Warm-up
For a warm-up, a chosen character tells the child a story that makes them perform simple speech therapy exercises, such as smiling, pouting, rolling the tongue.
Chorus
A catchy chorus before each verse of a song is a vocal warm-up that consists of the sounds in the same combinations as in the verse, which allows the child to properly train them.
Song
The song helps to thoroughly train a sound in all combinations: stressed and unstressed, in reversed and direct syllables. It is composed so that training some sounds does not interfere with training the other ones, for example, the words training the [ʒ] sound will not have any other sibilants.
Please consult a professional speech therapist first to understand which sounds exactly you will need to train.
