Language is the main organ of speech that helps pronounce sounds and words. Despite being boneless, he still needs to be trained. Indeed, thanks to him, we can talk, and to do this correctly, articulation exercises are necessary. If training is given little time and attention, then an adult and a child cannot communicate with everyone properly. As a result, a violation occurs on a psychological as well as emotional level. A variety of complexes are purchased.
Therefore, it is important to deal with children from an early age. Gymnastics, including articulation exercises, greatly helps in this regard. Two-year-old children begin to talk faster, and older children correct existing deficiencies in their speech.
Adults also need to develop their speech in the process of life. To do this, it is important to read aloud a lot, use different exercises.
Tasks for Speech Development

Speech Development Exercises
Articulation - what is it? At its core, this is the correct operation of the language and vocal cords. So, it is necessary to improve these muscles so that they are not weak. In this regard, classes should be held daily for the tone of the organs involved in the pronunciation of sounds, words. Such classes take a little time. Otherwise, the children will quickly get tired and will not want to do at all. Adults, by virtue of their employment, simply cannot spend much time on their self-improvement. The complexity of the exercises is selected depending on the level at which the person is currently.
Right lessons
The articulation of speech sounds must be performed in a certain sequence. When it comes to children, it is preferable to consider the age of the child. To begin with, he should tell stories and a fairy tale that correspond to the topic of exercises. Then you can show the execution technique itself. Then the baby should try to repeat, while controlling the movement of the organs of speech in front of the mirror. It is important at this moment to observe him in order to immediately correct the existing inaccuracies.
An adult is also required to do exercises in front of a mirror, trying to do everything correctly. Pronounce syllables, sentences, controlling the process.
When can I start practicing?
When it comes to children, training can begin as early as three months. It just makes different sounds. Phonetics helps the baby learn to distinguish the key of the voice. When the child begins to babble, the next stage. Here words, sounds are already pronounced. After the baby has already learned to speak, a more serious articulation of speech sounds begins.
In adults, the program is much more complex and extensive. Here there is a direction not only to the development of speech, but also to its improvement.
To pronounce sounds
A common problem is the pronunciation of the sound “P”. To exclude it, you need to do ten minutes every day. Of course, it is better to start the fight from childhood. Classes will help to become the baby’s tongue flexible, mobile, and also contribute to the easy pronunciation of other sounds. It is important, first of all, to come up with a script so that the child is interested, and then the game is already going on.

2. The next exercise is a smooth transition from the first. Here the child is already in the poultry yard and sees the turkey. One must ask: “How does this bird talk?” "Bl-Bl-Bl" the kid should repeat after the adult.
3. Next comes the exercise, where the tongue became naughty, like a ball. Ask the child to determine where in his mouth is “floor” and “ceiling”. Let him jump with his tongue, like a ball, taking them out in turn.
Pronunciation of sounds in adults
With a trained speech apparatus , good articulation appears. What is pronounced, others are well aware. For clear speech, there are also special exercises.
1. You need to raise your eyebrows, hold on and sharply squint. Then stretch your lips into a tube, and then smile. This helps control facial muscles.
2. The next task is to move the jaw in different directions. Having opened his mouth, it is necessary to begin to move the jaw to the right, and then to the left. Further pronounce different syllables, changing the tone of voice.
3. Then start yawning, pronouncing the sounds “AAX”, “OXX”, “UXX”.
4. It is also necessary to recite aloud verses, short stories and prose. This helps to develop clarity, because of which the articulation of speech will be beautiful and correct.
Verse exercises
Articulation - what does it mean? Most likely, when adults and children speak correctly, make sounds, phonetics is clear and understandable.
