Engaging Speech Therapist Tasks for Schoolchildren. Grades 2-3

The manual presents 159 sets of diverse tasks for students in grades 2-3 of general education schools who have various types of written speech disorders or "growth errors", that is, difficulties in mastering the rules of the Russian language. The... tasks are given in a sequence that corresponds to educational programs in the Russian language and speech therapy correction programs. Considering the age characteristics of children, the author has included useful game tasks based on vocabulary, sentences, texts, and illustrative material, as well as fill-in-the-blank puzzles, crosswords, etc. Game exercises, firstly, will be interesting for schoolchildren, secondly, will increase their level of independence in solving educational tasks and, thirdly, will help them consolidate the material learned during classes. The book includes long-term planning for working with schoolchildren who have a mixed type of dysgraphia (acoustic, complicated by underdevelopment of language analysis and synthesis; optical, complicated by underdevelopment of language analysis and synthesis). The manual will be useful for speech therapists in school speech therapy offices and PMPC centers, elementary school teachers, and parents interested in ensuring that their child learns to read attentively and complete assignments, making fewer mistakes in dictations and when copying.
