Learning poems for children 3 years old: tips from a speech therapist
Learning poems for children 3 years old will help develop speech and memory. In addition, learning nursery rhymes is a fun joint activity for parents and children.
Poems as a tool for the development of speech
Learning poetry develops memory and enriches children’s speech. In addition, some verses are specifically aimed at eliminating one or another speech defect. With the help of various intonations, you can fill the baby’s speech with semantic and emotional shades.
It is important that the rhymes that you will learn with your baby are devoid of edifying meaning. They should be funny, interesting, then the child will be happy to get down to business.
Tips from speech therapists on how to learn poetry
Even with a schoolboy, it is not easy to learn a verse, let alone children at 3 years old. Here are some tips to help you with this difficult task.
- Start telling your child rhythmic rhymes like “geese-geese ha-ha-ha” from the cradle. This will be deposited in the child’s subconscious, and with age, he will be able to learn rhymes more easily.
- Practice verses with expression, otherwise this activity will lose its meaning. In kindergarten, children often learn verse in chorus, and it turns out just a mechanical mass rattling. This is fundamentally wrong.
- Select works by the age of the child. The kid will have time to learn serious poems at school, but for now let him learn interesting rhymes for him about animals or birds.
- To stimulate your little one, invite him to learn a verse as a gift for someone, such as dad, grandmother, or Santa Claus.
- Before starting the lesson, read him a verse with expression, you can do it in different voices if there are several characters. This will interest the baby.
- Draw the learned verse with your child. This will fix it in children’s memory.
There are different techniques for learning poetry. The auditory technique is the most popular. She suggests memorizing a piece by repetition for a mother or teacher. For a visual technique, use a few pictures that will reveal the meaning of the verse. The motor technique involves the consolidation of the verse by a motor act.
The main thing is not to turn learning into a drill, otherwise for the child this activity will turn from a game into a punishment.
The techniques created by speech therapists necessarily include learning rhymes for the development of speech and memory. However, if the speech problem is serious, you need to see a specialist.
