What is this
Volkova G.A., Shashkina G.R., Ekaterina Zheleznova studied the positive impact of rhythmic movements on speech together with the pronunciation of words and correct breathing in Russia. From their point of view, logorhythmics is a complex system of motor exercises aimed at eliminating speech anomalies in preschoolers and developing motor skills.
V.A. Gilyarovsky and N.A. Vlasova defined what logorhythmics is differently. In the mid-20th century, they studied the causes and methods of correcting logoneuroses. The main attention was paid to the word as a way to solve speech disorders. Rhythm and movement were given a secondary role. But they noted the usefulness of speech therapy rhythms for intellectual and aesthetic development.
In other words, logorhythmics is an activity that includes marching to rhythmic music, walking to a count, and running. Simultaneously with physical activity, the task is to control breathing, pronounce phrases, sing in a certain intonation, loudly or quietly, etc. Classes are held in an entertaining format, in a group or individually.
Types of tasks in logorhythmics
Logorhythmics exercises include various movements, words, songs, and sounds. Combining this results in useful, interesting tasks. Classic types of speech therapy rhythm classes consist of walking, marching, breathing, and dancing exercises.
Walking is a mandatory exercise in every lesson. Rhythmic movements with the pronunciation of words help cope with speech development anomalies in preschoolers. The teacher needs to regularly complicate it: children must learn to march in a circle, in pairs, in threes, and learn a counter step. Walking teaches kids to navigate in space and develops correct posture. Performed to musical accompaniment.
Exercises to strengthen muscle tone help preschoolers cope with their movements and teach them to control muscle tone.
Logorhythmic exercises for the breathing apparatus also strengthen the cardiovascular system. Completing these tasks helps strengthen diaphragmatic breathing and trains the duration of inhalation and exhalation.
Voice development tasks involve pronouncing vowels and consonants while exhaling. Thus, children develop the strength and expressiveness of their voice.
Dance elements in the tasks allow you to develop motor skills and feel the beats. The movements are selected from classical and folk dance, where the baby’s arms and legs can be used.
A variety of speech tasks can be accompanied by music, then the baby must learn to pronounce lines in accordance with the musical beat. This trains memory well and develops expressiveness of speech.
Puzzles
Riddles are motivating when working with little ones, as they allow them to be as interested as possible and motivated to complete the task. It is better to choose riddles with a saying. So, based on the content and rhyme, the baby immediately understands what is being said.
Poems
Using poems, you can create a task with the addition of dance elements. During the performance, children pronounce what they show with their movements. After this, you can talk with the children about the content of the poem. This also includes logarithmic songs.
Short stories
By playing out small stories (fairy tales), children get ready to perform logorhythmic exercises.
Group of visual techniques
The teacher should prepare in advance for conducting classes, select pictures, videos with exercises, as well as toys, on behalf of which the procedure for completing tasks will be explained.
Practical techniques
Similar techniques are used to summarize the results of speech therapy classes. Such techniques include drawings, crafts, and projects. Projects can be completed at home, together with parents of preschoolers.
Gaming techniques
Almost all tasks in logorhythmics are based on the game. Where complex interaction is not provided, you can use games for the little ones that will help them get ready for work.
How to personalize tasks
In order for a preschooler to accurately remember material based on speech therapy rhythms, he must hear, see, and move during classes. By combining several techniques you can get attention from the most restless children.
Goals and objectives
The main goal of speech therapy rhythm for preschoolers is the correction and prevention of speech disorders by improving motor skills. Logorhythmics also has other related goals - health improvement, physical and spiritual education.
A lesson with elements of logorhythmics poses the following tasks for the teacher:
- Breathing development
- Correction of speech disorders
- Training in control of movements, speech, functioning of the organs of articulation and breathing
- Improving coordination
- Development of all types of memory, attention, spatial orientation
- Cultivating a sense of rhythm
- Reinforcing spatial concepts
- Introduction to spiritual values (music)
- Learning to sing and pronounce tongue twisters
- Expanding your horizons
- Increasing vocabulary
What kids can't do without logorhythmics?
Speech is a rather complex process. It involves different mechanisms: breathing, the work of the oral cavity, and the nervous system. The failure of one component causes problems in the entire speech process.
Logorhythmics classes are most needed for children with complex speech disorders. For example, children with a history of aphasia. Aphasia is a violation of already formed speech. With this disease, the perception of speech itself is also impaired. The task of the teacher in this case is to teach the preschooler to recognize speech addressed to him and to respond to it.
Classes are important for children with speech underdevelopment (OND and FFND), in which phonetics and the semantic side of speech suffer. Children with this disease get tired quickly and have difficulty learning material. With the help of logorhythmics, teachers help children overcome psychological barriers and adapt socially.
Speech therapy rhythms have a positive effect on children with stuttering and dysarthria - exercises, including breathing ones, create the necessary psychological mood and motivation.
Complexes for children 2-3 years old
Logorhythmics for kids involves the creation of special sets of exercises and entertaining activities. Games and exercises are performed using the method of imitation.
Animals
- Helps to get acquainted with the world of animals, insects, birds. Classes involve reading poetry, imitating walking movements, and animal sounds.
- Kids can walk like a bear, flap their wings like a swan, a sparrow, walk like a duck, etc.
- Onomatopoeia is required. The teacher asks: “How does a goose scream when it flies?” Pupils should wave their arms and answer: “HA-HA!”
- Pictures of animals and birds are used to help the speech therapist, teacher and parents.
- You can use the story with the bear and the cone:
The clumsy bear walks through the forest, collects cones and puts them in his pocket...
Children walk with their teacher, roar like a bear, and collect pine cones.
Vegetables and fruits
- They expand their knowledge of the world around them, the colors of fruits, and introduce them to their names.
- The following exercises are used for the lesson:
Salt the cabbage. The poem is read:
We cut the cabbage, cut it, We chop the cabbage, chop it...
Children make movements with their hands, pretending to be a knife or a hatchet.
We salt the cabbage, salt it, We press the cabbage, press it.
And we'll grate the carrots.
They depict how they stir, salt, and squeeze chopped vegetables.
- Let's go to the garden
Pictures depicting garden vegetables and garden fruits are used. First, you should have a conversation, tell preschoolers about where vegetables and fruits grow, what color they are, how they smell, etc.
Then a scene of a trip to the garden to collect the harvest is depicted. You can use fruit toys that the children will pick from trees and collect from beds. A competition game is suitable: children are divided into 2 teams, toy fruits are laid out around the room. The teacher asks each team to find as many fruits from one group as possible: for example, vegetables. Children take turns looking for them and bringing them to their basket.

- Singing
Music lessons are used. Children learn breathing exercises. It is not necessary to sing songs; you can hum individual sounds, imitate animals, while doing physical exercises at the same time.
- Outdoor games to music
Logorhythmic exercises are performed with musical accompaniment. Words and movements are learned, attention and memory develop. You can use balls, passing them around to each other in a circle, chairs, toys to hide and quickly find, etc. Logorhythmics tasks for children 3-4 years old can be slightly complicated and used for games with the older, preparatory group.
Preparatory group. Senior preschool age. Children 6-7 years old
