Logopedics: Dysgraphia, Dyslexia. Exercises for the Development and Correction of Written Speech

The number of children with difficulties learning to write and such disorders of written speech as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dysorthographia, etc., is increasing year by year. This manual by L.G. Paramonova — a well-known specialist in the field of theory and practice of logopedics, a student and follower of M.I. Khvatsev — is dedicated to solving these problems. It addresses issues of prevention of written speech disorders and recommendations for their elimination in early childhood, as well as in younger school-aged children, for whom speech disorders could not be prevented earlier.

In the book, through specially selected material (exercises, tests, tasks, drawings), methods of forming the prerequisites for written speech are described, namely: auditory functions (sound analysis and synthesis of words), visual-spatial representations, the phonetic principle of writing, fine manual motor skills. 

The manual is intended for educators, speech therapists, defectologists, psychologists, methodologists, and preschool teachers, as well as students and graduate students. Due to its accessible presentation, the book will become an invaluable assistant for parents in preparing children for school, as well as for independent home activities to improve and develop speech in younger school students.
