Kindergarten teachers have recently noticed a significant deterioration in children's speech. In nursery groups, many do not speak at all, but make separate sounds, although the child’s vocabulary per year should already include many simple words. Older preschoolers do not pronounce most sounds. Units of children clearly and correctly speak the language. Such a tendency in the development of speech of children is connected with the general employment and indifference of parents who have little contact with babies.
According to the stories of children, many evenings after the kindergarten are left to their own devices - they watch cartoons on TV or play games on a computer, tablet or phone of their mother. The only right decision for such "busy" mothers and fathers is to send the child to kindergarten. However, the most favorable time will be lost, because the child needs to develop speech from birth.
Work assistant
If you want your baby to have grammatically correct speech with a clear pronunciation of all sounds, start practicing with him from an early age. A reliable assistant in the work will be a set of "Clever. We speak from the cradle ”, reviews of its use we will consider in our article. Designed kit for children from 0 to 3 years. This does not mean that you need to start classes immediately after the hospital. You need to act thoughtfully, according to the situation, in accordance with the individual characteristics of the child.
Upon purchase, you will receive a box with a lot of demo material filled with reading text. To help young parents, they are given instructions on how to use speech development games, at what age (on average) to offer their attention to the child, and also a diary is provided for recording the successes of the baby, which will be interesting to look through many years later, recalling the child's early childhood.
Program goal
A set of manuals is developed for the development of colloquial speech, phonemic hearing, the ability to pronounce syllables after mom, as well as replenishing the baby's vocabulary. All tasks are developed as a result of joint activities of teachers, psychologists and speech therapists.
The tasks of the set “Good girl. We speak from the cradle” are designed for 53 weeks, built with a gradual complication of the material. Everything is served in an interesting game form, which causes the child's natural interest. All material is arranged in a poetic form; it is easily remembered by both parents and children. Any finger will definitely like funny finger games; over time, he will not only perform the movements necessary in the game, but also repeat the rhyme accompanying them.
Set Composition

Consider the contents of the set in more detail:

Chat room
In the set "Clever. We speak from the cradle" there are many cards with illustrated clean-words. Publishers gave them the name Matter. These are repeated syllables rhyming with a sentence, for example, ha-ha-ha, by a goat on the forehead of a horn. A pure-cut saying encourages the baby to repeat the open syllable several times, which makes it possible to clearly learn to pronounce a consonant sound. A verse supplement increases the child’s interest in speaking.
Frequent pronunciation of such syllables leads not only to better pronunciation of sounds, but also develops the memory and thinking of the child. Looking at the picture, the baby already knows what to say. Some mothers in the reviews about "Clever. We speak from the cradle" wrote that such pure-spoken words can be easily found on the Internet and read to the child. But it’s one thing to just say them a couple of times, and then forget about it. And another thing is to have a whole set of cards with pictures, which a child can take in his hand, consider, and the text of a clean-cut is always before your eyes. Not only mother can play the game, but also close relatives, even older brothers and sisters.
Copycats
These cards are double-sided drawings. On one side is an image of an animal or bird, and on the bottom are written syllables of onomatopoeia to these characters. For example, under the subject image of the dog is written "woof-woof", and under the cuckoo - "ku-ku". On the back side there is a plot picture with a poem about this hero.
Such cards are used for training at the very beginning of work. Some mothers in the reviews write that it’s great to choose pictures yourself, but I have doubts as to whether each parent will deal with this issue or whether it will be a one-time way of learning.
More often there is a need for onomatopoeic sounds when walking, during short-term meetings with a dog, cat, car or bird. Sequential work in this way will not be. Whether it’s the case when a set of cards with a large clear image of a character is constantly in the set. The kid has the opportunity to examine the dog in all details, and not catch a glimpse while she runs past. With constant work, the baby will recognize the character himself and utter the necessary syllables, which develops not only speech, but also memory and thinking.
Nursery rhymes
These are short poems, a small genre of folklore, a small song-verdict. Her reading is accompanied by a game, prompting the baby to perform simple actions. For example, in the well-known “Forty”, the child should bend his fingers, and in “Ladushki” clap his hands.
Reading a nursery rhyme stimulates the child to perform physical exercises, to repeat sounds, develops fine motor skills and raises the mood, causing a smile. Some are accustomed to hygiene, for example, "Vodichka-vodichka, wash my face", others set the baby to a calm mood before bedtime (lullabies).
Nursery posters contain not only text, but also step-by-step pictures of the movements. Such an educational game in "Clever. We speak from the cradle" is very popular with all the guys. According to reviews, these are the most popular cards in the kit.
The rest of the kit consists of books for reading accompanied by a wolf cub. Some pages have opening places, urging the child to take action.
"Clever. We speak from the cradle": reviews
The opinions of parents about the set for the development of speech of babies from birth were divided. Most people think that all the tasks are excellent and really help in the work on setting the right speech. Others note the high cost of the kit, considering it overpriced. They say that if you wish, you can find all the components separately, conduct the same classes without spending a lot of money.
Some parents noted that the laminated pages sometimes peel off, because the baby takes sheets in his mouth. This leads to deformation of the pictures. If you conclude by reading numerous reviews, then most parents still liked the set.
