is a very effective exercise. It is used by speech therapists when setting up sizzling for a long time. Wide (shaped "cups") stick the tongue out of the mouth, lift its front edge towards the nose, but under no circumstances press it to the upper lip! There is a gap between the tongue and the upper lip. The lips are stretched in a smile, the lateral edges of the tongue touch the corners of the mouth. Bye child will build this complex structure, you place a piece of cotton wool on the tip of his nose. And now the baby must blow on the cotton wool without losing the shape of his tongue. The fleece flies upward. If this is not the case is happening, which means the air stream went in the wrong direction, for example, to the corners of the mouth, or to the cheeks. Or maybe the baby couldn’t hold his tongue, and he "crawled away" in the mouth. ... We need to re-invigorate the language correct form. This may take more than one lesson. Patience, and again patience. Air flow is very important when staging hissing. But the path it takes is no less important. Normal for sounds Ш, F, the air goes strictly in the middle of the tongue. You should also pay attention to the lower lip. She sometimes interferes: tucks under the lower teeth, strains unnecessarily, "gets me hooked" language. From similar "bearish" services will have to be refused.

Lips play an important role in pronouncing hissing. They should stretch forward "proboscis". But it is not possible to give such a shape to the lips right away. We'll have to resort to articulation again exercises: "Bagel": close your teeth, round your lips extended forward, the corners of your lips do not touch, your lips do not cover your teeth, hold your lips in this position for a count of 5-10; "Trunk": Pull your lips forward like a tube, teeth open.

If you want to correct speech defects that have arisen in your baby, then articulatory gymnastics should be carried out daily. The child should perform these exercises in front of a mirror, and under adult supervision. You must first work through all the exercises yourself and be prepared to patiently demonstrate them to your baby countless times.

Staging sounds [Ш], [AND]

After the above exercises are completed as a child easy and relaxed, it’s worth taking up staging yourself hissing. It’s unlikely to do without a game here. Hissing is the privilege of a snake. Therefore, it is worth depicting it using... a hand. She will be the snake th: hand - head, everything else - flexible body. Here "snake" crawls on the table. Then he raises his head, makes a stand (resting on his elbow, pulls his head forward, and, opening his mouth, hisses: "Shhh...". At the same time, it is worth paying attention child for that that the language is "cup" raised up, and the lips are pulled forward like a tube. If this is a problem, use your thumb and forefinger to lightly press on your cheeks at the corners of your mouth, shaping your lips "tubes". Let the baby pretend to be a snake again and hiss. Is it really a failure again? Don't despair. The handle of a teaspoon will come to the rescue again. If the child clearly pronounces the sound [S], let will play it back, and at this time you bring the handle of the spoon under your tongue, lift it up to the palate and push it back a little. Be careful not to press too hard on your tongue. Did it work? Rejoice with as a child pure sound [SH-SH-SH-SH]. Together with remember as a child where else can you hear this sound?

The hiss of air leaving the tire;

The forest rustles in the wind;

Mouse scratching under the floor;

The hiss of an angry cat;

The rustling of autumn leaves underfoot, etc.

All this child must be depicted using sound [Ш].

Correction of defects sound pronunciation[Zh] with mastered articulation [Sh] does not cause difficulties. The child is offered pronounce the sound [Ш] in a drawn-out manner and"turn on" voice. This is first done by the adult himself, bringing one of the child’s hands to his mouth and placing the other to his throat. (to feel the vibration). It's time to pretend to be a good bug and buzz: “J-J-J-...”. Except this beetle make a sound:

Working electric motors

If learned sound [Ш], shortcomings in pronouncing[SH] and [H] are usually not observed, with the exception of more complex cases in which it is necessary to consult a speech therapist.

Important to know: the dosage of breathing exercises, as well as exercises related to staging and automation, should be observed sound [Ш], as they are quite tiring for the child and can cause dizziness due to hyperventilation.

Automation hissing sounds in a child's speech

Automation sounds– consolidation of the correct pronunciation by gradual introduction of the supplied sounds into syllables, words, sentences, pure sayings, poems, nursery rhymes, tongue twisters, texts and independent speech of the child. In automation classes, an exaggerated, longer and clearer speaking an automated sound. Suggest for the child to play(with sounds, with the words, don't tell him "Let's get busy". For classes with children, it is advisable to use illustrated literature on automation hissing sounds.

When child will be in independent speech Right pronounce the sounds Ш,F,H,Sch? Even the most highly qualified speech therapist will not give you an accurate answer to this question. For one child, classes from 2-3 months to six months will be enough, for another child even a year is not enough to learn to speak clearly. It depends individual characteristics the child, his structure of the articulatory apparatus, and ultimately - from the desire of the child himself to do this. Well, if problems arise, speech therapists are always ready to help you.

еёё129 Drawings for tasks used at the sound automation stage [с]

Demonstration of correct articulation of the sound [sh]. Draw the child's attention to the position of the lips, teeth and tongue.

Plastic image of the shape of the tongue using the hands

With your right hand, draw a “cup” shape of the tongue, and with your left hand, the palate.

Setting the sound [w] according to R.I. Levina (1965)

Setting the sound [sh] by imitation

Raise your tongue to your upper lip and exhale air evenly and forcefully, controlling the air stream with the back of your hand.

Having achieved the release of a warm stream of air from the position of the tongue at the upper lip, move the tongue over the upper teeth to the palate with the mouth open. Round your lips and stretch them forward, bring your teeth together at a distance of 1-2 mm and exhale. The sound should be [w].

Arranging the sound [sh] based on the sound [t]

Pronounce the sound [t] several times at intervals of 2-3 seconds. Then the setting is given: the tongue “knocks” not on the teeth, but on the tubercles (alveoli). The sound [t] is pronounced at first with an aspiration, while a weak and short hissing sound is mixed with the sound of the explosion.

Round your lips and extend them forward, raise your tongue to the front of the palate. Press the lateral edges of the tongue against the molars. Transition from sound [t] to sound [sh]: t-t-t-shhhh. Subsequently, the noise lengthens and is freed from the previous sound [t].

Arranging the sound [w] based on the sound [r]

Make a drawn-out sound [r] without a voice or in a whisper, gradually reducing the force of exhalation until the vibration stops and a faint hiss appears. With repeated exercises, the sound [w] is obtained without the previous pronunciation of a dull sound [r].

Hissing can be obtained by touching the lower surface of the tongue with a spatula, slowing down the vibration of the tongue.

Arranging the sound [w] based on the sound [s]

Place your tongue behind your lower teeth. Invite the child to pronounce the sound [s]. At the same time, use a spatula or probe to lift the tongue upward. With your fingers right hand lightly press on your cheeks and move your lips forward. Instead of a whistle, you should get a hiss. You can invite your child to repeat the syllables sa, so, sy, asa, asy, as, os with simultaneous lifting of the tongue with a probe or spatula.

Arranging the sound [w] based on the sound [h]

Make the sound [h] followed by a long exhalation. You should feel a warm stream of air on your hand brought to your mouth.

Usually, in the process of teaching children speech, hissing sounds, such as Sh, Ch, Zh, Shch, are taught last. This is due to the fact that most children either independently learn to pronounce these sounds by listening and analyzing the sounds of nature, or because parents believe that over time the child will learn the necessary letters and sounds on his own. How to teach a child hissing sounds?

If your baby is 4-5 years old, but is still not friends with the hissing ones, you need to try to help him. The easiest way, which would suit perhaps the laziest parent, is to enroll your child in classes with a speech therapist. The doctor will be able to competently assess the extent of the problem and, through a series of sessions, will correct the baby’s speech defects related to hissing sounds.

However, if your child is younger than this age and you have additional time to spend with your baby, you can teach your child to pronounce hissing sounds at home, using the tips and exercises that we give below.

These exercises are often practiced in speech therapists’ offices when working with children who have difficulty pronouncing hissing words. Before you start doing them, prepare a mirror and practice yourself. This way, it will be easier for you to explain to your child what is required of him.

1. Learning to move your lips correctly.
2. Air stream.
3. J and Sh.
4. We fix it.

To learn how to hiss, you need to understand how they sound. Before starting training, the mother must demonstrate to the child what sounds and letters will be studied in today's lesson. Then you need to ask the baby to repeat these sounds. To do this, ask the child to place the tongue on the lower teeth and begin to lightly tap it with the upper teeth, pronouncing the syllable “ta-ta-ta-ta.”

Next, continue the exercise by slapping your tongue with your upper lip and saying something like the sound “five.”

Learning to move your lips correctly

To teach a child hissing sounds, he needs to control his tongue and lips. To do this you should use the following exercise:

The child sticks out his tongue, leaving his mouth slightly open. You need to put a tiny candy on the tongue and ask the child to move it on the tongue to the upper palate. At the same time, it is important that the child performs exercises not with the jaw, but purely with the tongue.

Air jet

To learn how to speak hissing sounds, you should work on the air stream between your teeth. To do this, the child should open his mouth slightly and place his tongue on his lower lip. Place a thin piece of cotton wool on the edge of the baby's nose. Ask your child to inhale through his nose and exhale through his mouth. Praise him for making the hissing sound. If the fleece rises up, it means the child is exercising correctly.

F and W

Often it is the sounds Zh and Sh that are most difficult for a child to say. To teach your child to pronounce the hissing sounds from this series, ask him to start by pronouncing the sound “SA”. Then let him repeat it again, placing the tongue a little deeper in the mouth. The closer the child’s tongue is to the alevioles, the more clearly the syllable “SA” will resemble the sound “sh”.

To teach the sound “zh”, ask the child to pronounce the sound “ZA”, and then proceed by analogy with the previous exercise.

We fix

How to teach a child hissing sounds? Classes. Classes. And once again classes. And even when your child learns to “hiss” and “buzz,” it is important not to stop working with him and constantly consolidate what he has achieved.

To reinforce the hissing sounds, you need to read aloud to the child the rhymes where they sound, and try to learn them together with the child. It’s also a good idea to find such sounds in nature and ask your baby to repeat them. For example, you can teach your child what a bug makes or what a flat tire or balloon sounds like.

It is important that the baby not only knows how to pronounce hissing sounds, but also has various associations regarding the sounds that surround him and which he has to pronounce.

The child does not pronounce hissing words: exercises for making the sound “sh”

Correct pronunciation of the sound "sh":

When the sound w pronounced correctly

• lips rounded and slightly extended forward;
• teeth close but not touching;
• language takes the shape of a cup, its tip touches the tubercles behind the upper teeth (alveoli); the air stream is strong, warm, and comes out in the middle of the tongue.

Education w And and differs only in the presence or absence of voice, that is, sounds w And and are pronounced almost identically, only w - deaf, and and - sonorous.

If the child has learned to pronounce the sound correctly w, when adding a voice and it will work out automatically.

Problems with the pronunciation of hissing sounds in children:

First. Absence of hissing sounds in speech or their replacement with the sound t(instead of the word “bear” the child says “mika”; instead of the word “thorn” the child says “type” - replaces it with t).

Possible reasons such distortion of sound- early age or phonemic hearing impairment.

Second. Replacements with f (fifka - bump).

Possible causes of sound distortion: violation of phonemic awareness., too active work lips, shortened sublingual frenulum. This replacement is called labiodental sigmatism.

Third. Replacing the sound sh with the sound s(for example, instead of “went” the child says “sla”). This replacement is called whistling sigmatism.

Possible reasons for sh sound distortion: violation of phonemic awareness. When correcting, it is necessary to teach the child to distinguish between whistling and hissing sounds!

Fourth. Lisp. This is due to the fact that, in contrast to the normal position of the organs of articulation, the tongue is pushed between the upper and lower incisors, forming a flat gap with them, the back is lowered and does not form the back of the scoop. The air stream when you bring your palm to your mouth is weak and scattered.

Possible reasons for sh sound distortion: shortened hyoid ligament, making it difficult to lift the tongue to the palate; high and narrow hard palate. This replacement is called interdental sigmatism.

Fifth. Lateral sigmatism.

In this case, in the words he pronounces, instead of sound w a peculiar squelching sound is heard. One of the corners of the lips is slightly lowered or retracted, there may be a slight shift of the lower jaw to the left or right, the lateral edges of the tongue are also lowered. When you bring your palm to your mouth, the air stream goes to the side (left or right) or comes out along both edges of the tongue, while normally the air stream should go strictly in the middle of the tongue.

Possible causes of sound distortion: weakness of the muscles of one half of the tongue; lateral open bite.

Sixth. Nasal sigmatism.

In this case, the sound w is replaced by snoring (in the nose) or a sound similar to the deep sound x with a nasal connotation. In contrast to normal articulation, the organs of speech occupy a neutral position, the tongue is lowered down and pulled into the depths of the mouth, the back of the tongue is raised up, connecting to the soft palate, the lateral edges are lowered down. The air stream exits through the nasal cavity and not from the mouth.

Cause of sound distortion: is excessive tension on the back of the tongue.

Complex of articulatory gymnastics for developing the correct pronunciation of hissing sounds

For articulatory gymnastics You will need a mirror, cotton wool and... candy!

Each articulatory gymnastics exercise is performed 3-5 times for 5-10 seconds. The whole complex is done 3-5 times a day for 5-6 minutes .

You can watch the exercises of the complex performed in a demonstration by adults in the video of the “Spread your Wings” foundation.

Punish the naughty tongue. Open your mouth slightly, calmly place your tongue on your lower lip and, smacking it with your lips, pronounce the sounds five-five-five... Keep your wide tongue in a calm position, with your mouth open, counting from one to five to ten.

Make your tongue broad. Smile, open your mouth slightly, place the wide front edge of your tongue on your lower lip. Hold it in this position for a count of one to five to ten.

Glue on some candy. Place the wide tip of your tongue on your lower lip. Place a thin piece of toffee on the very edge of your tongue and glue a piece of candy to the roof of your mouth behind your upper teeth.

Fungus. Smile, show your teeth, open your mouth slightly and, pressing your wide tongue with its entire plane to the palate, open your mouth wide. (The tongue will resemble a thin mushroom cap, and the stretched hyoid ligament will resemble its stem.)

Delicious jam. Open your mouth slightly and lick your upper lip with the wide front edge of your tongue, moving your tongue from top to bottom, but not from side to side.

Harmonic. Smile, open your mouth slightly, stick your tongue to the roof of your mouth and, without lowering your tongue, close and open your mouth (just as the bellows of an accordion stretch, so does the hyoid frenulum stretch). The lips are in a smiling position. When repeating the exercise, you should try to open your mouth wider and wider and keep your tongue in the upper position longer.

Focus. Smile, open your mouth slightly, place the wide front edge of your tongue on your upper lip so that its side edges are pressed together and there is a groove in the middle of your tongue, and blow off the cotton wool placed on the tip of your nose. The air should go in the middle of the tongue, then the fleece will fly up.

Cup. After the child learns to spread his tongue and make it wide, has mastered the tasty jam exercise, offer him: “Open your mouth slightly, make a cup out of your tongue, like I did, and place it on the tubercles behind the upper teeth. Now blow on your tongue. Do you hear how the wind rustled? Air passing through a small gap between the front edge of the tongue and the palate produces the sound sh.

You can see more detailed ways of setting the sound Ш.

Songs for sound automation

I decided to make a small addition to Elena’s article. I love music very much, and therefore I always like to sing with children in my classes. Children enjoy repeating words with the desired sound many times in songs. Therefore, I have selected simple songs with the sound Sh for you and your children.

Start with songs in which you only need to pronounce syllables with the sh sound. Next, use songs with words that contain the sound Ш. Let the child finish and sing along these words from the text. And when he already speaks the sound Ш well enough, you can use tongue twisters or complex songs (for example, the song “Horses”).

Song - a pure saying for automating the correct pronunciation of the sound Ш in syllables

Shi-shi-shi-shi, how good the candies are,
Sho-sho, sho-sho, wash your hands well,
Shu-shu, shu-shu, I’ll invite you to the table,
Sha-sha, sha-sha we will eat slowly.

Song "Horses"

In the song we automate correct pronunciation sound Ш in phrases.

Shishkina school for kids: the sound sh and the letter sh

In this interesting lesson at Shishkina school with cheerful characters (my favorite TV channel for children is “My Joy”), the baby will get acquainted with the sound Ш and the letter Ш and play the speech game “Wardrobe” (you need to put clothes and hats that have the sound Ш in the closet) .
