Goal of this exercise is improving

  • articulation movements of the lips, mouth and tongue

  • storing them as visual information

Children understand that clearly perceptible articulation of the speaker also makes speech visually understandable and that articulation movements also serve to support intelligibility in everyday communication.

Instructions

One child is selected from the group. The teacher gives the child the reading book in which he/she has written down a sentence. The child has time to read the sentence several times. The approach will be frontal, in front of the class, so that the face is clearly visible to all. Articulate particularly strongly so that the text can be read from the lips. The group "Translates" the text.

Variants

Children write the text they understand on a piece of paper and then compare what they have understood.
