Automation of the Sound R A4

The manual offers a system of exercises for automating the sound R in preschoolers aged 4–7, which transforms the monotonous work of reinforcing the pronunciation of the sound established by the speech therapist into an engaging game. Simultaneously with the automation of the sound, the child's reading skills are improved, fine motor skills are developed, and creative imagination is enhanced. Work with the manual facilitates quicker automation of the sound in spontaneous speech, development of phonemic hearing, improvement of the syllabic structure of words, correction of the lexical-grammatical structure of speech, reinforcement of knowledge about the automated sound and the corresponding letter, and the formation of the skill of sound-letter analysis of syllables and words. Automation is conducted according to the traditional scheme in speech therapy. The effectiveness of the corrective work is ensured by using a number of auxiliary techniques (working with three-dimensional and flat toys, counting sticks, creating game situations during the session). The manual is intended for conducting individual work with the child and is directed at speech therapists, educators of speech therapy groups, and parents of children with speech disorders.
