The development of speech in children 3-4 years old

Some children begin to talk after a year and at two they can already boast of how clearly they tell the rhymes. But others still do not say very well even to three years. The development of speech occurs in all different ways and in children of 3-4 years can differ significantly.

Norms of speech development for a child 3-4 years

So, as already mentioned, the pace of development of speech in 3-4 years for all are individual, but they should not go far beyond the generally accepted. At this age, the children are already talking with sentences consisting of not two, but five or six words. This is the most important and basic thing, what you should pay attention to is a phrase statement.

If the proposals are monosyllabic, or even completely absent, the time to sound an alarm, since a three- to four-year-old baby has a pronounced delay in speech development (ZRR), which should not be confused with a general developmental delay. If time to take action, turn to a neurologist, speech therapist, defectologist, very soon there will be a positive dynamics in the development of the speech of the child 3-4 years.

From what a child of this age should be able to do, we should distinguish the following:

1. The kid should fully understand the speech of an adult person (father, mother).
2. The stock of words to achieve three or four years is becoming quite large and it contains not only nouns, but also adjectives, verbs and even prepositions and adverbs. A child of 3-4 years constantly speaks, asks the most unusual and tricky questions - that's why it is called "the age of Pochemechek".
3. In addition to speaking, the kid already knows all the basic colors - red, blue, yellow, green, distinguishes a large object from a small one and knows the differences between the circle and the square. But the numbers and letters at this age do not need to know at all, their time will come in 5-6 years.

Features of speech development in children 3-4 years old

Do not expect a perfect pronunciation from a three-year-old, even if you really want to. And let the neighbor Mashenka already talk as an adult, your child develops as laid down by nature, but this does not mean that the process can not be influenced in any way. There are various methods that allow speech to develop more actively.

In addition to the ability to pronounce the child, there is something that he can not afford to be able to do, at least for now:

1. To perfectly constructed grammatical words are still far away and children often confuse, replace or even lose prefix, root or suffix, make the wrong accent. This is permissible for the age of 3-4 years, gradually the words will acquire the correct form. For example, a kid can say: "We draw an owl", "I have a pain in my life," "this dog is good."
2. The three-year-olds often have problems with the pronunciation of sibilants III, III, C, and also other sounds C, 3, C, P. In addition, the syllables may be replaced or some of them may be discarded from the word. For example: weighty (bicycle), Masyna (car), abaca (dog). So distortion, omissions or misuse of these letters is the norm for young children.
3. The child can speak not so distinctly, but understandable in the general context, language not only for relatives, but also for strangers.

Lessons on the development of speech in 3-4 years

In addition to all known finger studies and the development of fine motor skills, which have a positive effect on the development of speech, special exercises are also required to make the tongue more dexterous.

"The Clock"

The child with the tip of the tongue represents a pendulum, alternately taking out one or another corner of the mouth.

"Color the ceiling"

The kid should imagine that his tongue is a painter who paints the ceiling, that is, commits forward-backward movements and from side to side along the palate.

Kotik

Not very beloved by adults, but a very useful game. The child will gladly lick the plate after eating, as cats do. Thus, the small muscles involved in the pronunciation of sounds are trained.

In addition, you should write a list of words with problem sounds. Let them be in the beginning and in the middle of the word. For 10-15 minutes a day, you should say these words to your child, gradually improving pronunciation. Such logopedic exercises should be conducted daily, because only regular training will give a positive result.
