Introduction

Speech is a great gift of nature, thanks to which people get ample opportunities to communicate with each other. However, nature gives a person very little time for the appearance and formation of speech - early and preschool age. During this period, favorable conditions are created for the development of speech, the foundation is laid for written forms of speech - reading and writing, and the subsequent speech and language development of the child.

The role of speech development of a child in preschool age cannot be overestimated. Mastering speech restructures the processes of perception, memory, thinking, improves all types of children's activities and the "socialization" of the child. In psychological, linguistic, psycholinguistic studies of children's speech by such scientists as Vygotsky L.S., Zaporozhets A.V., Lisina M.I., Shakhnarovich A.M., Zhukova N.S., Filicheva T.B., it was proved that any violation in the course of speech development is reflected in the activities and behavior of children.

In a modern preschool educational institution, much attention is paid to the development of children's speech. The speech development of older preschoolers is characterized by a rather large and varied vocabulary, which continues to expand, most children correctly pronounce the sounds of their native language, and the stage of assimilation of the grammatical system of the language is mainly completed. The tasks of speech development continue to be the enrichment of the dictionary, the formation of grammatically correct speech, the education of a sound culture of speech, the development of coherent speech. All these tasks are quite successfully implemented in the preschool educational institution. But the ultimate goal is the mastery of speech as a means of communication.

According to research, children of older preschool age achieve a relatively high level of development of coherent speech. The formation of coherent speech allows preschoolers to successfully enter into various forms of communication (business, cognitive, personal). But all this can be implemented due to the organization of effective forms, methods and techniques, due to the use of the most rational teaching aids. However, in order to build correct and effective work, first of all, it is necessary to identify violations and shortcomings in the speech development of the child, which is carried out in the process of diagnostic research. Corrective and preventive work must begin with diagnostics, which is the initial stage of work.

Diagnosis of the speech development of preschoolers involves the selection of tools and methods by which an objective assessment of the speech capabilities of preschool children is possible.

The problems of diagnosing the development of speech in preschool children were considered in the studies of P. Davidovich, O.S. Ushakova, A.I. Maksakova, G.V. Chirkina and others.

Chapter 1. Theoretical and methodological analysis of the problem of the development of coherent speech in preschoolers

1.1. Psychological and pedagogical aspect of the study of coherent speech in preschool children

As you know, the development of speech is most closely connected with the development of consciousness, knowledge of the world around us, and the development of the personality as a whole. The central link with which the teacher can solve a variety of cognitive and creative tasks is figurative means, more precisely, model representations. Proof of this is the long-term research conducted under the direction of L.A. Venger, A.V. Zaporozhets, D.B. Elkonina, N.N. Poddyakova. An effective way to solve the problem of the development of intelligence and speech of a child is the method of modeling. Through modeling, children learn to generalize the essential features of objects, connections and relationships in reality. A person who has ideas about connections and relationships in reality, who owns the means of determining and reproducing these connections and relationships, is needed today by a society in whose consciousness significant changes are taking place. Society is trying to comprehend and rethink reality, which requires certain skills and certain means, including the ability to model reality.

It is advisable to start teaching modeling at preschool age, since, according to L.S. Vygotsky, F.A. Sokhina, O.S. Ushakova, preschool age is the period of the most intensive formation and development of the personality. Developing, the child actively learns the basics of his native language and speech, his speech activity increases. Children use words in a wide variety of meanings, express their thoughts not only in simple, but also in complex sentences: they learn to compare, generalize and begin to understand the meaning of the abstract, abstract meaning of a word.

The assimilation of the abstract meaning of language units, due to the mastery of the logical operations of generalization, comparison, comparison, abstraction, makes it possible to use modeling not only to solve the problems of developing the logical thinking of a preschooler, but also to solve the problems of speech development, especially coherent speech. The degree of development of the problem and the theoretical basis of the study. Peculiarities of children's mastery of language and speech in various aspects: the connection of language and thinking, the connection of language and objective reality, the semantics of language units and the nature of their conditioning - were the subject of study by many researchers (N.I. Zhinkin, A.N. Gvozdev, L. V. Shcherba). At the same time, as the main result in the process of mastering speech, researchers call the mastery of the text. Features of the development of coherent speech were studied by L.S. Vygotsky, S.L. Rubinstein, A.M. Leushina, F.A. Sokhin and other specialists in the field of psychology and methods of speech development.

By definition, S.L. Rubinshtein, a coherent person names such speech that can be understood on the basis of its own subject content. In mastering speech, L.S. Vygotsky, the child goes from part to whole: from a word to a combination of two or three words, then to a simple phrase, and even later, to complex sentences. The final stage is a coherent speech, consisting of a series of detailed sentences. The grammatical connections in a sentence and the connections of sentences in the text are a reflection of the connections and relations that exist in reality. By creating a text, the child models this reality by grammatical means.

The patterns of development of coherent speech of children from the moment of its occurrence are revealed in the studies of A.M. Leushina. She showed that the development of coherent speech goes from mastering situational speech to mastering contextual speech, then the process of improving these forms proceeds in parallel, the formation of coherent speech, the change in its functions depends on the content, conditions, forms of communication of the child with others, is determined by the level of his intellectual development. The formation of coherent speech in preschool children and the factors of its development were also studied by E.A. Flerina, E.I. Radina, E.P. Korotkova, V.I. Loginova, N.M. Krylova, V.V. Gerbovoy, G.M. Lyamina.

Clarify and supplement the methodology of teaching monologue speech research N.G. Smolnikova on the development of the structure of a coherent statement in older preschoolers, research by E.P. Korotkova about the peculiarities of mastering various functional types of texts by preschoolers. Methods and techniques for teaching coherent speech to preschoolers are also studied in a variety of ways: E.A. Smirnova and O.S. Ushakova reveal the possibility of using a series of plot pictures in the development of coherent speech, V.V. Gerbova, L.V. Voroshnina reveals the potential of coherent speech in terms of the development of children's creativity.

But the proposed methods and techniques for the development of coherent speech are more focused on the presentation of factual material for children's stories, intellectual processes that are significant for constructing a text are less reflected in them. Approaches to the study of coherent speech of a preschooler were influenced by studies carried out under the guidance of F.A. Sokhina and O.S. Ushakova (G.A. Kudrina, L.V. Voroshnina, A.A. Zrozhevskaya, N.G. Smolnikova, E.A. Smirnova, L.G. Shadrina). The focus of these studies is the search for criteria for assessing the coherence of speech, and as the main indicator they singled out the ability to structurally build a text and use various methods of connections between phrases and parts of different types of connected statements, to see the structure of the text, its main compositional parts, their relationship and interdependence. .

Thus, the analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature allowed us to discover a contradiction between the characteristics of the speech development of a child of senior preschool age and the theoretical justification for the use of modeling in teaching connected speech to older preschoolers, between the needs of practice in using modeling in the development of connected speech and the lack of pedagogical technologies focused on modeling in the work on the formation of preschoolers' skills in the field of text.

1.2. The specifics of speech development in preschoolers

Every year, life makes ever higher demands not only on adults, but also on children: the amount of knowledge that needs to be passed on to them is steadily growing. In order to help children cope with the complex tasks that await them, you need to take care of the timely and full formation of their speech. This is the basic condition for successful learning. After all, through the medium of speech, the development of abstract thinking takes place, with the help of the word we express our thoughts.

At preschool age, the child's speech acquires new qualitative features. Along with the rapid growth of the vocabulary (from 1000-1200 words for a three-year-old child to 3000-4000 words for an older preschooler), there is a practical mastery of more complex sentence forms, the grammatical structure of the native language.

The development of speech occurs in the process of communication between the child and others, which becomes richer and more diverse at preschool age due to the knowledge accumulated by the child and participation in various collective games and activities. The improvement of speech is inextricably linked with the development of the child's thinking, in particular with the transition from visual-active to reasoning, logical thinking, which begins to take shape at preschool age.

All this encourages the child to master the means of language, to move on to new, more complex forms of verbal utterances. The relationship between the two signal systems is changing, the relationship between the word, on the one hand, and visual images and direct actions, on the other. If the speech of a young child is connected mainly with what he perceives and does at the moment, then the preschooler, in addition to this, begins to understand and himself to talk about more distant things that he can only imagine, only mentally imagine . This happens, for example, when a preschooler listens to a fairy tale or himself describes in a coherent way what he previously observed or learned from the stories of adults, from a book read to him, etc.

It is easy to understand how, under these conditions, the requirements for coherent speech, for the ability to construct sentences grammatically correct and connect them with each other, grow.

The child must learn to use function words correctly - negative particles not, nor, prepositions, conjunctions; he must learn to understand and use the diverse suffixes that change the meaning of the word; he must learn to correctly coordinate the words in the sentence according to gender, number and case.

During the preschool age, with the correct organization of educational work, the child practically learns the basic rules of the grammar of his native language and uses them in his oral speech.
However, the way in which a child learns grammar at preschool age is very peculiar and differs significantly from that followed by schooling.

A preschooler does not memorize grammatical rules, does not memorize their definitions, he does not even know what a union, preposition, gender, case is. He masters all this practically, listening to the speech of adults, himself talking with others in everyday life, in games and classes. As the experience of verbal communication accumulates, the child develops unconscious empirical linguistic generalizations, the so-called sense of language is formed.

The child not only begins to speak correctly himself, but notices the slightest mistake in the speech of others, although he cannot explain why it is impossible to speak like that.

So, a five-year-old child, hearing a two-year-old say: “Petya walked”, corrects him instructively: “I must say - I walked, but I didn’t walk.” But when they ask him why it’s impossible to say that, he answers in bewilderment: “They don’t say that, it’s so wrong.” He is still not sufficiently aware and does not know how to formulate the rules that he already practically uses in his speech.
The physiological basis of the sense of language is a dynamic stereotype that develops at the level of the second signal system under the influence of the experience of verbal communication with others. Such a stereotype is a system of generalized temporal connections between verbal stimuli corresponding to the grammatical features of the language. When a child observes similar language phenomena, for example, the same type of agreement of verbs and adjectives with the gender of a noun, generalization occurs in his brain, a generalization of the corresponding neural connections. As a result, he begins to change and coordinate new words by analogy with how he did it with old words already known to him.

Practical speech generalizations help the child speak correctly. However, due to excessive generalization, insufficient differentiation of grammatical relations, young children often make characteristic mistakes. So, having learned the expression “to knock with a hammer” in the third year of life, the child, by analogy with him, says “eat with a spoon”, “wipe with a cloth”, etc. Only later, as a result of the experience of communicating with people around him, does he begin to differentiate the ending of nouns in the instrumental case considering their gender.

The formation of a sense of language is very important in the development of children's speech. It is an essential condition for the correct construction of oral speech in a preschooler and creates the necessary prerequisites for the conscious assimilation of grammar during the period of schooling.
In the process of speech development, the child must learn not only new words, but also their meanings. The meanings of words, as already indicated, are generalizations of a number of similar objects or phenomena. Therefore, mastering the meaning of a word is a difficult task for a preschooler who still has limited knowledge and insufficient ability to generalize. Sometimes it happens that a child, having learned a word, does not yet understand its real meaning and interprets this word in his own way, in accordance with his limited experience.

Veresaev describes how as a child he was surprised when a man who was called the son of a cook turned out to be a big man with a red mustache. He thought that only a little boy could be a “son”, thus giving this word its own, special meaning.

The teacher must ensure that, while assimilating a new word, the child at the same time correctly understands its meaning. The speech of the child acquires a different character at different stages of preschool childhood. The speech of children of younger preschool age has many more features characteristic of the speech of a child of early age.

To a large extent, the direct connection of children's statements with perception and action is preserved. Toddlers talk mainly about what they perceive and do at the moment. So, when listening to a story from a picture book, they are more guided by what is drawn in the picture than by the text they listened to. Younger preschoolers usually express their thoughts in short sentences, without connecting them with each other. Answering the teacher's questions, children find it difficult to build a coherent story.

The pronunciation of the younger preschooler is still imperfect. Many three-year-olds still do not pronounce the sounds “r”, “l”, “w”, “g” or replace them with others (for example, they say “Zenya” instead of “Zhenya”, “bow” instead of “hand”). Syllables in words are sometimes replaced or moved (for example, "khasir" instead of "sugar"). This is partly due to the inability to control one's vocal apparatus, and partly to the insufficient development of speech hearing.

Under the influence of properly organized educational work, everyday communication with adults, games and special classes, children move on to more advanced forms of speech construction and master the correct sound pronunciation.

The speech of children of middle preschool age becomes richer in content and acquires a more complex structure than that of toddlers. The vocabulary of the child is greatly increased. Children's conversations often no longer refer to given, directly perceived circumstances, but to what was perceived earlier or was told by parents and educators and other children. This expansion of verbal communication leads to a change in the structure of children's speech. Along with the names of objects and actions, children begin to widely use various definitions.
The child connects sentences and subordinates them to each other in accordance with the nature of the phenomena described. This change in the structure of speech is closely connected with the appearance of reasoning, logical thinking. At the same time, in the speech of a child of middle preschool age, along with new features, features of the previous stage of development are preserved. Despite the fact that his speech acquires greater coherence than that of a baby, nevertheless, there are often substitutions for missing nouns in it with indications like that, that, there, etc.

In sound pronunciation, a child of middle preschool age achieves great success. Only sometimes, usually as a result of an insufficiently attentive pedagogical approach to the child, five-year-old children encounter errors in the pronunciation of certain sounds (most often “p” and “sh”).
The teacher's conversations with children, listening to fairy tales and other works of children's literature, children's conversations in the process of collective games and activities are a necessary condition for the development of children's speech at this age.
In children of older preschool age, further development of speech occurs. The child's vocabulary is significantly increased (up to 3000-4000 words). Complicating in connection with new types of training sessions, collective games, labor assignments, communication with other people leads to the enrichment of the child's vocabulary and mastery of new grammatical forms of the native language.

At the same time, the enrichment of the child's experience, the development of his thinking affects the change in the structure of his speech, which in turn encourages him to master new, more complex forms of language.

In the phrase, main and subordinate clauses are distinguished. Words expressing causal (because), target (in order to), investigative (if) connections between phenomena are widely used by a preschooler. In relation to the child's own speech, new moments appear. Older preschoolers are not only guided in the practice of verbal communication by a sense of language, but also make the first attempts to realize the linguistic generalizations underlying it.

The child tries to justify why it is necessary to say this and not otherwise, why this is said correctly, but this is wrong. So, a six-year-old child declares: “You can’t say: the girl was sitting on a chair; it’s about a boy or an uncle that’s what they say.” Or: “You can’t say: tomorrow I went to the forest; I went when it was about yesterday, but I’ll go here, I must say. ”

With the correct organization of educational work, when conducting special classes in their native language, older preschoolers not only learn to coherently express their thoughts, but also begin to analyze speech, to realize its features. This ability to consciously relate to one's own speech, to make it the subject of one's analysis, is of great importance for preparing children for schooling, for subsequent literacy.

Further development of children's speech takes place already in the conditions of educational activity. If at earlier stages of development the child mastered the language mainly practically, communicating with others in everyday life, in games and activities, now he is faced with the special task of mastering all the richness of his native language and learning to consciously use the basic rules of grammar.

1.3. Methods of work on the development of speech in preschoolers

An analysis of the pedagogical literature revealed conflicting points of view on teaching coherent speech to preschool children, its content and the sequence of introducing different types of coherent statements. Most authors point out that learning should begin with retelling and description (A.M. Borodich, V.V. Gerbova, A.A. Zrozhevskaya, E.P. Korotkova, etc.). A number of studies have proven the possibility of teaching children aged 4-5 years of narrative speech (T.I. Grizik, G.M. Lyamina, L.G. Shadrina, O.S. Ushakova). They form such signs of text coherence as the completeness of the topic, integration between sentences and parts of the story. But the methodology for the development of coherent speech in children of the fifth or sixth year of life has not been sufficiently developed.

To determine the place of work for the development of coherent speech of preschoolers in the pedagogical process, it is important to develop an adequate methodology for studying the coherence of children's speech, to identify the most effective methodological methods for forming the coherence of children's statements.

Studying the state of work in preschool institutions, it was revealed that the practice reflects the same picture that is found in the analysis of scientific and methodological literature.

In most preschool institutions, they work according to the methodological recommendations of V.V. Armorial or O.S. Ushakova.

Analysis of plans for educational work in preschool institutions using the methodology of V.V. Armorial, shows that classes on the development of coherent speech are planned 2 times a month. This is 24% of the total number of classes. During the academic year, there are 7 lessons on retelling fairy tales and stories and 11 lessons on teaching storytelling (description of toys, pictures), i.e. - 9.4% is occupied by retelling and 14.6% by storytelling from pictures and toys (writing descriptions).

Analysis of plans in preschool institutions using the methodology of O.S. Ushakova, showed that classes on the development of coherent speech are planned 3 times a month. During the academic year, 4 lessons are held on retelling fairy tales and stories and 24 lessons on teaching storytelling (description of toys, objects, paintings; compiling plot stories based on a set of toys).

This is 87.5% of the total volume of classes. Of these, 12.5% ​​are retelling classes and 75% are storytelling from pictures and toys (compiling descriptions - 65.6%; compiling plot stories using a set of toys - 9.4%).

Reflected in the plans and individual work with children, which contributes to the formation of skills in writing a description, retelling a literary sample. So, on average, didactic games and exercises are planned 2 times a week to consolidate the skills acquired in the lesson. Once or twice a month, tasks for compiling narrative stories are included in other speech development classes (as part of the lesson).

As the analysis of the documentation showed, in those preschool institutions where they work according to the methodology of O.S. Ushakova, much attention is paid to teaching storytelling. Already in the middle group (second half of the year), they begin to form the ability to make a coherent narrative statement, introduce a series of plot pictures into work with children. The proportion of storytelling classes during the year is much higher than in preschool institutions using the methodology of V.V. Gerbovaya, whose methodological recommendations only provide for the formation of descriptive skills in children of the fifth year of life. In teaching storytelling, series of plot pictures are not used at all, individual plot pictures are used extremely rarely. The sources of the utterance are a toy, an object, less often a picture, and that speech pattern of an adult that accompanies the display and examination of visual material. The visibility offered by this technique is monotonous.

Traditionally, the following methods are used in the development of coherent speech in preschool institutions: a speech pattern, questions, explanations, a motivated assessment of the actions and responses of children, dramatization games, etc.

Thus, the analysis of the state of practice convinces of the relevance of developing a methodology for teaching children coherent speech.

The search for a methodology for studying coherent speech can be determined by the features of the latter. The nature of coherent speech largely depends on the tasks and conditions of communication. It was important to select such situations in which the development, coherence, and compositional completeness of children's statements were ensured to a greater extent.

The psychological and pedagogical literature describes the most typical methods for studying the coherent speech of preschoolers. Children are offered tasks at the reproductive (retelling of a literary sample) and productive (creation of an independent coherent statement) levels. Tasks of a productive nature, as a rule, are offered based on a picture or a toy.

Retelling is widely used in the formation of coherent speech of preschoolers. At the same time, some authors believe that retelling, due to low communicativeness, does not allow revealing the features of a coherent statement (A.G. Arushanova).

A number of studies (Z.M. Istomina, T.A. Repina) proved that the simultaneous use of a literary sample and illustrations significantly improves the quality of children's retellings. Pictures have a positive effect on the understanding of the text and allow the child to express it more accurately, more meaningfully, more consistently.

The scientific and methodological literature contains conflicting data on the possibility of using plot pictures in teaching storytelling to children of the fifth year of life. So, a number of teachers believe that when teaching storytelling, children of this age need to be offered only one plot picture, since storytelling based on a series of plot pictures is not available to them (A.M. Borodich, V.V. Gerbova, E.P. Korotkova, etc.) . In the studies of O.S. Ushakova, as well as the works carried out under her supervision, it is proved that already in the middle group of the kindergarten it is possible to use a series of plot pictures when teaching storytelling, but their number should not exceed three.

When teaching storytelling to children of the fifth year of life, one toy is more often used. On the other hand, there is evidence that it is possible to use toys and play material, since in stories about games and play actions, the coherence and contextuality of children's statements increase (G.M. Lyamina). A number of studies prove that at the beginning of teaching storytelling, one should be given ready-made game situations that an adult plays out (M.M. Konina, L.A. Penevskaya, E.A. Flerina).

Considering the presence of different points of view on the issues of studying and developing coherent speech of children, in cross-sectional experiments, it is necessary to check the features of coherent statements of children, depending on the situation of communication.

2.1. Features of psychodiagnostics of preschool children

It should be emphasized that the study of the characteristics of the development of preschool children differs significantly from the study of adults and older children, both in the methods used and in the way the work is carried out. The main principle adhered to by the developers of diagnostic methods is the principle of the naturalness of the child's behavior, which provides for minimal interference by the experimenter in the usual daily forms of children's behavior. Often, to implement this principle, various methods are used to encourage the child to play, during which different age-related features of the development of children are manifested.

Very popular are the various development scales children, providing for analytical standardized observations of the child and the subsequent comparison of the data obtained with age-related developmental norms. The application of these developmental scales requires special experience and should be carried out by specialist psychologists. But since the psychologist has much less opportunity to observe the child in a natural setting than the educator, it is advisable to organize the cooperation of the psychologist with the educator - by cross-comparing the psychologist's own assessments and observations with the assessments and observations of the educator

Since preschoolers are already mastering speech, responding to the personality of the experimenter, it becomes possible to communicate with the child and, in the course of it, carry out developmental diagnostics. However, the speech of a preschooler is still in its infancy, and sometimes this limits the possibilities of using verbal tests, so researchers prefer non-verbal methods.

The most important for diagnosing the development of young children is its motor and cognitive spheres, speech and social behavior (A. Anastasi, 1982, J. Shvantsara, 1978, etc.).

When conducting and evaluating the results of diagnosing the development of a preschooler, one should take into account the characteristics of personal development at this age. Lack of motivation, interest in tasks can bring all the efforts of the experimenter to naught, since the child will not accept them. This feature of preschoolers was pointed out, for example, by A. V. Zaporozhets, who wrote: ... even when a child accepts a cognitive task and tries to solve it, those practical or play moments that encourage him to act in a certain way transform the task and give it a peculiar character direction of the child's thinking. This point must be taken into account in order to correctly assess the capabilities of children's intelligence. And further: ... the differences in solving similar intellectual problems of younger and older preschoolers are determined not only by the level of development of intellectual operations, but also by the peculiarity of motivation. If younger children are prompted to solve a practical problem by the desire to get a picture, a toy, etc., then for older children the motives of competition, the desire to show intelligence to the experimenter, etc., become decisive.

These features should be taken into account both when conducting tests and when interpreting the results.

Consideration should also be given to the time required for the test day. For preschoolers, a period of time for testing within an hour is recommended, taking into account the establishment of contact with the child (J. Shvantsara, 1978).

When conducting surveys of preschoolers making contact between the subject and the experimenter turns into a special task, the successful solution of which will depend on the reliability of the data obtained. As a rule, an experienced psychologist, in order to establish such contact, conducts an examination in an environment familiar to the child in the presence of a mother or some close relative, educator, etc. It is necessary to create conditions under which the child will not experience negative emotions from communicating with a stranger (fear , uncertainty, etc.), for which work with the child can be started with a game and only gradually, imperceptibly for the child, include the tasks required by the test.

Of particular importance is the implementation of constant monitoring of the child's behavior during the examination - his functional and emotional state, manifestations of interest or indifference to the proposed activity, etc. These observations can provide valuable material for judging the level of development of the child, the formation of his cognitive and motivational spheres. . A lot in the behavior of the child can be explained by the explanations of the mother, the educator, so it is important to organize the cooperation of all three parties in the process of interpreting the results of the examination of the child.

All diagnostic methods developed for preschool children should be presented individually or to small groups of children attending kindergarten and having experience in teamwork. As a rule, tests for preschoolers are presented orally or in the form of tests for practical actions. Sometimes a pencil and paper can be used to complete tasks (subject to simple actions with them).

Actually test methods for preschoolers have been developed much less than for older children and adults. Consider the most famous and authoritative of them.

The available methods of J. Schwanzar proposes to divide into two groups: the first includes methods aimed at diagnosing general behavior, and the second includes methods that determine its individual aspects, for example, the development of intelligence, motor skills, etc.

The first group includes A. Gesell's technique. A. Gesell and colleagues developed development tables that received his name. They cover four main areas of behavior: motor, speech, personal-social and adaptive. In general, Gesell tables provide a standardized procedure for monitoring and evaluating the progress of children from 4 weeks to 6 years of age. Children's play activity is observed, their reactions to toys and other objects, facial expressions, etc. are recorded. These data are supplemented by information received from the mother of the child. As criteria for evaluating the data obtained, Gesell provides a detailed verbal description of the typical behavior of children of different ages and special drawings, which facilitates the analysis of the survey results.

When studying preschoolers, a variety of aspects of development, from motor to personal, can be diagnosed. For this, the second group of methods is used (according to the classification of J. Shvantsara).

More recently created is the Adaptive Behavior Scale (ABC), developed by the Committee of the American Association for the Study of Mental Disability. It can be used to study emotional or any other mental disorders. Like the Vineland scale of social maturity, it is based on observations of the behavior of the subjects, and its forms can be filled out not only by a psychologist, but also by a teacher, parents, doctors - everyone with whom the child comes into contact.

To study some of the abilities of children from 2.5 to 8.5 years, the McCarthy scale has been developed. It includes 18 tests grouped into six overlapping scales: verbal, perceptual action, quantitative, general cognitive abilities, memory and motor.

To assess the level of mental development of preschoolers, the Stanford-Binet scale, the Wechsler test and the Rahnen test are most often used (they are described in sufficient detail in 3.4 and 3.5). Piaget's methods can also be used for the same purposes. They are scales of order, since development is supposed to go through a series of successive stages that can be qualitatively described. Piaget's scales are intended mainly for studying the cognitive rather than the personal sphere of the child and have not yet been brought to the level of tests in terms of formal parameters. Piaget's followers are working on the creation of a diagnostic complex based on his theory and designed to diagnose the developmental psychology of children of different ages.

J. Piaget proposes a method for the clinical study of the features of the formation of a child's cognitive sphere, introducing the concept of a sensorimotor scheme, that is, a class of motor tasks that contribute to the achievement of a goal when performing actions with objects.

To diagnose motor development, the motor test by N. I. Ozeretsky (N. I. Ozeretsky, 1928), developed in 1923, is often used. It is intended for persons aged 4 to 16 years. Tasks are arranged by age levels. The technique was intended to study different types of motor movements. Simple materials such as paper, threads, needles, reels, balls, etc. are used as stimulus material.

Evaluating the scales discussed above, one cannot but note the lack of a rigorous theoretical justification for the use of each of them for diagnosing the characteristics of the mental and personal development of preschoolers. The exception is Piaget's methods, which are based on the concept of development he created. Unlike foreign ones, domestic researchers strive to build a diagnostic system based on the provisions developed in developmental and educational psychology about the features, stages and driving forces of mental and personal development (works by L.I. Bozhovich, L.S. Vygotsky, A.V. Zaporozhets, D.B. Elkonin and others). So, for example, the most developed from this point of view is a set of methods for diagnosing the mental development of preschoolers, created under the guidance of L.A. Wenger.

Special diagnostic techniques were developed to study the features of figurative and logical thinking.

So, for example, the child was asked to trace in the drawing the path to the house, which was depicted with. with tangled lines. An analysis of the child's actions made it possible to determine the level of formed figurative thinking.

To diagnose logical thinking, a table with geometric figures arranged in a certain sequence was proposed. Some squares were empty, and they had to be filled in, revealing the patterns of the logical series.

A number of authors are attempting to create a system of diagnostic examination of preschool children based on the generalization of existing diagnostic methods and their own developments, which would not only allow to identify different levels of development, but would also provide longitudinal observations of the development of children.

Along with the methods described above and designed to study various aspects of the development of preschoolers, a lot of them have been developed to diagnose the readiness of children to study at school.

As a result of a survey of preschoolers, children are identified who need correctional and developmental work, which allows them to form the necessary level of readiness for school. During the survey, children with advanced development are also identified, in respect of which the psychologist should formulate recommendations for an individual approach.

2.2. Diagnosis of the level of development of coherent speech in children of senior preschool age

Systematic control over how children learn speech material is important to establish continuity between kindergarten and school. By the time they enter school, children should have approximately the same level of speech development.

Knowledge of the criteria and methods for identifying the state of speech development of children will help the leaders of preschool institutions to control the activities of educators, to determine the quality of their work.

An individual comprehensive examination contributes to the most accurate determination of the level of development of the child's speech, but it takes a lot of time. In order to reduce the time of verification, it is possible, in addition to a sample survey, to combine a number of tasks, simultaneously revealing the state of formation of different sections of speech. So, establishing the child's knowledge of fiction and inviting him to tell a fairy tale (or read a poem), the tester simultaneously fixes sound pronunciation, diction, and the ability to use the vocal apparatus; when a child compiles stories based on a picture (identifying the development of coherent speech), the inspector notes which sentences are used (identifying the formation of the syntactic side of speech), which lexical means (identifying vocabulary), and so on.

Some methodological techniques and tasks can be used to test the assimilation of the material simultaneously by a whole group or subgroup of children, for example, knowledge of the genre.

When identifying the state of speech development of children, a special place should be given to special observations that are carried out in the process of educational work in everyday life: a teacher or inspector not only observes for a certain time, but also records the speech of children, noting both its shortcomings and positive shifts, as well as difficulties experienced by children in mastering the program material.

Speech examination can also be carried out at control and testing sessions, when the teacher or inspector sets the task of finding out how the children have mastered this or that speech material.

In the presence of serious deviations in the speech development of children, conversations are held with parents, during which possible reasons for the child's lagging behind are identified.

The most important condition for the development of the speech culture of preschool children is the work on the word, which is considered in conjunction with the solution of other speech tasks. Fluency in a word, understanding its meaning, accuracy of word usage are necessary conditions for mastering the grammatical structure of the language, the sound side of speech, as well as developing the ability to independently build a coherent statement.

Recent studies have proven the need to single out a special section in the methodology of speech work, including, firstly, familiarizing children with the polysemy of words, with synonymous and antonymic relations between them; secondly, the formation of the ability to accurately use the lexical means of the native language. The disclosure of the semantic richness of polysemantic words contributes to the expansion of the vocabulary, not increasing it quantitatively, but by understanding other meanings of already known words.

A feature of work on the enrichment and activation of the dictionary, which occupies a significant place in speech work, is its connection with all types of activities of preschoolers. Knowing the world around them, they learn the exact names of objects and phenomena, their qualities and relationships, deepen and clarify knowledge and ideas. Thus, by forming in children the skills, abilities and knowledge necessary to perform physical education exercises, fine arts, design, etc., the teacher expands their vocabulary, teaches them to understand and use words that denote objects, actions, movements used in this activity. Learning the world around, the child learns the verbal designations of objects and phenomena of reality, their properties, connections and relationships.

The practice of verbal communication confronts children with words of different meanings, with synonyms, antonyms. In preschool children, orientation to semantic content is very developed. First of all, the speaker is guided by semantics, choosing this or that word when constructing an utterance; it is semantics that the hearer seeks to comprehend. Therefore, the search for a word is based on its meaning, and the correctness of the statement depends on how accurately the chosen word conveys the meaning.

To identify the understanding of the meaning (meaning) of the word by older preschoolers, they are offered various tasks. First, their characteristics are given (which reveals this or that question, in what context it is presented), then the features of the performance of each task and the options for their assessment are revealed.

In the process of diagnosing one of the sides of speech, an analysis of the results obtained is carried out:

The pronunciation side of speech.

The following was noted: the poem was read loudly enough;

Speed ​​(tempo) of speech: moderate;

Intonational expressiveness: the poem is read expressively.

In the process of reading the poem and talking with the child, it was established:

Clarity (diction) of the child's speech: a clear ability to comply with the literary norms of pronunciation (orthoepy): no deviations;

Sound pronunciation - the child pronounces sounds quite well.

Deviations in the speech development of older preschoolers manifest themselves at various levels:

phonetic;

phonemic;

Lexico-grammatical (primary violation of morphemic and morphological analysis, i.e., difficulties in distinguishing parts of a word and parts of speech, violation of inflection and form change, violation of a coherent statement, planning, speech prediction).

Communication disorders.

To determine the strategy of correctional speech work, the educator first of all observes the children in the process of their natural communication, speech accompaniment of productive activities, classes, games. Observation makes it possible to get a preliminary idea of ​​the capabilities of each child in the field of coherent utterance, about initiative and the ability to start a conversation and maintain a dialogue, about the composition of phrases, the correct composition of simple and complex sentences, about a correctly executed syllabic structure, about lexical stock, about grammatical design phrases, about the phonetic content of words, about the features of expressive means and tempo-rhythmic coloring.

It is important that the data obtained as a result of observations are compared with information about the child's speech development outside the kindergarten. To this end, the educator can invite the family and friends of the child to answer a number of questions.

What is the child's relationship with other family members? Who does he prefer? Is he experiencing a lack of attention to him, a negative attitude, hyper-custody? Does the child have a negative relationship with any of the family members? Who is in charge of raising the child?

Does he interact easily with other children and adults? Is it selective in communication? What, according to parents, his relationship with other children? Is he a leader?

Does he use speech means in communication - exclamations, intonation, individual sounds, chains of sounds and syllables, words, phrases? Are there lines in the dialogue?

What books and at what age do they read to a child? How long can he listen to the reading? Is he more interested in illustrations, content, or both? Do you have favorite films, records?

Does the child like to draw, sculpt, play with the designer at home? Does this activity accompany speech means? Does he play on his own? Does he turn to adults for help in difficult situations?

What are his emotional manifestations: adequate, restrained, indifferent, stormy? How does the child react to the new toy? Are emotional manifestations accompanied by speech means?

What is the nature of the child - benevolent, obedient, affectionate; hot-tempered, capricious, aggressive? How does he behave at home?

Does he have the opportunity and need for psychological relaxation? How does this manifest itself: screams, retires, calms down, “communicates” with toys, trying to reproduce the situations that excited him, listens to music, draws, designs?

Does the child have animals, birds, plants? How does he treat them? How does he communicate and play with them?

How does the family spend leisure time, weekends, holidays?

The answers of the parents complement the teacher's idea of ​​the child, about the features of his speech development.

Observing the behavior of the child, the adult makes an idea of ​​how he talks; what vocabulary is used; whether elements of autonomous, childish speech, characteristic of an early age, remained in his vocabulary.

The educator, observing the children in natural conditions, during classes, on a walk, when performing routine moments, has the opportunity to draw up a fairly objective picture of the features of the child’s speech activity and, in difficult cases, recommend contacting a speech therapist. The teacher conducts the refinement of the main indicators of speech development individually.

In a group, in the process of collective communication, the educator, first of all, should note whether the child is proactive in verbal communication, whether he can ask questions; whether there are interrogative words “what, what, what, where” in his vocabulary. And also he should pay special attention to the presence / absence of question words “why, why”, showing the formation of an understanding of cause-and-effect and target relationships.

Indicative for speech development is the ability to correctly ask a question about the content of a conversation, a fairy tale; a question addressed to someone selectively; a question that changes the course of the conversation. It is important to pay attention to whether the degree of speech activity depends on who and where communicates with the child.

It must be remembered: in the course of a conversation, a child without deviations in speech development is able to maintain communication with replicas, voice modulation, intonation, facial expressions, gestures and other non-verbal means.

It is also important to observe the child during the role-playing game, because this allows you to identify a number of features. Children with deviations in the development of speech cannot for a long time maintain interest in playing in a team, in the actions of other children, they experience difficulties in unfolding the plot, in analyzing the role-playing behavior of those who play in predicting the result, in coordinating their actions with the actions of other children. Difficulties are associated with speech and thought operations: it is difficult for children from the whole - the plot of a fairy tale, an everyday plot - to single out the particular (to agree on who will play what role, what will do, say); and vice versa, to unite particulars (the role and behavior of each player) into a single plan.

The possibilities of using substitute words, the variability of vocabulary can be studied during the game, which puts the child in front of the need to use various objects and substitute words.

It is also necessary to check whether the child can reproduce "living and inanimate" sounds, imitate different voices, and whether he can change the pitch and strength of his voice. To this end, they usually ask questions: “How does the plane buzz? What is the bear's voice? etc.". In order to answer them correctly, the child is forced to imitate various sounds, choose emotional and expressive means (intonation, facial expressions, gestures).

It is important for the educator to be sure that the child correctly perceives the sounding speech, that he is attentive to the sounding word and sound. Lack of auditory attention is reflected not only in sound pronunciation, but also in understanding the meaning of words, in the perception and understanding of sentences in general, in understanding the hidden meaning, subtext. In addition, this will affect the child's assimilation of written language. For this purpose, a number of didactic games can be offered: “Guess what it sounds like?”; "How and where does the bell sound?"; "Echo". You can offer such tasks: “Show, repeat and complete”; “What is a puddle? What is skiing? etc. To draw attention to the sounding word, it is good to use the game of “word-shifters”.

To work on the development of speech, it is extremely important for the educator to determine whether the child knows what general categorical names are, generalizing words, synonyms, antonyms, paronyms, whether he knows associative links.

Lexical exercises and tasks perform the following functions:

Contribute to the development of attention to the change in the meaning and meaning of words depending on grammatical categories, derivational and formative features;

They reinforce the formation of connections between words, thereby forming a coherent statement.

Associative links

Contribute to the development of mental operations (the ability to choose, select and accurately use words);

Assume the development of variability in the use of vocabulary, fluency in grammatical categories.

In a coherent utterance of children, not only lexical and grammatical features are manifested, but, above all, difficulties in planning and correctly structuring the utterance; it is possible to replace the text with paralinguistic means - facial expressions, gestures, expressive movements, accompanied by emotional exclamations - interjections.

Determining deviations in the speech development of a child, it is important to understand the attitude of the child himself to the difficulties he experiences. With tempo-rhythmic deviations, carefully monitor the conditions under which an improvement or deterioration in the state of speech occurs (in a familiar, unfamiliar, unfamiliar environment), whether the child reacts to a “new” interlocutor, with whom it is easier to communicate - with an adult or a peer. In communication, the educator should not only analyze the state of the question-answer system, dialogue, rhythmic forms, the possibilities of compiling a retelling, speech accompanying productive activities, but also determine what forms and types of speech activity are available to the child.

Timely detection of deviations in speech activity will allow to provide early corrective assistance by a speech therapist, to carry out preventive and developmental work by an educator, to correct the personal characteristics of children.

3.1. Determining the level of speech development of preschoolers by means of psychodiagnostics

To determine the level of speech development of older preschoolers by means of psychodiagnostics, a stating experiment was carried out. The study was conducted on the basis of the preschool educational institution "Firefly". The experiment involved children 5-6 years old in the amount of 10 people.

The purpose of the experimental work is to diagnose the speech development of children, to study the communication skills of children.

Communicative-rhetorical skills are associated, firstly, with the ability to analyze and evaluate communication, and secondly, with the ability to communicate when the ability to navigate the situation is assessed.

Indicators for assessing children's speech:

The ability to navigate in different situations of communication, taking into account who is speaking, to whom the speaker is addressing, for what purpose, what - about what, how, etc .;

The ability to analyze and evaluate one's own speech behavior and the speech behavior of another, what the speaker said, what he wanted to say, what he said unintentionally, etc .;

Mastering the culture of listening, listening carefully to the interlocutor, adequately responding to the speaker's speech;

It is appropriate to use the rules of speech etiquette, conduct an etiquette dialogue;

Correlate verbal and non-verbal means of communication, possession of non-verbal means (facial expressions, gestures, body movements).

To identify the level of speech development in older preschoolers, the diagnostics “Development of speech according to the program “Rainbow” was used.

Diagnosis of children of the senior group on the development of speech was carried out in the following areas.

1. To diagnose the sound culture of speech, it was found out whether the child had speech defects. Which?

The following tasks were offered:

a) The child was asked to name any words with sound With.

“For example, I remembered now,” the teacher says, these are the words: pine… aspen… sowed… . Now your turn. Continue!"

b) A game was offered. A sheet of paper with a grid is given to determine the position of the sound in the word and a chip. The rules of the game are explained: “Repeat the word after me. river. Can you hear the sound R in this word? Is it heard at the beginning of a word or in the middle of it? Put a chip in the first window, as in the word river sound R is at the beginning of a word. Hear another word - rhinos. Where is the sound R? Put a chip in the second window. Let's say the word together fire. And I put the chip in the third window. Am I right or wrong? Now work on your own. I will call the word, you say it after me and put the chip in the right box: cancer ... lilac ... cheese.

2. The following was proposed for the examination of speech understanding and the level of active vocabulary.

a) The teacher says: “A little puppy has a very sore ear. He whines. Needs your sympathy. What will you tell him? Start like this: "You are mine..."

b) The children were asked to look at the picture. The question was asked what happened to the chickens. I was asked to come up with a title for the story.

The teacher asks to take a closer look at the chicken, which saw not yellow, but black and grimy chickens; describe her condition. She… .

3. Fiction.

a) The child is asked to read a favorite poem

b) They offer to name fairy tales that the child is ready to listen to more than once. If he cannot remember the name of the tale, let him start telling it, you can suggest the name.

c) The child is asked to remember the writers whose books were read in kindergarten and at home; artists who made beautiful drawings for children's books.

Assessment of assignments:

9-12 points (high level) - answers all tasks correctly, without prompting from adults, answers quickly and willingly.

5-8 points (intermediate level) - answers most of the questions correctly, but uses the prompt of an adult, answers slowly but willingly.

1-4 points (low level) - answers most of the questions incorrectly, even with a prompt from an adult, answers little and reluctantly.

The analysis of the obtained data was recorded in the individual card of the child (see Appendix), where the data on the child were indicated. Below is a summary table of test subjects for all three types of tasks (see table 1).

As a result of summing up the data obtained, the results presented in Diagram 1 were revealed.

Diagram 1.

Thus, in the process of diagnosing the speech development of children of older preschool age, it was found that only 2 out of 10 children have a high, i.e. normal level of speech development, 5 children have an average (satisfactory) level, and 3 children have a low level.

The work on determining the features of coherent speech among older preschoolers showed that children of this age make many mistakes in word usage, in the construction of not only complex, but also simple sentences; use the same methods of connecting sentences in the text. Some preschoolers break the sequence of presentation of thoughts, it is difficult for them to start or finish a statement. Often in their stories there are elements of narrative and description. Most often, children turn to the help of an adult, they can not always cope with the task on their own. This indicates the need for special training in order to master the active vocabulary, the formation of a sound culture of speech, the development of skills for transferring knowledge in fiction, and the construction of a coherent monologue statement.

Often, parents do not pay attention to the formation of speech in preschoolers. But at school, even slight deviations in the development of speech can lead to specific errors in mastering writing. Parents themselves can eliminate problems with speech skills, but sometimes you can’t do without the help of a speech therapist. Children who did not go to kindergarten must be tested for speech readiness without fail. If the baby attended a preschool institution, then there the children are prepared for school according to a certain program. But often the teacher focuses on the average level of development of children, so it is still worth checking certain speech skills of the baby. It is no secret that the better the child's speech is developed, the easier it will be for him to master writing and reading.

1. First of all, you need to pay attention to whether the child can clearly pronounce all the sounds. Otherwise, the child will write words in the same way as he pronounces them, i.e. with grammatical errors.

2. The child must determine by ear how many letters are in the word. For example, in the word "cat" - three letters or three sounds. To test such skills, you need to ask the baby to write the word that you pronounce. But replace all letters with sticks or circles. For example, the word "cat" is three sticks, the word "tree" is six sticks.

3. You need to pay attention so that the child understands which sound is the letter. Often children confuse similar-sounding letters. For example, B and P or Z and S. Therefore, when writing words, children cannot choose the correct letter and make mistakes. You can check the ability to distinguish sounds using the image of two different objects that differ in only one letter.

4. Parents and caregivers need to pay attention to the child's vocabulary. It must be at least 2000 words. You can determine whether a child knows so many words using several tasks:

Exercise 1. Ask the child to name a group of objects in one word. For example, a cup, spoon, plate, pan - ...? T-shirt, shirt, pants, dress -…?

Task 2. The child must name as many names as possible related to a particular group. For example, the names of animals, flowers, trees.

Task 3. Test your knowledge of adjectives. For example, what kind of dress is beautiful, red; what kind of hat - warm, blue; what a sun - bright, warming.

Task 4. The child must know not only the names of objects, but also what they do with them. For example, a toy is bought, played; flowers are planted, watered, a book is read, considered.

Task 5. The opposite of the fourth. There is an action - you need to figure out with what object it happens. Draw - a house, a typewriter, a picture; stroking - clothes, a kitten; cook - dinner, soup.

Task 6. We select words - synonyms. For example, big - huge, gigantic; light - snow-white, sunny.

Task 7. We select - anonymous. For example, big - small, slow - fast, beautiful - terrible.

5. Even if the child clearly pronounces all the words, has a large vocabulary and does not confuse sounds - that's not all. The child must correctly form phrases and the words themselves. With this, as a rule, there are no problems if adults themselves speak correctly. But sometimes even a schoolboy can hear such things as “I drove by meter”, “run faster”, “hot coffee”, etc.

6. Little schoolchildren should be able to express their thoughts. Mastering coherent speech is necessary for them, since it will be impossible to answer in a lesson without certain skills. To help your baby learn this last and difficult step, ask him to retell. It can be a story about today, a trip to the circus, or ask them to retell a new fairy tale.

Diagnosing the development of a child's speech is not a matter of one day. And if, nevertheless, deficiencies in the speech development of a preschooler were identified, then it is necessary to help the baby master this science.

Conclusion

Summing up the results of this study, it should be noted that the relevance of the problem of children's speech health has increased significantly over the years. With the growth of neuropsychic and somatic diseases of preschoolers, the formation of all mental functions in children is delayed and, as a result, more and more children with speech disorders appear, while at present the requirements for the speech development of children of older preschool age have increased significantly. In normally developing preschool children, by the beginning of schooling, speech is separated from direct practical experience, it acquires new functions.

Prevention of speech disorders of older preschool children in the educational work of preschool educational institutions, the formation of correct speech is of particular importance, since the readiness or unpreparedness of the child to start school depends on the level of speech development.

Diagnostics of the features of coherent speech in older preschoolers showed the presence of the following typical errors for children of this age:

In word usage, building not only a complex, but also a simple sentence;

The use of monotonous ways of linking sentences in the text;

Violation of the sequence of presentation of thoughts, it is difficult for them to start or finish a statement;

The predominant presence in the stories of elements of narrative and description;

Frequent appeal to the help of an adult, inability to cope with the task on their own, etc.

All this indicates the need for special training in order to master the active vocabulary, the formation of a sound culture of speech, and the construction of a coherent monologue statement.

DIAGNOSIS OF SPEECH DEVELOPMENT

PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

The problem of speech development of preschool children has now become very relevant. Teachers note an increase in the number of children with speech disorders. In order to provide timely assistance to a child with speech disorders, the teacher must clearly understand how the speech of a preschool child develops normally and what needs to be paid attention to in order to prevent and correct speech disorders in time. (see table)

What the teacher needs to pay attention to:

How often the child gets sick (somatically weakened children, as a rule, have underdevelopment not only of physical processes, but also mental, cognitive, speech underdevelopment);

Development of general and fine motor skills;

Speech development

IF:

• The child does not speak at all.

Lack of speech at 3 years is not just a delay - it is a signal of a gross speech violation!

• Delay at the naming stage. (after 3 years)

The child names objects in a specific situation (as a rule, only under the influence of an adult’s model), remains at the level of their designation for a long time, there are no sentences in speech. In real communication with people, instead of speech, there are gestures, movements, demanding exclamations, etc.

1. He talks like a little one.
2. When talking, the tongue is visible between the teeth.
3. Slurred speech.
4. Doesn't want to talk.
5. There were stutters in the speech.
6. there is a strong flow of saliva;

IT IS NECESSARY TO APPLY TO THE TEACHER-DEFECTOLOGIST URGENTLY

It is a mistake to hope for the spontaneous disappearance of pronunciation shortcomings as the child grows, because they can be firmly fixed and turn into a permanent violation.

Children with speech disorders include children with psychophysical disorders of varying severity, causing disorders in the communicative and generalizing (cognitive) functions of speech.

The main manifestations of speech pathology are:

• delay in the rate of normal language acquisition (the first words appear at 2-3 years, phrases - by 3-4 years);
• the presence of varying degrees of severity of violations of language subsystems (lexical, syntactic, morphological, phonemic, phonetic);
• satisfactory understanding of addressed speech (in case of gross underdevelopment of speech, there may be difficulties in understanding complex structures, various grammatical forms, but at the same time understanding of everyday speech is preserved)
• violations of sound pronunciation (normally, by the age of 5, the child should correctly pronounce all the sounds of speech).
• Speech stuttering in speech (stuttering) or a pathologically accelerated rate of speech.

Children with severe speech disorders have deviations in the emotional-volitional sphere. Children are characterized by instability of interests, reduced observation, reduced motivation, negativism, self-doubt, increased irritability, aggressiveness, resentment, difficulties in communicating with others, in establishing contacts with their peers. Children with severe speech disorders have difficulties in the formation of self-regulation and self-control.

These features in the development of children with severe speech disorders are not spontaneously overcome. They require specially organized correctional work from teachers.

The educator needs to carefully monitor the speech of the children and correct their mistakes not only in the classroom, but throughout all regime moments. It is very important that the mistakes are corrected by the teacher correctly. You can not tease the child, make fun of him, as this can provoke a decrease in speech activity or speech negativism, isolation, a negative attitude of the child towards the teacher.

In the classroom, the child's mistakes are fixed by the educator, all the children of the subgroup are involved in correcting inaccuracies. The teacher himself corrects grammatical errors if the children cannot do this. Errors in pronunciation are also corrected in the course of the answer, the child should be encouraged to pronounce the correct option.

Formation of the pronunciation side of speech(clarification and consolidation of the correct pronunciation of the sounds of the native language, their clear articulation in sound combinations and words, work on all elements of the sound culture of speech) is carried out by the educator at each lesson in combination with other speech tasks.

Introduction

Speech is one of the main lines of child development. The native language helps the baby to enter our world, opens up wide opportunities for communication with adults and children. With the help of speech, the baby learns the world, expresses his thoughts and views. Normal speech development is necessary for a child to succeed in school.

Speech develops at a rapid pace, and normally, by the age of 5, he correctly pronounces all the sounds of his native language; owns a significant vocabulary; mastered the basics of the grammatical structure of speech; owns the initial forms of coherent speech (dialogue and monologue), allowing him to freely come into contact with people around him. At preschool age, an elementary awareness of the phenomena of the native language begins. The child comprehends the sound structure of the word, gets acquainted with synonyms and antonyms, with the verbal composition of the sentence, etc. He is able to understand the patterns of constructing a detailed statement (monologue), seeks to master the rules of dialogue. The formation of an elementary awareness of linguistic and speech phenomena develops the arbitrariness of speech in children, creates the basis for successful mastery of literacy (reading and writing). At preschool age, along with certain achievements, omissions and shortcomings in the child's speech development become obvious. Any delay, any disturbance in the course of the development of a child's speech negatively affects his activity and behavior, and the formation of the personality as a whole.

The purpose of the survey is to determine the initial level of speech development of each child and the group as a whole at the beginning of the school year; determine the effectiveness of work on speech development for the previous year (the dynamics of speech development for the year).

1. Characteristics of the speech of preschool children

younger age

Under favorable conditions of education, the assimilation of the sound system of the language occurs by the age of four (correct pronunciation, the formation of the intonation structure of speech, the ability to convey the elementary intonation of a question, request, exclamation). The child accumulates a certain vocabulary, which contains all parts of speech.

The prevailing place in the children's dictionary is occupied by verbs and nouns denoting objects and objects of the immediate environment, their action and state. The generalizing functions of words are actively formed in the child. Through the word, the child masters the basic grammatical forms: the plural appears, the accusative and genitive cases of nouns, diminutive suffixes, the present and past tense of the verb, the imperative mood; complex forms of sentences develop, consisting of main and subordinate clauses, causal, target, conditional and other connections expressed through conjunctions are reflected in speech. Children master the skills of speaking, express their thoughts in simple and complex sentences, and are led to compose coherent statements of a descriptive and narrative type. However, in the speech of many children of the fourth year of life, other features are also noted.

At this age, preschoolers may incorrectly pronounce (or not pronounce at all) hissing (w, w, h, u), sonorous (p, p, l, l) sounds. The intonation side of speech requires improvement, work is needed both on the development of the child's articulatory apparatus, and on the development of such elements of sound culture as those, diction, voice power.

Mastering the basic grammatical forms also has its own characteristics. Not all children are able to coordinate words in gender, number and case. In the process of constructing simple extended sentences, they omit individual members of the sentence. The problem of speech neoplasms, which are generated by the word-formation system of the native language, also comes out very clearly. The desire to create new words is dictated to the child by the creative development of the riches of his native language. A simple form of dialogical speech is available to children of the fourth year of life, but they are often distracted from the content of the question. The child's speech is situational, expressive presentation prevails.

Middle preschool age

The main direction of speech development in the fifth year of life is the development of coherent monologue speech. Significant changes are also taking place in the development of word-formation methods, an explosion of word-creation begins. Children get an initial idea of ​​the word as a sound process (it sounds, consists of sounds, sounds are pronounced one after another, sequentially). Children of this age have a very strong attraction to rhyme. They choose words, sometimes devoid of any meaning. But this activity itself is far from meaningless: it contributes to the development of speech hearing, forms the ability to select words that are similar in sound.

The child learns to correctly understand and use the terms word, sounds, sound, listen to the sounding word, independently find words that are different and similar in sound, determine the sequence of sounding sounds in a word, highlight certain sounds. This is the period of familiarization of children with the word - its semantic side (it makes sense, denotes some object, phenomenon, action, quality). The child's active vocabulary is enriched with words denoting the qualities of objects and actions performed with them. Children can determine the purpose of the object, functional signs (The ball is a toy: it is played). They begin to select words with opposite meanings, compare objects and phenomena, use generalizing words (nouns with a collective meaning).

This is the period of practical assimilation of the rules for the use of grammatical means. The speech of children is replete with grammatical errors, neologisms ("children's" words like "machine", "knocked", "creep"). Children master the morphological means of the language (coordination of words in gender, number, case, alternation of consonants in the stems of verbs and nouns). The child is brought to an understanding of the ambiguity of individual grammatical forms. He learns ways of word-formation of nouns with suffixes of emotional-expressive evaluation, with suffixes meaning baby animals, as well as some ways of forming verbs with prefixes, degrees of comparison of adjectives.

Children learn the ability to build different types of statements - description and narration. When compiling stories, the understanding of the semantic side of speech, the syntactic structure of sentences, the sound side of speech are improved, i.e. all those skills that a child of the fifth year of life needs for the development of coherent speech. Speech activity also increases IN CONNECTION with the fact that this is the age of the "why". At the same time, there are violations in the speech of children of the fifth year of life. Not all children correctly pronounce hissing and sonorous sounds, some have insufficiently developed intonational expressiveness. There are also shortcomings in mastering the grammatical rules of speech (coordination of nouns and adjectives in gender and number, the use of the genitive plural). The speech of children from four to five years old is characterized by mobility and instability. They can focus on the semantic side of the word, but the exact use of the word causes difficulty for many children. Most children do not have the ability to build a description and narration to a sufficient degree: they violate the structure, sequence, do not have the ability to connect sentences and parts of a statement. This specification is approximate. The levels of speech development of children of the same age are very different. These differences are especially clear in the middle preschool age. Firstly, by this time most children learn the word and sound pronunciation. Secondly, the child masters coherent speech and begins to build an independent statement, consisting at first of only a few sentences. The level of speech development of children of the fifth year of life can be identified by the method developed for the younger group. However, some tasks are added and complicated.

senior preschool age

In children of senior preschool age, the development of speech reaches a high level. Most children correctly pronounce all the sounds of their native language, can regulate the strength of the voice, the pace of speech, the intonation of the question, joy, surprise. By the senior preschool age, the child accumulates a significant vocabulary. The enrichment of vocabulary (the vocabulary of the language, the totality of words used by the child) continues, the stock of words that are similar (synonyms) or opposite (antonyms) in meaning, polysemantic words is increasing.

Thus, the development of the dictionary is characterized not only by an increase in the number of words used, but also by the child's understanding of the different meanings of the same word (multi-valued). Movement in this regard is extremely important, since it is associated with an increasingly complete awareness of the semantics of the words that they already use.

At the senior preschool age, the most important stage of the speech development of children is basically completed - the assimilation of the grammatical system of the language. The amazing weight of simple common sentences, compound and complex sentences, is increasing. Children develop a critical attitude to grammatical errors, the ability to control their speech.

The most striking characteristic of the speech of older preschool children is the active assimilation or construction of different types of texts (description, narration, reasoning). In the process of mastering coherent speech, children begin to actively use different types of word connections within a sentence, between sentences and between parts of a statement, observing their structure (beginning, middle, end).

Children make mistakes in the formation of different grammatical forms. And of course, the correct construction of complex syntactic constructions is difficult, which leads to an incorrect combination of words in a sentence and the connection of sentences with each other when compiling a coherent statement.

The main shortcomings in the development of coherent speech are the inability to build a coherent text using all the structural elements (beginning, middle, end), to connect parts of the statement.

Speech tasks in relation to children of older preschool age are included in those sections as in previous ages, however, each task becomes more complicated both in content and in teaching methods.

Methods for identifying individual aspects of children's speech development. The section discusses individual methods that reveal the peculiarities of a child's possession of vocabulary, grammar, phonetics of the native language.

Babies master the art of speech gradually, just as they learn to walk, hold a spoon, read or draw. Of course, the process of speech formation is individual. All children begin to speak differently, their vocabulary is not replenished in the same way, there are differences in the complexity of spoken phrases, and in many other ways.

Nevertheless, despite the fact that the development of speech takes place individually, there are certain norms that babies must reach by a specific age. If back in the middle of the last century everything related to speech development was relatively simple - children with defects in pronunciation were sent to a speech therapist and were limited to this, then today things are somewhat different. There are many methodological aids with which teachers and parents can evaluate the child's speech and engage in its development. Research is also being carried out in this area. Close attention is paid to speech development in kindergartens.

What is speech?

Diagnosis of the speech development of preschool children is impossible without a clear understanding of what exactly verbal activity is. Of course, the expression "verbal activity" in this case implies ordinary speech.

What is speech? According to the definition, this is a form of communication between people and the transfer of information, historically established and carried out through language structures. Of course, speech is also one of the highest manifestations of mental activity.

What is important for diagnosing its development in children?

Diagnosis of the speech development of preschool children is carried out on the basis of an assessment of individual properties that characterize verbal activity.

The properties of speech that you need to pay attention to are:

• content;
• understandability;
• expressiveness;
• efficiency.

Under the intelligibility of a child's speech is meant not only its intelligibility and the correct pronunciation of sounds. Within the framework of this characteristic, it is also considered how exactly the baby builds sentences, whether he highlights words, whether he uses pauses. That is, this characteristic includes the ability to place logical stress, to emphasize the semantic meaning of the phrase.

Expressiveness is the emotional richness of children's speech. This characteristic also includes such concepts as the variety of language means used. Efficiency is the intelligibility of what is said, the impact of speech on people.

What are the goals of diagnosing speech development?

The question of why this is necessary, parents often ask teachers in kindergartens. As a rule, adults are confused by the wording in which the word “diagnosis” is involved. Accustomed to referring this term to the medical field, many believe that diagnosing the speech development of preschool children is something like a verdict and are afraid that someone will put a kind of stigma on their baby.

In fact, the methods pursue completely different goals. In the course of speech diagnostics, the following skills and abilities are revealed:

• accuracy and appropriateness of the use of words;
• understanding the meaning, the meaning of what is said;
• possession of declensions and other changes in the forms of parts of sentences;
• the ability to choose expressions that are similar and different in meaning;
• the difference in semantic shades in polysemantic words;
• the degree of orientation of the uttered to the transfer of meaning, description.

That is, the main goals of diagnostic methods are the formulation of the individual task of the speech development of preschool children. In other words, these techniques identify the strengths and weaknesses in the child's speech and help parents and kindergarten workers identify the directions needed for the optimal development of a particular child.

What might be the results

Specialists determine the following basic levels of speech development of preschool children:

• short;
• average;
• high.

None of them is permanent, unchanging. This means that if a baby has a high level of speech development, then he may well lose it later if they do not deal with him.

Low level of speech development

Most parents are frightened when they hear from the teacher a statement about the low degree of speech development in their child. Meanwhile, such a diagnostic result should not cause any worries or concerns. The peculiarities of the speech development of preschool children are that each kid masters verbal skills individually, at his own pace.

By what criteria is a child assigned a low level of speech development? This question invariably arises among parents who believe that they do a lot of work with the baby and, compared to their peers, their child does not look lagging behind or not particularly developed.

On this topic: Reproduction of an orchid by a peduncle: effective methods, methods and recommendations

The criteria by which the teacher evaluates the level of speech development as low are as follows:

• when a word is presented with the task to compose a phrase with it, the baby simply repeats it without adding anything;
• does not cope with the choice of antonyms or synonyms, does not understand the difference between them;
• uses situations that do not correspond to the semantic meaning of the expression;
• cannot explain what is meant by listing the names of objects.

This list can be supplemented depending on what diagnostic materials were used by teachers in assessing the child's verbality. For example, if methods based on folklore materials were used, then an incorrect answer to a riddle or a lack of understanding of the meaning of a saying, proverb are also criteria that allow us to state that the baby’s speech development is at a low level.

Parents who are anxious should find out in advance how exactly the diagnostics of the speech development of preschool children will be carried out in the garden. A table with questions and testing methods involved, as a rule, is not secret and is either posted on the information stand or available directly from the educator or head teacher.

What to do if the baby's speech is at a low level

The relativity of the criteria that preschool workers are guided by is obvious even to people who are far from pedagogy. Therefore, it is not worth getting upset and even more so arguing with the teacher. It is necessary to find out in detail what exactly the child did not cope with during the diagnostic tasks.

For example, if the diagnosis of the speech development of preschool children revealed that the baby cannot pick up antonyms or synonyms for a word, then it is worth doing just that with him. Things are much more complicated in situations where teachers use the so-called “fashionable” methods, in other words, thematic ones. For example, those based on oral folk art, folklore. The results of testing children using such specific methods are not only controversial, they almost always do not correspond to reality. If a teacher in a preschool institution is going to use such diagnostic materials, then he must first deal with the kids - introduce children to folklore, disassemble proverbs and sayings, and explain the meaning of riddles.

For example, the well-known riddle about a girl in a dungeon who let her scythe out into the street. A modern urban child, without a preliminary explanation, is not able to guess that we can talk about carrots. For a baby, this vegetable appears from a store or from a market stall, and not at all from under the ground. And there are a lot of similar nuances.

Average level of speech development

The main problems of the speech development of preschool children, the identification of which allows teachers to talk about the average level, are as follows:

• when a word is presented with the task to compose a phrase with it, the baby supplements it with only one epithet;
• copes with the choice of antonyms or synonyms, but pronounces them in the wrong case, declension;
• incorrectly pronounces individual sounds, which causes difficulties in understanding what was said;
• in case of errors in the execution of tests, corrects them with the help of leading questions or other tips.

Thus, almost any kid can demonstrate the average level of speech development, without any special classes with him. However, difficulties may arise in those children who are not particularly active in communication and are prone to embarrassment and excitement. Often this is the reason that the child copes with the tasks averagely, and not excellently.

What to do if the baby's speech is at an average level?

Average verbal level scores are a good result, indicating the correct and timely development of the baby. However, this does not mean that parents do not need to do anything.

You should constantly engage with the child, increase his vocabulary, expand the levels of complexity of constructing phrases. It is imperative to find out from the teacher what exactly to pay special attention to. For example, if a child on a task makes up a sentence with only a couple of words, this should be done.

High level of speech development

Such an assessment does not at all mean that the diagnostics of the speech development of children of older preschool age did not reveal any problematic nuances. She only says that the baby does not feel embarrassed when communicating, is active and has a broad outlook for his age.

The criteria that allow the kindergarten teacher to assert that the baby’s speech is developed to the maximum are as follows:

• when presented with a word with the task to compose a phrase with it, the child pronounces a sentence of at least three components;
• there are no difficulties with understanding the meanings of expressions;
• easily and quickly selects synonyms and antonyms, in the correct form;
• copes with such a test as a retelling of a literary work heard;
• there are no defects in the pronunciation of sounds.

Children who are inquisitive, active and sociable usually receive high marks for the level of speech development. This is a very good result, indicating not only verbal development and intelligence, but that the child is devoid of complexes and does not experience psychological problems.

What to do if the baby's speech is at a high level?

Such an assessment is often a source of pride for parents, especially mothers who are housewives love to brag about it. But it is not only a reason for family joy, but also a reason to think about how to support the achieved result.

Be sure to talk with the teacher and find out in which tasks the child was weaker. Of course, they should become a priority in the classroom. It's also important not to overdo it. Excessively early development often leads to the fact that in the primary grades the child has nothing to learn. He becomes bored, the brain stops straining, which leads to a sharp decline in academic performance after completing elementary school.

What is FGOS?

Quite often, teachers tell parents that the speech development of preschool children according to the Federal State Educational Standard is carried out in the kindergarten. This sounds solid, but it is completely incomprehensible to the vast majority of people who choose a garden for their child.

The abbreviation GEF stands for very simply. These are state standards in the field of education that have federal significance. That is, in essence, this is a kind of analogue of GOST, only it regulates not the quality of products, but services in the field of education.

What is included in development programs that meet state standards

The speech development of preschool children according to the Federal State Educational Standard should be carried out in conjunction with other activities. Development programs should include the following areas:

• socio-communicative;
• cognitive;
• directly verbal;
• artistic and aesthetic;
• physical.

This means that in preschool institutions, teachers approach the development of children in a comprehensive manner, not limited to only one of the areas. If the kindergarten has a special status, for example, speech therapy, then this means that the problem area has priority over others, but does not cancel them at all.

What include methods for the development of children's speech that meet state standards

Technologies of speech development of preschool children are classes with them, both in teaching and in game forms. The closer the onset of school age, the greater the priority for classes held in the same way as a regular lesson.

Federal standards comply with methods that include the following areas:

• formation of oral speech skills;
• replenishment of active vocabulary;
• development of monologue speech and the ability to conduct a dialogue;
• the concept of speech creativity and its basics.

In addition, in the methodological materials used by teachers, there may be sections devoted to the development of intonation skills, logical stress, sound and phonetic culture.

What methods are used in the diagnosis

Methods for diagnosing the speech development of preschool children are constantly being developed and their number is quite large. Each preschool institution has the right to choose for itself a set of methodological materials and manuals. For this reason, those parents who wish to be aware of how their child will learn and what they will use when diagnosing the degree of development of his speech should contact the educators or head of the kindergarten directly.

As a rule, the methods of the following authors are used in diagnostics:

• F. G. Daskalova;
• O.S. Ushakov;
• EAT. Strunin;
• O.A. Bezrukova;
• HE. Kalenkov;
• E.S. Zaitsev;
• VC. Sheptunova.

Of course, the list of teaching aids is not limited to the works of these teachers; in a particular kindergarten, tests of other authors can also be guided.

How to deal with a baby, what to look for

The foundations of the speech development of preschool children are laid not in children's institutions, but in families. This must not be forgotten. Toddlers learn something not only during educational games with them or when parents read a book to them aloud. The development of speech skills is a continuous process. Children learn them by watching adults, copying them, imitating the manner and expression of speech, pronouncing the same words.

Reading 11 min.

Identification of the level of speech development occurs through a diagnostic examination of preschoolers.

Diagnosis of speech development of children 2-4 years old.

Formation of a dictionary.

To conduct a diagnostic examination of younger preschoolers and identify their level of speech development, illustrative material is needed: thematic subject and plot pictures. Children need to be interested, and therefore all tasks are offered in a playful way.

Preschoolers should be guided in the following lexical topics: “Seasons”, “Toys”, “Vegetables and fruits”, “Clothes and shoes”, “Dishes”, “Furniture”, “Personal hygiene items”, “Domestic and wild animals”, "Poultry", "Insects", "Man. Body parts".

To fix nouns, you can offer options for tasks.

• Option. 1. In the table, different subject pictures, an adult shows any image, and the child must say what it is.
• Option 2. The adult names the object, and the child must find its image.
• Option 3. An adult offers to select all the pictures on a given topic. For example, "Show toys." "Gather the vegetables." "Where are the pets?"

The use of verbs in speech can be checked by offering a preschooler of this age plot pictures depicting labor actions, modes of movement, and emotional states of people. The child, looking at the picture, must answer the proposed questions. For example, “How does a worm move? Butterfly?" etc.

Adjectives. An adult shows either an image or some object and asks to determine its color, size, what it tastes like. For example, lemon (yellow, sour).

For preschoolers 3-4 years old, offer the game "Say the other way around." The adult begins the phrase, and the child finishes:

• The elephant is big, and the mouse .... (small).
• Mom has long hair, and dad .... (short).
• The wolf is brave, and the hare ... (cowardly).

To check adverbs (high-low, far-close, warm-cold), you will also need plot pictures.

The grammatical structure of speech

To test the ability of children to put nouns in the plural form, he is invited to consider paired object pictures (chair-chairs, plate-plates, etc.) and answer “What is shown in one picture? (one item) to another? (several items).

Checking the formation of skills to form diminutive forms of nouns occurs with the help of subject pictures. The child can be offered to name the depicted objects affectionately, for example, a doll - a doll, a table - a table, an apple - an apple, etc.

The ability to coordinate nouns and pronouns with verbs is better with the help of plot pictures or toys and leading questions. For example, the doll is sleeping, but the dolls? The ball lies, and the balls?

The use of verbs in different tenses can be reinforced with questions like, “What are you doing now? What did mom do yesterday? What are you doing tomorrow?"

The correct use of prepositions is also checked with the help of questions about plot pictures or the location of objects in space. For example, there is a box in front of the baby, there is a red cube in it, and a green one is on it, a doll is sitting in front of the box, behind it is a matryoshka. You can ask the child questions: “Where is the doll? Cubes? Green cube? Red? etc.

Sound culture of speech

This is a clear pronunciation of all sounds. An adult can hear mistakes in everyday speech of preschoolers. You can also ask the child to repeat the words after the parent to check for a specific sound, for example, the hard and soft sound “m” - mouse, ball, Masha, bear.

Connected speech

Preschoolers should be able to:

• clearly express your thoughts;
• tell a familiar fairy tale, an event from your life (How did you spend your weekend? What did you like about the circus? etc.;
• compose a short descriptive story about the toy using leading questions and using the plot picture “The doll is having lunch”, “The boy plays toys”.

The table shows the approximate requirements for telling a familiar fairy tale (for a high level of speech development of younger preschoolers).

Diagnosis of speech development of children 4 - 5 years old

Vocabulary formation

Preschoolers of this age should have elementary knowledge of lexical topics: “Seasons”, “Toys”, “Vegetables and fruits”, “Clothes and shoes”, “Dishes”, “Furniture”, “tools, household appliances”, “Personal items hygiene”, “Trees and shrubs”, “Berries”, “Flowers”, “Domestic and wild animals”, “Poultry”, “Wintering and migratory birds”, “Insects”, “Man. Parts of the body”, “Professions”. Games are used to fix them:

• “Find out by description”: an adult thinks of some object and names its characteristics, the child must guess what was conceived, for example, yellow, oval, sour (lemon), green, round, sweet, large (watermelon);
• "Who has who?" - there are two windows in the table, in one is an image of an adult animal, in the second - the child must put the image of a cub, who does the hare have? (hare), At the she-wolf? At the chicken, etc.
• “Call it affectionately” - a fox - a fox, a duck - a duck, a sparrow - sparrows, etc.
• “One-many” - one lemon - many lemons; one ball - many balls, one birch - many birches, etc.
• “Come on the ball, name the parts of the body” or “Throw the ball, name the furniture quickly.” The adult says a general concept and throws the ball to the child. He, returning the ball, must list the appropriate words. The game will be more interesting if several children take part.

To identify the preschooler's understanding of the purpose of objects, the game “What is for what?” Is used:

• What is the artist drawing?
• What is used to sew on a button?
• What item do you need to play football?
• In what dishes are the first dishes prepared? Etc.

Diagnostics grammatical structure of speech is carried out using similar tasks as in the examination of preschoolers 3 years old.

To check the use of prepositions, you can offer such a task. In a table card, decompose geometric shapes according to the assignment, for example, a square above a triangle, a circle under a triangle, an oval into a square.

Sound culture of speech

At this age, preschoolers should pronounce all sounds clearly. In the sound table, vowels are marked in red, hard consonants in blue, and soft consonants in green.

To identify the development of the skills of children of this age to differentiate words that are similar in sound, it is proposed to name the images in the pictures or repeat after the adult: dot - daughter, goat - braid, heat - ball, duck - fishing rod, etc.

You can check the ability to hear a certain sound from the sound range as follows. The parent pronounces several sounds “t, p, a, l, i, d, and”, the child needs to clap when he hears, for example, the sound “and”.

With the help of the game "Echo" auditory attention is checked. An adult pronounces syllables and asks them to repeat: pee-bee; date; zo-so; zha-sha.

Connected speech

For this age it is important to be able to:

• come up with simple sentences of 3-4 words;
• compose stories based on a picture, a series of pictures, from personal experience up to 5 sentences;
• retell texts of 3-5 sentences;
• read poetry expressively.

For productive speech development, it is useful to use visual aids developed independently. So that the child quickly memorizes verses, they can be presented in a table, for example:

Diagnosis of speech development of children 5–6 years old

Vocabulary formation

Lexical topics are supplemented by "Holidays", "Musical Instruments", "Animals of the North and South". Games are used, as in the examination of preschoolers 4-5 years old.

The child’s understanding of the semantic side of the word can be checked by asking the child to come up with the end of sentences:

• In autumn it often drizzles…
• In the spring, migratory birds return from the south ...
• The symbol of Russia is a white-barreled ...

The grammatical structure of speech

The development of auditory attention is checked using the following task. The adult calls the words, and the child needs to clap when he hears the sound “sh”, in the words house, spinning top, hat, bark, fox, bump, pen, car.

Sound culture of speech

The adult names the words, the child determines which syllable is stressed and how many syllables: fishing rod, car, ball, box, horse.

The game "Find the sound" - the child must determine the position of the given sound in the word, for example, the sound "c" - owl, dew, litter, lynx, braid.

The game "Hard-soft" - the child needs to determine in which position the given sound is located. A new sound is marked in the sound table with a color signal.

Determine the number of sounds and letters in a word.

Connected speech

Preschoolers of this age should be able to:

• make simple and complex sentences. For example, from the given words: from the mountains, spring, streams, came, ran.
• from the proposed phrases, form new ones: a dress made of wool - a woolen dress, wooden boxes - a box made of wood, an apple turned red - a reddened apple, etc.

To identify the level of use of adjectives in children's speech, the following task options are offered:

The child is offered objects or subject pictures, he needs to name their signs: What ball? What pear? What chair? What flowers?

A preschooler of this age should form adjectives from nouns: what kind of wooden table? (wooden), What kind of glass is it? (glass), What kind of chicken cutlets? (chicken), What silk dress? (silk), etc.

The use of antonyms: clean - (dirty), kind - (evil), fat - (thin), cheerful - (sad), warm - (cold), far - (close), friend - (enemy), etc.

The formation of verbs with the help of prefixes: fly - (fly away, fly, fly off, fly up, fly in, fly), etc.

Table results

Diagnostics involves the final result, namely, the identification of the level of development: + high - all tasks are performed independently, correctly; - + medium - most of it is done correctly or all with hints; - low - most of it is not completed. The table can reflect all the components of speech at all levels of the age of preschoolers.

Sound culture of speech

A preschooler must clearly pronounce all sounds. The child either pronounces words to a given sound, or repeats sentences, for example, Sasha walked along the highway and sucked dry; Zina closed the lock; Roma is happy for Rita.

The child is offered tasks for the sound analysis of the word:

• highlight the stressed vowel: fishing rod, pack, game.
• name the first and last consonant: daughter, catfish, lump, lemon, table.
• choose pictures depicting objects that contain the sound "N": fish, knife, shovel, socks, glass, scarf.
• determine the number of syllables in a word: mosquito, snail, scoop, army, shirt.
• name the sound with which the word in the picture begins, in the table below. In an empty cell, the child must put the corresponding color card. (red - vowel, blue - hard consonant, green - soft consonant)

Connected speech

The tasks are similar to those for examining preschoolers of six years of age, only the stories being compiled should be up to 8 sentences long. In the table there are reference pictures with which the child composes the story "Winter".
