Činnosti k rozvoji řečových dovedností v předškolním vzdělávání – Balvínová Kryčová Marta (2018)

A comprehensive overview of areas for developing children's speech and detailed plans for targeted support of communication skills, including practical activities. The ability to communicate is a fundamental condition for a successful transition to the first grade of elementary school. Currently, there is an increasing number of children with weaker vocabulary, pronunciation difficulties, and issues with the culture of spoken expression. Therefore, it is essential for educators in kindergartens to work thoughtfully and focus on the targeted development of speech skills from the beginning of preschool education until the start of elementary school. The publication includes theoretical insights into the factors influencing the acquisition of children's speech, methods for developing speech skills, the most common speech disorders in children, and their possible prevention in kindergarten. It further offers a comprehensive overview of areas for developing children's speech and detailed plans for targeted support of communication skills with sets of gradually connected activities that support the speech skills of preschool-aged children. The publication is primarily intended for kindergarten teachers, assistants, students of preschool education, and parents interested in the issue of impaired communication skills.
