Sound production: Forum: Logoburg. Speech therapy exercises for the sound “l” Speech therapy exercises for the sound “l”

When mastering speech skills, children often distort words. They also experience difficulties in pronouncing individual sounds. The notorious “rrrr” is known to many, but what to do if a child changes the letter “l”? The defect can be easily corrected. Parents should show the child to a speech therapist - the specialist will determine the cause of the defect and determine the method of training that will help eliminate it.

If there are speech disorders, it is better, if possible, to show the child to a specialist: he will determine the degree of deviation and help the family cope with it

What influences the occurrence of a defect?

Most sounds are perfectly mastered by a child by the age of 4-4.5 years. If you notice that your baby is having difficulty pronouncing several letters or one “l” sound, look for the reasons. One of the factors may be a speech defect in an adult who is in constant contact with the baby. The child imitates the speech of mom or dad. Pronunciation problems have also been observed in children growing up in bilingual families. It is difficult for a child to master two languages at once; he gets confused and replaces the sounds of one language with the sounds of another. Among the physiological reasons we note the following:

disorders that arise during the development of speech hearing (the child hears sounds incorrectly);
pathologies of the hearing aid and speech breathing;
changes in the structure of the articular apparatus (in the case of the sound “l” this may be a shortened frenulum).

All anatomical changes are determined by a specialist. Self-diagnoses often lead to incorrect treatment and worsening of the defect.

If your child is diagnosed with a shortened frenulum, there is no need to worry. For a long time, the defect was corrected using an incision, but today a new technique has been developed in which the frenulum is stretched to the required size using special exercises.

Pronunciation options for the distorted sound “l”

When trying to pronounce “l”, the child may replace it with other sounds. There is no definite dependence on the reason that caused the defect - the baby speaks in a way that is easier for him. It might sound like this:

the child misses the letter “l” (shovel – opata);
replaces “l” with “y” (horse - horse);
pronounces the sound “y” instead of the sound “l” (milk - moyoko, spoon - yoshka);
speaks the hard “l” well and replaces the soft letter with another.

Correct articulation

To fix something, you need to know what it looks like right. It's the same with the sounds we make. It is unlikely that you will be able to pronounce the letter “p” without connecting your lips. In order to make the sound “l”, you need to:

rest the tip of the tongue against the base of the upper teeth or into the gap formed between the upper and lower teeth;
when pronouncing the letter, release air strongly along the sides of the tongue;
The edges of the tongue should not come into contact with the upper and lower teeth located on the sides of the jaw.

If the speech therapist does not find any serious problems with the articulation apparatus in your baby, the correct pronunciation of “l” can be easily done at home. A few lessons with your baby are enough to teach him to reproduce sound well. A few special exercises will make your task easier and your child will enjoy it. They will improve the mobility of the muscles of the larynx, tongue and lips.

In order for the child to understand where he is making a mistake, it is necessary to sit him in front of a mirror and practice the correct position of his tongue and lips

Learning to pronounce the sound “l”

Classes at home are comfortable for both the child and the parents. Experts have developed various exercises that you can do with your baby, turning them into a fun game. Children love to make faces, but our exercises also have benefits. Through a fun and exciting activity, we teach the baby and give him the opportunity to train his tongue for the correct pronunciation of “l”. List of exercises:

Smile . Ask your baby to smile widely without opening his lips. Let him hold the smile for 8-10 seconds. Repeat the exercise 7-8 times a day.
Breeze. Open your mouth slightly, insert the tip of your tongue between your lips, and lightly “bite” it, squeezing it with your lips. Leaving your tongue in this position, you need to blow hard for three minutes.
Clattering. The baby should click like a horse, changing the intensity of the sound. Ask the child not to move the lower jaw, but to click only with the tongue and the upper jaw. The first part of the exercise is done with acceleration, in the second the clicking should be quiet, as if the horse is sneaking.
Delicious jam. Invite your child to lick his lips with his tongue as if he had eaten something very tasty. Movements should be wide and circular.
Long tongue . Favorite exercise for kids. Children stick out their tongue to its full length and try to reach their nose or chin.
Tube. Several times a day, ask your child to roll his tongue into a tube.
Long "s". The tip of the tongue is retracted deep into the mouth, the back of the tongue rises to the palate, the child draws out the sound “s”. The exercise is difficult, but it improves the flexibility of the tongue.
Breathing. Accompany your lessons by improving your breathing skills. Let your baby blow bubbles more often and encourage his desire to sing. In summer, the baby can blow away ripe dandelions.
Fine motor skills. Fine motor exercises help stimulate nerve endings. Modeling, drawing, cutting and gluing appliqués have a positive effect on the development of speech skills and enhance the intellectual development of a little person.

It will also be useful to pronounce tongue twisters and combinations of letters in which “l” is adjacent to different vowels.

How to conduct classes correctly?

When starting classes, remember that in front of you is a small child. The best way to teach him anything is through play. Speech therapy exercises carried out under pressure quickly get boring for kids, so you should not force the child to repeat them for a long time. Start with 1-2 times a day for 3-4 repetitions. Use your own example. Sit with your baby near the mirror so that he can see how he is doing. Children love to imitate the actions of adults; use their interest for educational purposes. Accompany every success of your baby with praise, explain to him what you are teaching and why.

In what situations do you need the help of a speech therapist?

Despite the ease of adjusting the sound, it may turn out that practicing at home will not lead to success. The reasons may be different:

Russian is not your family’s native language, and its adult members speak with an accent;
some adults already have speech defects and find it difficult to conduct classes;
Long lessons could not help the baby learn to pronounce the letter “l”.

In such situations, you need to contact a specialist. A speech therapist will help you correct the exercises and suggest other ways to correct them.

You will need a lot of patience and the ability to entice your child. The slightest progress should be noticed and praised. If your child does not succeed in something, do not scold him, so as not to discourage him from learning.

Difficulties in pronouncing the letter “r” become a common problem (more details in the article:). We recommend that you refer to one of our materials that tells you how to deal with this problem. The principle is almost the same: it is necessary to stimulate children so that they speak words with this sound more often. Study the articulation when pronouncing “r”, show it to your baby. Use pictures of animals with “r” in their names in your classes, and learn poetry and tongue twisters with it.

It was autumn. The sun was shining brightly, but it was weakly warm. On Saturday the boys went fishing. They sat down under a bush and cast their fishing rods. How nice it was all around! The shores of the lake are overgrown with reeds. Alder branches descended from the shore into the water. Beyond the lake there was a young aspen tree. The sun was setting. Its rays illuminated the forest and the lake. The fish were biting well. The boys caught a lot of perch and roach.

DEFECTS IN ARTICULATION OF SOUNDS [L] AND [L"]

Disadvantages of articulation of the sound L (hard and soft) are called lambdacism.

There are two main groups of incorrect articulation of these sounds: lambdacism and paralambdacism.

Lambdacism:

Semi-softened [L], the front part of the tongue is raised, the root is lowered.

Complete absence of sound [L] solid (ampa - lamp, obaka - clouds).

Interdental pronunciation - the tip of the tongue protrudes between the teeth.

Labiolabial - absence of contact between the tongue and the teeth.

Nasal - the soft palate is lowered, the root of the tongue rises.

Labiolabial [L].

TO paralambdacism include all replacements of the hard and soft sound [L] with other sounds: v, u, p, d, s.

The sound [L"] is soft, as a rule, does not have an irregular articulatory structure, but is often replaced by the sound (iot). In the ontogenesis of speech, soft [L"] is acquired by the child as one of the first consonants.

PRODUCING SOUNDS [L] AND [L"]

The soft sound [L"] is easy to make if the child has the opportunity to raise the front edge of the tongue to the upper alveoli. It is enough in front of the mirror to invite him to open his mouth wide, lift his tongue up and dance with his tongue “on the tubercles” behind the upper teeth, singing the song la-la- la. We dance and sing (the tongue jumps and sings) la-la-la.

The hard sound [L] can be made using one of the following techniques:

Chew the tip of your tongue with your front teeth. The tongue lies freely between the teeth, its tip is clearly visible, but the lips do not touch it! Without retracting your tongue behind your teeth, “chew” its tip with your front teeth, opening your mouth wide and at the same time pronouncing: in a low voice aaaaa (chanting), you can hear la-la-la.
Easily holding the tip of the tongue between the teeth, invite the child to “get angry at the tongue” and “hum” - Y (for a long time), then “be able to command” to quickly remove (“pull out”) the tip of the tongue “back”.
Exercise: say A; lightly bite the tip of your tongue and hum, get angry: Y (long); quickly put it back. Listen to what happened: AL, AL, AL.
Then fix the resulting sound in the reverse syllables: al, ol, ul, yl.
While pronouncing the sound (for a long time) U-U-U, suggest sticking the tongue between the lips and getting a bilabial [L], which must be promptly transferred to the tooth position, otherwise the defect will become fixed.

Normal installation of the organs of articulation when pronouncing the sound [L].

The tip of the tongue is raised and comes into contact with the front part of the palate (alveoli), and remains motionless when the voice is turned on;
Lips open;
The teeth are open;
The air is exhaled in a moderate stream;
A warm stream of air is felt on the palm of the hand brought to the mouth.
The voice motor is working.

Preparatory exercises for sound [L]:

Exercises for lips and jaws. Open your mouth wide, as when pronouncing the sound “A”. The jaws and lips are tense and motionless. The teeth are open to the width of one and a half fingers. The tongue should lie at the bottom of the mouth. The child should hold this position for some time. Close your mouth. Repeat the exercise.

Exercise for the tongue.

1) Stick your tongue out. Bend the tip and edges of the tongue so that a “cup” (“bucket”) is formed.

The middle part of the tongue lies on the lower lip and does not come into contact with the upper teeth. Relax your tongue and pull it into your mouth. Repeat many times.

2) "Chatterbox". With a tense, curved tip of the tongue, with the voice turned on, move (scrape) across the palate back and forth, either slowly or quickly. The teeth are separated to the width of a finger. The lips are open and do not cover the teeth. The jaws should be motionless, only the tongue works.

Note. The following inaccuracies may occur: the tip of the tongue does not reach the palate, scrapes in space, and the goal of the exercise is not achieved; lips and teeth are close together, so there is no clarity of sound; The exercise is carried out without turning on the voice, so a dull sound is heard, but it should be ringing.

3) As in the “talker” exercise, make the tongue “cup”. Round your lips. Open your teeth to a distance of one and a half fingers. Without changing the position of the tongue, insert it into the mouth and reach the palate with the curved tip at the alveoli. The convex part of the tongue is located between the teeth and gives the tongue a comfortable position. The lips take an oval shape. Repeat the exercise several times.

Note. The tip of the tongue may rest not on the alveoli, but on the middle of the palate, and therefore the convex part of the tongue will be too far from the teeth. This will interfere with the formation of the correct sound [L].

4) Pronouncing a long sound [L].

Make the tongue a “cup” and raise it to the alveoli, as in the previous exercise. Turn on voice. The tongue should be motionless. A long sound [L] is heard. The lips are oval in shape, the teeth are open and, together with the jaw, are motionless. Control with the palm of the hand: a warm air flow is felt.

One of the latest sounds that a child begins to pronounce is “L”. Sometimes his pronunciation can only be established by the age of 6. There are a number of exercises that can help with this. It is important to know the correct technique for performing them so as not to worsen the articulation situation. Making the “L” sound can take a long time, so it’s important to take your time and practice consistently.

The incorrect pronunciation of “L” and “L” has its own name - lambdacism. This term describes not only the incorrect reproduction of sound, but also the complete loss of it. Lambdacism comes in several types:

bilabial: instead of the correct sound, “u” is heard (“uapata” instead of “shovel”);
nasal (the root part of the tongue hits the soft palate, causing a flow of air to rush into the nose, the sound “l” changes to “ng” - instead of the word moon, “nguna” can be heard).
interdental (during speech, the tip of the tongue is placed in the interdental space);
Sometimes the sound is not pronounced at all (instead of the word bow, the child says “uk”).

Another speech therapy term describes a condition when a child replaces the correct “l” sound with others - paralambdacism. More often in practice, the following substitutions of “l” occur:

on G - “stack” instead of “table”, instead of “floors” “pogy”;
on B – instead of “ski” “survive”;
in Yo - instead of the word “spoon”, “hedgehog” is pronounced:
in D - the word “horse” is pronounced “doshad”;
to the soft sound L - “dividing” instead of “doing”.

If you perform the necessary exercises correctly, this can be corrected.

What are the reasons for the incorrect pronunciation of “L”

There are only 3 reasons why a child may not immediately learn to pronounce “L” correctly. Among them:

during a conversation, “L” is not perceived phonemically by the child;
anatomically short hypoglossal ligament;
weakness of the muscle tissue of the tongue.

Sometimes the age of the child is also included as a reason - if the child is very small (2-3 years), his mistakes in pronouncing “L” can be considered the norm, since the sound is formed later - by 4-6 years.

How to position your tongue and lips to pronounce “L” correctly

Pronunciation of “L”, especially if the sound is not yet obtained, requires the correct location of the organs of articulation. You need to pay attention to the following rules:

teeth from the upper and lower rows should not close together - it is better if they are located at a short distance from each other;
in order not to impair breathing, it is important to monitor the sides of the tongue - they should not be adjacent to the far teeth of the upper row;
the tip of the tongue should be tense, it should rest against the upper teeth or the gums above them;
It is important to raise the root part of the tongue;
in order for the passage into the nasal cavity to be closed, it is necessary to raise the upper palate;
vibration needs to be created in the area of the vocal cords.

The position of the lips can be different when pronouncing “L” - it all depends on the letters that follow in the word.

What mistakes can there be when trying to pronounce “L”

There are several common mistakes that occur when trying to pronounce "L". In this case, all methods of sound production become ineffective. Many of the errors are caused by poor lip and tongue placement and are therefore easy to resolve.

The “L” sound may not work due to the following:

the tongue is pulled into the inner part of the mouth, which is why it turns out to pronounce “Y” (instead of the word “crowbar” it turns out “yom”);
the lips are positioned incorrectly, which is why the wrong sounds are heard - for example, the combination “uva” (instead of “shovel” “uvapata”);
a sharp breath is taken at the moment of pronunciation - L changes to F if the cheeks are involved, and to N if the air flow passes through the nose.

Sometimes children replace the sound “L” with “R” - this happens especially often if the last sound has already been mastered, but the first one has not. Then the child can say “ruk” instead of “bow”.

Incorrect lip position

If bilabial lambdacism is present, errors may be associated with incorrect positioning of the lips during pronunciation - for example, if the baby pulls them out too much, instead of the desired sound, the sound is “u” or “v”.

The “Smile” exercise is especially useful here: you need to clench your teeth and spread your lips strongly in a smile. This position should be maintained for as long as possible, and it is better to perform the movement with a count. Sometimes adults even have to hold their lips in this smile manually to avoid pulling them out.

To prevent your baby from straining his lips when performing exercises on “L”, you can do the following tasks:

“Fish”: relax your lips and then pat them together, like aquarium fish.
“Fatigue”: take a deep breath through your nose and exhale through your mouth: your lips should be slightly open and relaxed.
“Horse”: you need to inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. At the same time, the lips should be relaxed so that the air flow causes them to vibrate “prr”.

Preparing for “L” positioning exercises

There are articulatory gymnastics that help to place the “L” and facilitate the process of making the sound later. In general, exercises help increase the mobility of the lips and tongue:

“Hammock” - the tip of the tongue rests on the front incisors of the upper row. It should be bent down so that the shape resembles a hammock sagging down. There is no need to perform any movements here - just hold your tongue in this position for a while. It's better to do a counting exercise.
“Delicious” - you need to make your tongue wide, and then lick your upper lip with it from top to bottom. It is important that the tongue works independently - the lower lip should not move upward, thus moving the tongue. It’s easier to do the exercise this way, but it’s wrong.
“Turkey” - the position of the tongue, as well as the movements performed, coincide with the “Tasty” exercise. In this case, you need to significantly speed up the pace of movements and add to this the pronunciation of the sound “bl-bl-bl” or similar.
“Horse” (helps if it is difficult to hold the tongue suspended by resting it on the front teeth): the tongue should be made wide, and then click it on the palate near the upper front teeth. The lower jaw should not move in any way, and the mouth should be slightly open.
“Swing” - in a wide smile you need to open your mouth slightly. The exercise is performed by counting - for “one” you need to rest the tip of the tongue on the upper teeth from the inside, for “two” - on the lower ones. The exercise is performed alternately.
“Mushroom” (helps to fix the tongue on the palate, that is, in the position from above): the surface of the tongue from above must be rested against the palate so that the tension of the lingual frenulum is felt. There is no need to perform any movements.

Such exercises are effective for any type of lambdaism. Before starting training directly “L”, these exercises must be performed for at least 14 days (sometimes such training is continued for a whole month). After this, you can begin to do speech therapy exercises on the sound that is necessary.

On our website you can find out more details.

Training the sound “L” by imitation

If a child does not pronounce a sound, it will be easier to introduce it, because when replacing a correct sound with an incorrect one, a habit is formed, and it can be much more difficult to correct it.

You can learn to say hard and soft “L” by imitating the correct sound. In this case, you need to show the child how to correctly position the articulatory organs in order to pronounce “L”. They do this in front of a mirror - the speech therapist or parent sits down with the child and, using his own example, shows the correct position of the lips and tongue when pronouncing “L”.

This can be explained in words like this: the tongue needs to be expanded as much as possible, and the tip pressed against the base of the upper front teeth. The middle part of the tongue needs to be bent down, like a hammock, and the root, on the contrary, raised. It is important not to lift the sides of the tongue upward, since otherwise the air flow will not rush in the right direction - to the cheeks (they vibrate if you touch them while pronouncing a sound).

This production of the sound “L” from demonstrating one’s example is effective, but children, due to their small age, cannot always understand and repeat it. Then you can choose simpler tasks - for example, telling your child fairy tales that train the necessary sounds (usually you need to draw out these sounds, for example, if the fairy tale is about steamboats, you can imitate the sounds “LLL” they make).

The child may not immediately learn to pronounce “L” correctly, but after several practices the desired sound should be obtained. For the sound “L”, articulatory gymnastics is carried out both through exercises for the language and through the pronunciation of syllables and words.

When you manage to train “L”, you can try to combine it with vowels and pronounce the syllables - Lo, La, Le and others. If your child has difficulties with such combinations, you can start with the reverse ones - Ol, Al, Ul.

How to make correct pronunciation automatic

Staging at home can be very difficult. This is a long process, so it is better not to overload the child - it is enough to practice for a few minutes 2 times a day (no longer than half an hour). It is better to conduct training in a playful way.

Soft "L"

Even if a child has learned to say the sound “L” itself, as well as syllables with its participation, he can still miss it in words. Then it’s better to start by training the soft sound “L”. Here, too, you should start training with syllables - La, Liu, Li and other similar ones. When the syllables begin to come out, you can try to move on to words:

Le: light;
A: fields;
Le: laziness;
Liu: buttercup;
Lee: fox.

The production of the sound “L” in individual words can be reinforced with pure phrases:

La-la-la - cold earth.
Lu-lu-lu - I’ll light the stove.
Li-li-li - we found mushrooms.

Tongue twisters will also come in handy. For example, to make the sound “L” you can use the following:

Lala ate halva under the blanket.
Tolya is weaving bast shoes at the warm stove.
Lyuba loves buttercups, and Polya loves cartoons.
Lena barely ate; she didn’t want to eat out of laziness.
Valenka's felt boots are too small for the giant.

If in direct type syllables the articulation of the soft “l” sound begins to be obtained, you can move on to reverse ones. The syllables pronounced are: Al, El, Ol, Yal, Ul, etc. After pronouncing them, you can move on to the corresponding words - for example, tulle, poplar, moth, tulip, stool.

Sound combinations can be complicated by adding additional consonants - K, P, F, G, S (Slyu, Slya, Sli, etc.). It is not difficult to find words for making such sounds - plum, cranberry, slush, glucose, gumboil, mica, plus and others).

The following exercises for setting L will help you consolidate the skill:

EL-EL-EL: there are drops in the yard.
OL-OL-OL: the moth flew.
EUL-EUL-EUL: quickly lather your palm.
UL-UL-UL: we will hang tulle.

You can play this game. Connect objects with squares depending on where the letter “l” appears (at the beginning, at the end or in the middle). Talk through each item several times.

At this stage, you still need to monitor the correct position of the tongue in the mouth.

Hard "L"

It is more difficult to learn to pronounce the “L” hard. The technique here is similar to that used when articulating the sound “L”, but much more repetitions may be required.

It’s better to start with hard syllables - La, Lo, Lu, Ly, Le. When you manage to put them, you can move on to the words:

Lo: boat, elbow, forehead;
La: lamp, bench, varnish;
Skis: skis, floors, tables;
Lu: moon, meadow, bow.

To consolidate the result, the following pure tongue twisters and tongue twisters are suitable:

La-la-la - I took out the trash,
Lu-lu-lu - I'll sweep up the ashes,
Lo-lo-lo - the glass burst.

Volodka is in the boat.
Put coal in the corner.
Near London is the lair of a sorcerer.

When pronouncing “L” hard and soft, it is better to avoid words or syllables with “R”. The sounds “L” and “R” are especially difficult for a child, so it is better not to confuse them with each other. required later than "L".

The sound “L” is one of the most complex sounds, which can be formed in some cases only by the age of 6 years. To install it as quickly and efficiently as possible, it is better to consult a speech therapist. You can try to cope at home with the help of exercises.
