How to correctly el or el. Let's learn letters in action!: Letter L

The magical age from two to five flies by quickly, when parents are thrilled by any new word mastered by their home linguist. Baby babble seems richer and richer than classic adult speech. And the parents themselves are not averse to lisping with their child in his bizarre language, wittingly or unwittingly creating situations for the incorrect formation of speech and pronunciation skills.

Writing and pronunciation of the letter and sound L

Caution: physiological dyslalia

But by the age of four you need to be on your guard: the time for correct speech comes, and the baby simply does not know how to pronounce some sounds. And if you leave it to chance, and don’t teach him to speak correctly in time, you can make your child the subject of mockery and ridicule for the rest of his life. And he will probably have problems with spelling. Along with the difficult consonant “R”, many children do not know how to pronounce the letter “L”.

This speech defect is called physiological dyslalia in speech therapy and is quite common among children from four to six years old.


Types of pronunciation disorders

Many people can learn to speak correctly over time. This is how a child can distort the letter "L".

  • The baby does not hear this sound and completely misses it: instead of “ruler” he says “frost”.
  • “L” is replaced by the sound “U” or “V”: “spoon” - “vozhka”; "Larissa" - "Varisa". At the same time, children try to pronounce “L” not with the tip of their tongue, but with their lips
  • Instead of “L” it is pronounced “Y”: “hammer” - “myotok”
  • The child confuses the hard and soft letter “L”.

Before contacting a speech therapist, it is useful for parents to become familiar with the rules of pronunciation of the sound L and teach them to their child. Perhaps after home lessons he will begin to say this sound correctly.

Correct articulation of the L sound


Before you start practicing, you need to practice pronouncing this sound according to all the rules in front of a mirror. It is likely that the child received a speech defect as a result of the incorrect pronunciation of the letter “L” by someone in the family.

Pronunciation of the hard sound L


After strengthening the solid “L” with a series of words, we continue to ensure that the child clearly pronounces all sounds, correct and remind him how to correctly pronounce this particular letter.

Articulation gymnastics

Exercises that increase the mobility of the tongue and lips will help you quickly learn how to correctly pronounce various sounds, and this applies not only to one letter “L”.

L sound articulation profile

Today, researchers have proven that fine motor skills of the hands are directly related to speech, so modeling, finger games, and small toys for a baby are necessary to learn to speak correctly.


Developing hand motor skills helps develop speech

If, after much effort, the child still cannot pronounce the letter “L” correctly, it is necessary to contact a speech therapist. Perhaps it is a malocclusion, a neurological disease, or stress. It is important to remember that the age from 4 to 6 years is the most favorable for learning correct speech; later it will be necessary to eliminate the ingrained skill, and this is more difficult to do.

Speech therapy. Defectology.

Somehow I accidentally noticed that my little son, who is 4 years 9 years old, cannot pronounce the hard letter L (before this there was the opposite problem - he pronounced consonant sounds too hard and there was no softness in them). Because speech therapy (a) you have to wait a long time for your turn (we have already been waiting for 2 months) and (b) it is expensive, I decided to look for information on how to correct this speech defect myself.

Here are the recommendations that I found (source No. 1 and No. 2, added below from source No. 3):
1) bite the tip of your outstretched tongue and, stretching your lips in a very wide smile, pronounce the sound “s-s-s” in this position of the lips, teeth and tongue;
2) smile, while opening your mouth (there should be a gap of about 2 cm between the upper and lower teeth), and hide the tip of your tongue behind the upper incisors and pronounce the sound “s-s-s”;
--> When there is a pure sound “L”, proceed to pronouncing the sound in the syllables “AL-OL-UL-YL”, “LA, LO, LU, LY, LE”, then “ALA, OLO, ULU, YLY, ALO , ULA...", then to words, phrases, tongue twisters.
3) open your mouth wide, place your tongue on your lower lip, and, opening and closing your mouth, pronounce the sounds “la”, “lo”, “lu”, “ly”, while holding the chin with your hand so that it does not move;
4) Exercise “Brushing your teeth”: Move your wide tongue along the upper and lower lips, as if brushing your teeth, from the inside and outside;
5) “Delicious jam”: Lick with a wide tongue from the upper and lower lips;
6) Stick out your tongue and try to reach the tip of your nose;
7) “Painter”: Use the tip of your tongue to move along the upper palate, as if you were painting it
--> After 1-2 weeks of exercise, you need to learn a poem. It is very important to pronounce all sounds clearly and loudly.
"Winter has come to visit us,
The houses became white.
Snow flies here and there.
The kids are going for a walk.
The yard is white.
There was a lot of snow.
You can hear the screams of children,
The sled is rolling down the mountain"
8) the tip of the tongue should be “pressed (pressed)” into the upper two front teeth and try to pronounce “L”;
9) Press the tip of your tongue against your upper incisors. The tongue should touch the teeth. Push your tongue forcefully away from your teeth, while pronouncing “varnish”, “puddle”, “swan”, “chandelier”, “spoon”, “skis”. Note that depending on the vowel sound after the "l", the position of the tongue changes slightly. When pronouncing the word “chandelier,” the tongue no longer rests on the teeth, but on the upper palate. And when pronouncing the word “skis” - at the very edge of the upper incisors. But the principle of pronouncing the sound “l” is the same - the tongue is pushed away from the obstacle with force.
10) If you can’t immediately say a distinct “l,” then you need to force your tongue to work. To do this, do the following exercise:
- when pronouncing the sound “l” in the above words, clamp your tongue with the tips of the upper and lower incisors, as if biting it. This way you will fix your tongue and teach it to the correct position.
11) Repeat the following tongue twisters slowly and clearly:
- “Karl stole corals from Clara, and Clara stole Karl’s clarinet”;
- “Thirty-three ships tacked and tacked, tacked and tacked, tacked and tacked, but did not tack”;
— “Vlas’s daughter rinsed the striped mattresses, rinsed and rinsed, the river became striped.”

Added later:
1) It is necessary to explain the characteristic feature of the articulation of the sound L and reinforce it visually: “When we correctly say the sound L, the tip of the tongue rises to the upper front teeth, presses against the front teeth, pushes the teeth, the lips smile and all the teeth are visible.”



2) We fix it in the “Strongman” exercise: we raise the tip of the tongue to the upper teeth, rest against the upper teeth and push with force with the sound [l-l-l].
3) Exercise “The sound L travels along the paths”: as long as the finger runs along the path, we sing “L-l-l” (you can imagine that we are running along the path to the store for L..opata, L..horse... .)

Tricks, if instead of “L” the child pronounces the sound “V” - read.

Tricks if instead of “L” the child pronounces the sound “L”:
1) We ask the child to repeat speech material with his tongue sticking out strongly, his teeth touching almost the back of his tongue. At the same time, phonemic work is being carried out. Next, the tip of the tongue gradually moves behind the upper teeth.
2) Bite the sharp tip of your tongue on the sound “L” in an automated language.

Tale about the letter L()


The letter L was upset that she was not the best, not the most important.
- The words “mother”, “peace”, “sea” begin with the letter M.
- Starting with the letter S - “sun”, “light”, “happiness”.
- The letter U means “mind”, “luck”, “success”.

The letters M, S, U calmed her down.
- Good words also begin with your letter: lbdi, forest, literature, ray (sunny and warm).
The letter L is cheerful.
- Indeed, many good words begin with my letter: summer, swallow, horse, moon.
-And there is also a good, kind word “affection”. Affection is a manifestation of tenderness, good disposition, and kindness.
And the other letters of the Alphabet said to the letter L:
- Letter L! We love you! After all, one of the most important words - “love” begins with the letter L.

Tale about the letter L()

“I don’t want to sleep, I won’t go to bed,” the girl was capricious.

Mom frowned threateningly, but the letter L quietly whispered the magic word “I love” into her ear.

“I love you, my baby,” the mother said tenderly and hugged her daughter. Mom kissed her, and the girl calmly fell asleep.

“Big and small people need love and affection more than anything in the world,” thought the letter L.

She flew everywhere and gently whispered: “I love, I love, I love,” so that no one would forget to say this magic word.

On the floor, just below the letter "K", lived the letter "L". It was the kindest and cheerful, most affectionate letter of the Alphabet. She was always, always in a good mood, no one ever saw her cry or get upset, no! On the contrary, she always walked around and hummed some melody, like this:

- La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la.

And everyone who met her felt at ease and happy too. After all, the word “love” begins with the letter “L”! And the letter “L” loved everyone, and the other letters reciprocated their love!

One day a saddened letter “O” came to her. She was very offended because of something and cried and sighed:

- Oh, oh, oh, I feel bad, offended, oh!

– Don’t cry, letter “O”, I’ll caress you now and fill you with “love”!

Near the letter “L” there was a pot of liquid in the kitchen cabinet, on which was written: “love.” Everyone knew about this, and if someone felt bad, they went to the letter “L” for help. She gave the sick this drink, “love”, because this is the best medicine, right? And everyone immediately recovered.

And the letter “L,” as usual, opened her closet to get this pot, but alas, the closet was empty! The pot of love was not there!

- Oh, what should I do? – exclaimed the letter “L”. - How can I help the letter “O”?

She ran to the letter “A”, which was the most important and smartest in the Alphabet and knew everything. She told the letter “A” about what happened, and she immediately called all the letters for a meeting and asked:

– Where can I find a pot of love?

They thought about the letters, they thought about it, but they couldn’t come up with anything. Then suddenly the letter “I” said:

– Or maybe we should ask the Earth?

- Near the Earth? - Everyone was surprised.

- Well, yes, near the Earth. She is full of love, she loves everyone! Look, what beautiful flowers there are on her, trees growing, and she loves everyone, feeds them, the birds, the fish, the animals, us, and the kids too.

“Well, okay,” said the letter “A,” “then you, the letter “L” and the letter “I,” go and ask, and I’ll go about my business, I have a lot to do!”

And she dismissed the council and left on business.

And the letter “L” and the letter “I” went down to the very first, lowest floor, where the letter “I” lived, and went out into the garden that she grew. They sat down on the ant grass under the apple tree in the garden and let Mother Earth ask:

- Earth! Earth! Listen to us please! Answer us the question: “Where is the pot of love, where did it go near the letter “L”?

- Oh, my stupid little letters! Look for a pot of love, but there was no love in that pot at all!

- How did this not happen? – our letters were surprised.

- Yes! This love was in the heart of the letter “L” all the time! She just has it big, big and kind! And there's a lot of love there! And when she gave the other letters liquid from the pot, the liquid became saturated with her love and healed the other letters! And they too, they all have love in their hearts.

It’s just that those who feel bad have forgotten about her. They need to help find her again.

- So what should I do now with the letter “O”, which is sitting there and crying? – asked the letter “L”?

- And you take my leaves from raspberries, currants, cherries, chamomile flowers, pick them all, and brew it all into tea! And drink the letter “O”! Just do everything with love, as before. Remember, it is in you, not in that pot!

- Thank you! Thank you! - the letters shouted cheerfully, picked up leaves and ran upstairs to the apartment of the letter “L”, where the offended letter “O” was sitting and crying.

And the letter “L” brewed fragrant tea with love and gave it to the letter “O” with love. And I wished her with all my heart to get well soon and never cry!

And the letter “O” drank this wonderful tea, which was completely saturated with love - the best medicine, and she immediately felt better. She listened to herself: “Oh! I already feel good! My heart is beating inside me, and it is filled with love!”

Listen, is there love in your heart? Knock-knock, knock-knock... Do you feel how it beats, how warm it is in your chest? So there is love there!

Often these days you can hear a disordered pronunciation of the sound L. This disorder is called labmdacism. So, instead of the word “shovel”, they say, for example, “uvapata”, “ropata” and so on. If a child who is three years old talks like this, then sometimes it can even be touching. However, if an adult speaks like this, it is more likely to cause ridicule. To prevent this from happening, you need to consult a speech therapist in a timely manner. And this needs to be done as early as possible.

Speech therapists sometimes believe that incorrect pronunciation of the sound L can be corrected in primary school or senior preschool age. Believe me, such experts are wrong. After all, how correctly a child speaks depends on his mastery of reading, writing and sound-letter analysis of words. And in general, the development of a child as a successful person. And if this problem is still not cured in adults, then you should start taking action, and a start can be made with the help of our tips and recommendations.

What should be the position of the organs of articulation for the correct pronunciation of the sound L?

  • The vocal cords vibrate.
  • The soft palate should be positioned so that it covers the passage into the nasal cavity.
  • The root of the tongue is raised.
  • The sides of your tongue should not touch your upper molars to allow passages for the air you exhale.
  • The tense tip of the tongue should rest against the gums or upper teeth.
  • The lower and upper teeth should not be too far apart from each other.
  • The position of the lips should change and depend on the vowel sounds that come after the sound L.

The most common mistakes when pronouncing the sound L

  • Forced exhalation, as a result of which you can hear a sound that resembles the sound N (air goes through the nose) or the sound F (with the participation of the cheeks).
  • Replacing L with R, for example, “redheads”, not “skis”.
  • The position of the lips is incorrect, the sound combination “uva” is heard, for example, “pashuva”, and not “went”.
  • The tongue is in the depths of the mouth, the sound Y is heard, for example, “yoozhka”, not “spoon”.

Preparing the speech apparatus to pronounce the sound L

  1. 1. To do the exercise called “Smile” you need to do the following: smile so that your lips stretch, and then return to their original state.
  2. 2. “Tube” can be done in two ways. The first is to clench your teeth, pull your lips forward and transform them into a square. Second, imitate the pronunciation of the sound U (only without voice).
  3. 3. “Needle”: Smile and stick your sharp tongue out of your mouth.
  4. 4. “Let’s punish the naughty tongue”: Place a wide tongue on your lower lip. You can make a small hollow. It is important that the tongue is not too tense.
  5. 5. "Turkey": open your mouth slightly, place your tongue on your upper lip, and then make stroking movements from top to bottom. You can add the sound combination “bl-bl-bl”.
  6. 6. "Let's ride a horse": smile, lift your tongue up to the alveoli and “suck.” Then click it, imitating the “clatter of hooves.”
  7. 7. "Let's go on the swings": smile. First, lower the sharp tip of your tongue by the lower teeth, and then lift it by the upper teeth.

Several ways to make the sound L

First way. Open your mouth wide. Make sure your upper and lower teeth are visible. Then stick your wide tongue out between your teeth, pronounce the sound A and immediately press it with your teeth. As a result, you will get a combination of the sounds A and L. As soon as you are able to pronounce the sound L in this position, move your tongue to the correct position - it should be raised up and rest against the gums or teeth.

From the history of the letter -L-

The letter -L- is now called -EL-, but this was not always the case. The ancient name of the letter is PEOPLE. Interesting name, isn't it? The word is Proto-Slavic and comes from the word LYUD meaning PEOPLE.

How did this letter -i- appear at the end? Here's how.

The fact is that previously there was such a form of the word as LYUDIN, that is, man. By the way, the word COMMON still exists today, and it goes back to those distant roots.

In the Kaluga region there is a town with an amazing name - LYUDINOVO. Apparently, this was once the name given to a PULLED place, that is, a place where a lot of people live.

But we will go even further. Let's try to find out what the word PEOPLE means? This word comes from the Indo-European “leudh”, which means “to grow”. Interesting, right? This means that PEOPLE is someone who grows, that is, a person, a person. The Germans, for example, still translate the word Leute as PEOPLE.

THIS is the story of such a familiar, such a familiar letter, but how confused everything is over the centuries!

This letter has always been loved in Rus', because it is with it that such a holy feeling as Love is associated. Ancient people believed that it was LOVE that was at the basis of everything living and that it was it that moved the world.

Among the Slavs, the goddess of Love was called Lelya, and the goddess of family and marriage was Lada.

In all the books that people call holy, it is written that God himself is Love, and that all people need to love each other. And then everyone on earth will live very comfortably.

This probably makes a lot of sense.

Remember the proverb:

In the forest the forest is not level, in the world there are people.

RELATIVE WORDS

We have already named many words formed from the root -LUD-o, but we probably can’t list them all. So let's remember at least a few. Or maybe you can name some yourself?

For example, folk tales often feature a villain who hates people. What is it called? This is... MAN EATING. Remember which fairy tales have cannibals? That's right, in the book by Alexander Volkov “The Wizard of the Emerald City”, in the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm “Toy-toe”, in the fairy tale by Charles Perrault “Puss in Boots”. Tell me which fairy tales with the cannibal you still remember.

But let's return to the same root words. There is also such an outdated word - HUMAN, which used to be the name for the servants' quarters in a manor house.

You know, I want to tell you about another very old and beautiful Russian word. We often use it and don’t even think about when and how it happened.

In addition, in Russia, in the Ryazan region, a river flowed

With that name.

And the favorite bird of Rus' also bears this name. This is SWAN.

Russia is even poetically called the SWAN country. This word, my friend, is Proto-Slavic and once upon a time, a long time ago, it was the name given to a WHITE bird. The fact is that a little later there was a rearrangement of the sounds -el- on -le-. This is a fairly common occurrence in our language. And the word WHITE began to sound like SWAN.

YOU want to know what kind of river flowed in Russia with that name? THIS IS A BULLSHIT. True, now this river does not exist, unfortunately, it was buried and something was built in this place. Sad story, but true. But we have a wonderful word - SWAN and many derivatives from it: SWAN, WINCH, SWAN, SWAN.

Literary names

Nikolai Leskov (1831-1895) is an amazing Russian writer, whose rich, generous prose introduces us to a unique world. The writer shows us a cross-section of Russian life, depicts such depths of the human soul that only a very wise person can know about. You will get acquainted with such works of his as “The Enchanted Wanderer”, “The Beast”, “Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk”, “Peacock” and others, and you will remain his fan for many years.

Mikhail Lermontov (1814-1841) is a poet whose work became the pinnacle of Russian poetry. The poet's whole life is shrouded in mystery. His fate is amazing and tragic. Such are his poems - full of this magic and mystery.

Even if Mikhail Yuryevich had written only one poem, “The Cliff,” he would have remained in Russian literature, taking its rightful place, because the poem is an example of harmony and perfection.

It was Boris Aleksandrovich Larin who was one of the first to prove the kinship of the Russian language and Sanskrit, and moreover, he assigned paramount importance to the Russian language.

If you, my friend, are interested in the history of your native language, turn to the works of Boris Alexandrovich. He knew how to write about complex things simply, and this is a sure sign of great talent.
