Sound correction [l] at home
Speech disorders occur for various reasons. In the case where the child does not speak only one or two sounds, parents can try to correct the defect themselves.
Classes with a speech therapist will help correct any speech problems
How to teach a child to say the letter L hard
With dyslalia, children have problems only with sound pronunciation. Violations arise due to structural features of the articulatory apparatus or insufficient muscle preparation.
For the sound [l], the upper rise of the tip of the tongue is important. This is difficult to do with a short hyoid frenulum. Therefore, it must first be trimmed by a dentist. Only surgery will solve this problem.
It’s easy to check the ligament: you need to ask the child to touch the upper teeth with the tip of his tongue. Sonoras ([l], [r] and their soft pairs) appear by the age of five and until that time there is nothing to worry about. At three years old, the child’s articulatory apparatus is still developing.
Important! There is no need to rush and demand that children pronounce all sounds from an early age. Otherwise, you can provoke the development of a defect.
At home, you can try to correct the incorrect pronunciation of the sound [l] yourself. This is only allowed in the case of dyslalia. Sometimes this problem can be confused with dysarthria, which requires work with a speech therapist.
With dysarthria, the mobility of the muscles of the articulatory apparatus is impaired. A similar problem is expressed in hypertonicity or hypotonicity. Often the tongue of such a child is bunched up in the mouth or is too relaxed. It will be difficult for your baby to perform fine movements and switch from one position to another.
Correcting incorrect pronunciation may take up to one year. You need to work with your child every day - this will speed up the process. It is necessary to follow the sequence of stages and not rush.
Sound production
The mechanical method is often used in speech therapy. It requires a special probe in the form of a wire frame or a spatula. The child opens his mouth wide, pronounces “YYYYYY” in a drawn-out manner, and at this time the adult lifts his tongue with an instrument.
It is easier to teach a child to pronounce a sound from the interdental position. To do this, the preschooler is asked to bite the tip of the tongue and pronounce the sound [s] (YYYYYYY), and then gradually remove the tongue behind the upper teeth.
You can pronounce [l] in the interdental position immediately with syllables. Gradually we are moving away from this situation. Automation begins only with direct syllables: LA, LO, LY, LE.
Important! You cannot rush to move on to words, otherwise defective pronunciation will become entrenched.
What to do if a child does not speak at 3 years old
Sound Automation
After the correct pronunciation has been worked out in forward and backward syllables, they move on to words. To facilitate perception, visual material is used in the form of pictures and special games. For example, a child is asked to show objects with the sound [l].
Syllables can be pronounced using a probe
It is difficult to teach a preschooler to exercise self-control. Therefore, you need to constantly work with him. It is enough to devote less than half an hour to work and the effect will not be long in coming.
Parents should understand that there is no method that will give quick results. Only constant training will help you consolidate correct pronunciation.
Songs and rhymes
To facilitate the automation process, different lexical material is used. Pure sayings and poetic forms are easier to remember and the child likes to reproduce them.
You can talk to a preschooler about different topics. This will make it easier for him to get used to the correct pronunciation.
Example of poems for sound automation [l]
The main condition for effective classes is the interest of the student. Therefore, everything is carried out in a playful way. The more varied the material, the better for the baby.
Tongue Twisters
The most difficult thing is to introduce sound into independent speech. To facilitate the process, tongue twisters using the sound [L] are used. They contain words that allow you to practice sound pronunciation in different positions.
For example, “There are pins at the Christmas tree”, “Will in the field”, “I went to Luka’s tray, Luka bought onions from the tray”, etc. Gradually, the child is asked to pronounce each tongue twister faster. Much attention is paid to correct pronunciation.
Articulation exercises
Learning to pronounce a sound correctly begins with articulatory gymnastics. Speech therapy exercises for quickly setting sound [l]:
- The wide tongue lies behind the lower teeth, the child pronounces “YYYYYYYY” in a drawn-out manner.
- Lick your upper lip with the tip of your tongue.
- Click your tongue.
- Open your mouth wide and run your tongue along the inside of your teeth.
- Run the tip of your tongue across the roof of your mouth.
The complex is performed every day. In order for a child to learn to pronounce a sound correctly, he must do all the exercises correctly. In this case, it is important to monitor the immobility of the jaw.
Articulation gymnastics is performed strictly in front of a mirror
After all the movements are easy to perform, move on to the next stage - producing a solid sound [l]. To do this, different techniques are used. It is impossible to say in advance which one will suit a particular child.

The feasibility of speech therapy classes
Some parents do not think about how to teach their child to say the letter L. They do not consider the defect to be something serious, but in adult life it will become the basis of complexes and worries.
Important! It is better to correct speech disorders in preschool age, then the process will take a little time.
Speech development of children in the senior group of preschool educational institutions using the example of spring topics
If parents do not know how to correctly teach their child to pronounce the letters L and R, then they should contact a specialist. A speech therapist will be able to correct this problem and develop the desired pronunciation.
How many lessons does it take to produce sound [l]
It is impossible to say with certainty how many lessons will be required to eliminate the defect. Sometimes sound production takes one session, in other situations it will take more than 30-40 meetings.
It all depends on the characteristics of the child, his motivation and the interest of the parents. Learning to pronounce the sound [l] is not so easy, since a preschooler gets used to a certain stereotype. Due to their age, it is still difficult for children to perceive learning activities.
How does an individual sound production lesson work [l]
The speech therapist performs sound production only after the student performs articulatory gymnastics well. The complex is performed strictly in front of a mirror. Afterwards they do breathing exercises and perform speech hearing tasks.
How does an individual lesson on sound automation work [l]
The speech therapist conducts individual lessons on automating the sound [l] only after calling an isolated pronunciation. At such lessons, the specialist develops the lexical and grammatical structure of speech, phonetic and phonemic hearing.
To do this, use different games and simulators. Modern speech therapists use computer games. Parents are required to participate in the process and carry out the specialist’s tasks at home.
Important! The duration of the lesson for preschool age is approximately 25 minutes. Physical minutes are required to switch activities.
Tale about the letter L
Little Fox and Little Frog
In the forest, in a large puddle, there lived a little frog who really loved to sculpt from clay. He crawls out of the puddle, picks up some clay and sits there sculpting. At first he only made flat cakes. Then he started making koloboks and lemons. Then he made an elephant and after that a lion on skis and a horse in a boat.
The animals looked, laughed and affectionately stroked the frog on the back. Only one little fox (was he jealous, or what?) came, broke everything, and even teased:
- Greenest of all is the big-eyed frog!
And this continued until the little fox grew up. One day he came to a puddle, sat down next to the frog, watched for a long time as he sculpted, and said sadly:
- I used to sculpt too, but I just couldn’t do anything... - Nothing! - said the frog. - Don't be upset! But you dig the most cunning holes.
(G. Yudin)

Funny poems about the letter L for children
Sticky I've grown, sticky, thin and flexible - Don't break me! I will bloom as a honey-bearing flower in the summer - Take care of me. At noon, under me You will hide from the heat - Grow me. I will protect you from the rain with leaves - Water me. Together, my dear friend, Let's gain strength - You love me. And when the time comes, you go out into the wide world, don’t forget me! (P. Voronko)
Foxes bark. Outback. Lies in the foliage under the linden tree. A tench in the depths of cold waters swims lazily but easily. The moon shines like brass, The harrier feasts on a frog. A lost bee is flying. The darkness of the night fell over the forest. (V. Lunin)
- Who you are? - We are foxes, friendly sisters. Well, who are you? - We are foxes too! - What, with one paw? - No, still with a hat... (A. Shibaev)
Falling leaves The forest looks like a painted tower. Lilac, gold, crimson, standing like a cheerful, motley wall above a bright clearing. (I. Bunin)
Leaf fall of fallen leaves The conversation is barely audible: - We are from maples... - We are from apple trees... - We are from elms... - We are from cherries... - From aspen... - From bird cherry... - From oak... - From birch... Leaves are falling everywhere: Frost is on the doorstep ! (Yu. Kapotov)
Swallow It's raining, it's raining everywhere. The chicks are happy in the nest: - Mom will sit at home, and won’t fly anywhere! (G. Vieru)

Swallow - Sing to me, swallow, - I ask, And she answered: - I’m in a hurry! She scooped up the clay with her beak and flew under the roof. The whole day is full of worries - She built the house. The days have passed. I ask again, and she answers: “I’m in a hurry!” Minutes are counted! I have little ones. I catch midges, I feed the little ones.— It rains more often when visiting. The old poplar was sad. “Sing to me, swallow,” I ask, And she answers: “I’m in a hurry!” I'm packing my family for the trip. I'll come back in the spring and sing. (V. Bardadym)
Forester So that the pines, lindens, and spruce trees do not get sick and turn green, So that new forests rise into the sky, They are guarded by a friend - the forester, accompanied by the ringing and hubbub of birds. (V. Stepanov)
On a visit to summer We are walking along a forest path, But we ourselves don’t know where. For raspberries? For raspberries! For mushrooms? For mushrooms! The golden sun is shining through the green windows. Maybe we are following the sun? What! Maybe behind the sun! Maybe a squirrel will come across, Maybe a hedgehog is waiting for us somewhere... We are going in a cheerful crowd On a clear morning to visit summer! (V. Viktorov)
White sawdust is flying, flying from under the saw. This carpenter makes windows and floors. (G. Satir)
