Engaging Speech Therapist Tasks for 3rd-4th Grade Students

The manual presents 122 complexes of various tasks and exercises for students in 3-4 grades 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 corresponding to educational programs in the Russian language and speech therapy correction programs. Considering the age characteristics of children, the author included useful game tasks based on vocabulary, sentences, texts, and illustrative materials; as well as fillwords, scanwords, crosswords, etc. Game exercises, firstly, will be of interest to students, secondly, will increase their level of independence in solving educational tasks, and thirdly, will help them consolidate the material learned during lessons. In addition, the book contains two prospective plans for working with students who have a mixed type of dysgraphia (optical dysgraphia, complicated by underdevelopment of language analysis and synthesis, and acoustic dysgraphia, complicated by underdevelopment of language analysis and synthesis). The manual will be useful for speech therapists in school speech therapy clinics and PPMS centers, elementary school teachers, and parents interested in helping their child learn to read carefully and complete assignments, make fewer mistakes in dictations and when copying.
