Articulatory Tales. Didactic and Methodological Guide

This publication presents a comprehensive program for developing coherent speech and training sound pronunciation in children of younger, middle, and older preschool age. The articulatory tales are written using exercises for articulatory, respiratory, and finger gymnastics. By playing in the tales, children learn to breathe and move correctly. To immerse themselves in the roles, they will be aided by fairy-tale characters cut out of paper or carpet. Coloring books based on the plots of the tales and workshops on creating respiratory trainers will become invaluable support for speech therapists and educators during classes in kindergartens, as well as for caring parents. It is recommended to include articulatory tales in the working program of kindergarten speech therapists to engage children in play and turn the monotonous training of sound pronunciation into an exciting fairy-tale adventure. Speech therapists will find invaluable material in the book - an analysis of each stage of work, templates of the fairy-tale characters and symbols of articulatory exercises.

The guide will be useful for a wide range of readers. The practical material is addressed to both speech therapists and educators, as well as caring parents whose child is just beginning to talk.
