Automation of the Sound S in Game Exercises. Preschool Album.

The manual offers a system of exercises for the automation of the sound S for preschoolers aged 4–7, which transforms the monotonous and repetitive work on reinforcing the pronunciation of the sound established by the speech therapist into an interesting... game. Along with automating the sound, the child's reading skills improve, fine motor skills develop, and creative imagination is nurtured. Working with the manual contributes to faster automation of the sound in spontaneous speech, development of phonemic hearing, improvement of syllabic structure of words, correction of lexical and grammatical structure of speech, reinforcement of knowledge about the automated sound and the corresponding letter, and formation of the skill of sound-letter analysis of syllables and words. Automation is carried out according to the traditional scheme in speech therapy. The effectiveness of corrective work is ensured by using a number of auxiliary techniques (working with three-dimensional and flat toys, counting sticks, creating gaming situations during the lesson). The manual is intended for conducting individual work with children and is addressed to speech therapists, educators of speech therapy groups, and parents of children with speech disorders.
