“Use of gaming technologies for speech development in older preschoolers.”Modern children live in a powerful flow of information. A huge stream of speech falls on children’s heads: some can cope with it, while others’ brains are not ready for such volumes. This negative trend, unfortunately, is constantly growing. The number of children with speech disorders and delayed speech development is increasing. And speech, as we know, is one of the most powerful factors and stimuli for the development of a child as a whole.
The problem of speech development in preschool children is especially relevant today, because the percentage of preschoolers with various speech disorders remains consistently high. Children experience difficulties in sound pronunciation, in mastering lexical and grammatical forms, have a poor vocabulary and are unable to construct coherent statements. In children's speech there are no figurative expressions, few adjectives, words are unambiguous, and the language is inexpressive.
The use of gaming technologies at all stages of the pedagogical process solves the problem of reducing children's speech activity and its low communicative orientation. In play, children naturally learn to express their thoughts coherently, consistently and logically, and all components of speech develop.
This experience was developed for preschool children and is intended to interest teachers and parents in the problem of speech development in preschool children using gaming technologies.
The development of a child’s speech requires constant pedagogical guidance. In this regard, it is necessary to develop, on the basis of preschool educational institutions, a system for the development of children’s speech using gaming technologies in the pedagogical process, which will contribute to the development of understanding of speech, expansion and enrichment of children’s ideas about the environment, the formation of generalized ideas about objects and actions, the development of active speech, enriching and expanding the vocabulary, improving the sound culture of speech, developing children’s need to communicate through speech, teaching simple forms of monologue and dialogic speech.
The conditions for successful speech development are:
The first condition is the need for communication, or communication. Creating situations that put the child in front of the need for verbal expressions.
The second condition is the creation of a speech environment that provides children with speech samples. The speech environment is the speech of parents (legal representatives), relatives, friends, folklore, fiction, radio and television, cinema and theater, and the speech of a teacher.
The third condition is the stock of knowledge that a child must have at a certain stage of his development. A preschooler will only talk well about what he knows well.
The fourth condition is the implementation of a game system aimed at developing all aspects of each child’s speech (sound pronunciation, vocabulary, grammatical structure, coherent speech).
The fifth condition is the development of fine motor skills in children.
To achieve the goal of the experience, it is necessary to include gaming technologies not only in direct educational activities, but also in the free activities of children.
I am convinced that the use of gaming technologies in the pedagogical process of a preschool educational institution has a positive effect on the quality of the educational process and allows for ongoing correction of its results, since it has a dual focus: to increase the efficiency of raising and teaching children, and to remove the negative consequences of education.
The main directions of my work on the development of children's speech using various gaming technologies:
- Vocabulary development: mastering the meanings of words and their appropriate use in accordance with the context of the utterance, with the situation in which communication takes place.
- Nurturing the sound culture of speech: developing the perception of sounds of native speech and pronunciation.
- Formation of grammatical structure: morphology (changing words by gender, number, case), syntax (mastering various types of phrases and sentences), word formation, inflection.
- Development of coherent speech: dialogic (conversational) speech, monologue speech (storytelling).
- Formation of elementary awareness of the phenomena of language and speech: distinguishing between sound and word, finding the place of sound in a word. Fostering love and interest in the artistic word.
- Sensory development.
In my work, I include gaming technologies in direct educational activities and in the free activities of children.
- Benefits for the development of fine motor skills (games with buttons and laces, massage rollers, balls, clothespins, stencils; finger games; various materials for composing letters).
- Games for the development of coherent speech (mnemonic tables, schemes for retelling fairy tales and memorizing poems, various types of theater)
- Aids for the development of breathing (the game “Doubleball” , colorful balls, butterflies, plumes, paper snowflakes, pinwheels, pencils, bells, etc.).
- Games and aids for automating sounds (small toys; object pictures; plot pictures; various types of theaters; albums for each sound; speech therapy albums for automating various sounds; tongue twisters, poems, nursery rhymes, tongue twisters).
- Card files of speech games:
- for the development of auditory attention
- for the development of phonemic hearing
-on the development of physiological breathing
- for the development of speech breathing
-on voice development.
Any delay, any disturbance in the development of a child’s speech negatively affects his activity and behavior, and the formation of his personality as a whole. Thus, work on speech development using gaming technologies allows children, by the end of the preschool period, not only to learn to play and improve speech, but also to significantly expand their knowledge about the world around them.
